Tablet
Unlimited Tablet Plan **TOP PICK**
Tablets can be added as an extra line onto AT&T's business unlimited smartphone plans for just $20/month. When added as a line of service, data is unlimited on the tablet but is always subject to network management. Additionally, add-on tablet lines get 15GB of mobile hotspot use and support for HD video.
However, there's also a little-known standalone unlimited data tablet plan, which is $30/month that can be purchased ala carte without other lines of service.
There is little information available on the current details of the plan as it's not listed on their business page, we have found an official PDF from AT&T Business describing the plan. The plan has network management after 22GB of usage, includes some high-speed mobile hotspot use (assumed to be at 10GB), and HD video streaming (if Video Management is turned off).
Note that the price of this plan increased from $20/month to $30/month in early 2023.
It is listed in AT&T's system as "AT&T Unlimited Tablet." Previous versions were called "Unlimited For iPad" and "Unlimited for Tablet." You'll have to find a rep who knows about this plan over the phone or in a corporate store to activate it on a cellular-enabled tablet.
This is a post-paid plan for tablets only, with a $50 activation fee.
Wireless Broadband
Wireless Broadband Plans **TOP PICK**
AT&T offers a lineup of Wireless Broadband plans which are tiered-speed data plans for hotspots and routers. They are intended to be a primary, failover, or temporary connection for business needs and an easy-to-set-up option for new and remote business locations. They include unlimited but deprioritized data, and are priced by the rated speed cap. All include 5G access.
When first introduced, these plans could only be used for fixed locations. However, that restriction was removed in 2021, and they are now eligible for mobile use.
In March 2024, these plans were updated with new names, price increases of $5 a month, dropping included Fast Track data, and additional fine print stating the plans are not intended for entertainment or non-business applications. Other terms remained the same. Later in 2024, the plans lost all premium data and now all data is deprioritized.
Currently Available Plans
- Premium (100 Mbps) - $100/month (Requires a Cat-18 or higher device)
- Advanced (50 Mbps) - $80/month (Requires a Cat-18 or higher device)
- Standard (25 Mbps) - $70/month (Requires a Cat-11 or higher device)
Prices reflect $5/month discounts for AutoPay and paperless billing.
Plan Limitations
The Business Wireless Broadband plans include some specific limitations you should know:
Eligibility: All Wireless Broad accounts are for Business customers only and require a credit check on an SSN for sole proprietors or the federal tax ID for a business.
Eligible Devices:
- "Each plan is limited to one CRU line and requires a qualified mobile hotspot device (sold separately) supporting business applications." Note: Cellular routers are also eligible.
- The Advanced and Premium plans require a minimum LTE Cat-18 device. The Standard plan previously required a minimum LTE Cat-11 device, but the TOS dropped this requirement. All plans support 5G devices.
- Our testing and other user reports indicate that AT&T enforces these device minimums, including when swapping the SIM to a lower-category device.

Other Data Plans
Business DataConnect Plans
The business versions of the consumer DataConnect plans provide buckets of tiered data and automatically assess overages for exceeding the bucket allowance.
The current options are:
- 50GB for $55
- 100GB for $90
Prices above include a $10 discount for autopay and paperless billing.
Customers who exceed their data allotment will automatically receive 5GB of additional data in increments for $10 per increment.
These options include 5G and 5G+ for compatible devices.
Business Data Advantage Plans
The Business Data Advantage Plans offer plans with a high-speed data cap, and then unlimited data at 512 Kbps after that.
The current plan options are:
- 10GB for $50
- 20GB for $90
- 45GB for $150
These plans come with 5G and 5G+ (AT&T's mmWave network) for compatible devices.
Business Connect Plans
AT&T's Business Connect plans come in three flavors: Telemetry, Capped, and Backup.
The "backup" option is the only remotely viable option, but it is intended to use shared buckets of "pooled" with multiple devices. Data costs range from 250MB for $20 to 200GB for $950 (not a typo).
Once data caps are reached, additional data will be automatically added.
These plans can access AT&T's 5G networks with a compatible device.
Business Mobile Select Pooled Plans
The business Mobile Select Pooled plan combines a variety of types of devices into a single pooled plan, but the data caps out at 10GB per device. Overages on one device can be offset by using less data on another device. 5G access is available with compatible devices.
Business Plan Requirements
Business Plan Requirements
AT&T Business offerings are generally available to any business customer, but some plans may only be available to certain types of business accounts and may be restricted based on credit history.
Setting up a business account can be done at an AT&T store or by calling business sales at 855-707-1019. Generally, the best method is to call business sales and talk to a rep directly as store reps are often not knowledgeable about business options. You cannot sign up for a business account on the AT&T website.
Here is the information required to set up a business account:
- A Business tax ID or SSN as a sole proprietor
- A driver's license number
- The plan you want to sign up for
- The IMEI of the device you want the plan for if you are getting a BYOD option
- Contact & billing information
AT&T will run a credit check on the business or your personal SSN. Credit history requirements are not published, but if the credit check doesn't meet AT&T's requirements, AT&T may require a per-line refundable deposit of $1,000 to activate business service.
Once you get a business account, signing up for additional lines/plans is generally done through your business sales representative, but a few plans are available at some AT&T stores.
