Phones are getting more expensive, memory prices are soaring through the roof, and now it looks like AT&T customers are in for another price hike. According to an exclusive PhoneArena report, it looks like AT&T is getting ready to raise its prices for some customers next month.
AT&T price hike on the way
According to PhoneArena’s Adrian Diaconescu, they cite a source that has proven to be reliable in the past. They shared some internal employee training documents that look pretty legit, all of which suggests that AT&T is getting ready to hike the price for some of its customers.
So, the question is, who will be affected by this price increase? According to the report, there are two groups of customers who could end up paying more. This includes AT&T internet customers on fiber and copper plans established between June 2024 and July 2025. Then there is Access from AT&T customers who are on the $15/month Copper Plan for speeds up to 50Mbps.
The affected customers are expected to pay an extra $5 a month starting August 16. As PhoneArena notes, Access from AT&T was designed to provide internet to low-income users and households. While an extra $5 a month doesn’t seem like a lot for some of us, this change could be more impactful on those subscribers.
Customers who are affected should see a message/notice in the “News You Can Use” section of the AT&T app.
Price increases across the industry
That being said, AT&T isn’t the only carrier to have raised its prices. It wasn’t too long ago that T-Mobile basically forced millions of its customers onto newer and more expensive plans. However, in AT&T’s case, the number of customers affected by these price increases shouldn’t be too many.
But if you are affected, there are plenty of other carriers that could be worth considering. Maybe they don’t have the exact plan you’re looking for. However, if price is your main concern, MVNOs usually offer up better rates.
