AT&T today rolled out combined wireless and television packages that rely on its recent acquisition of DirecTV.
The basic package includes four wireless lines with unlimited talk and text with 10 GB of shared data and HD television service with up to four receivers (DirecTV or U-verse) for a combined price of $200 per month.
AT&T is offering four different TV packages, including DirecTV Select or U-verse U-Family for $50 per month; DirecTV Xtra or U-verse U-200 for $70; DirecTV Ultimate or U-verse U-300 for $75; and DirecTV Premiere or U-verse U-450 for $125. The $200 combined price includes the entry-level $50 TV plan and AT&T’s $160 four-line wireless family plan.
Customers who choose one of the other DirecTV packages will still see a $10 monthly discount when wireless and television services are combined on a single bill. Customers may also choose to add AT&T’s home broadband internet services on top of the wireless and television packages.
AT&T customers who sign up for DirecTV will be given access to DirecTV’s mobile video apps before the DirecTV service is even installed. Existing DirecTV customers who switch to AT&T will be given a $300 bill credit. AT&T is now selling DirecTV services at 2,000 stores around the country.
The bundled wireless/TV packages will be available August 10.
