AT&T Prepaid is the logical new name of the carrier's service previously known as GoPhone, with new lines eligible for two free months (of the first 12).

The same day that Verizon chucked new plans into its prepaid offerings, AT&T has beefed up its existing ones. These improvements go beyond the publicized supplemental high-speed data capsules, though. They hit at the base.
Those on $45 and $60 monthly plans, which currently have 3GB and 6GB of high-speed data, will have their caps raised to 4GB and 8GB, respectively. Current customers do not need to do anything as the change takes place on their next usage cycle beyond Friday.
For your information, customers old or new should take note that if you enroll in AutoPay, you get $5 off each month.
Two phones will also go on sale from Friday through December 31: the LG Phoenix 2 will be $20 off at $49.99 while those activating new lines can get a ZTE Maven 2 for free, though they have to pay $30 toward their service at time of purchase.

No cellular data? No more Verizon prepaid service, as Big Red chooses to strike back at AT&T’s recent GoPhone plan add-on improvements in unusual fashion, pulling the plug on entry-level smartphone and basic phone options.
While existing users shouldn’t be impacted by the controversial changes, new VZW prepaid account signers can no longer opt for unlimited talk and text, plus Wi-Fi-only internet access, at $30 a month.
Instead, you’ll have to either cough up $45 every 30 days, and get a 2GB high-speed allotment, as well as always-on data, or pay an extra 15 bucks for a grand total of 5GB LTE web surfing. Both smartphone plans of course include unlimited US talk and text, unrestricted Mexico and Canada messaging, plus mobile hotspot support, while $60 also hooks you up with unlimited voice communication to America’s southern and northern neighbors.
If for whatever reason you’re still thinking of activating a dumb phone on Verizon prepaid, the lone monthly basic plan standing sets you back $30, unlimited talk, text, mobile web and all. Previously, you could elect to cut your bill in half, settling for just 300 talk and text units.
At the end of the day, AT&T’s revised GoPhone pricing structure is a little lower, but Verizon’s prepaid device roster ranges from new iPhones to Pixels, Galaxy S7 Edge, Note 5, Moto Z Play, HTC Desires, and the Moto G4 Play.

Sprint has Virgin and Boost Mobile, T-Mobile’s MetroPCS daughter operator continues to contribute to impressive quarterly reports, Verizon’s prepaid department is also on the rise in terms of both plans and supported phones, whereas AT&T keeps strengthening Cricket’s device portfolio while improving GoPhone options and lowering prices.
Ma Bell’s latest batch of prepaid discounts looks permanent too, allowing GoPhone customers to add 3GB data to $60 monthly plans for an extra $20 if a 1 gig supplement at 10 bucks isn’t enough or feels a little steep.
Technically, this top-of-the-line no-annual-contract option includes unlimited everything, but only your first 6 gigs of data are accessible at “high speed”, after which you need to make do with a max velocity of 128Kbps. Or pay up to extend your 4G LTE allotment, available for one plan term rollover.
Meanwhile, the $45 “unlimited” monthly AT&T GoPhone plan will continue to drop speeds after 3GB consumption, unless you sign up for a $10 add-on good for 1 more gig of data, up from 500MB before.
Then you have the $30 plan, which still comes without any sort of data allocation, letting you however buy 250MB instead of 100 for $5. Finally, $2 a day covers unlimited nationwide talk and text, with 100MB data packages setting you back an additional $1.

Smartphones have come a long way. This year especially, we’ve seen some terrific technology slide from the premium end of the market down to the mid-tier level. Several phones around the $400 price point used high end processors and included premium features like speakers and nice cameras.Looking at the mid-range, have the same improvements shifted down to entry level devices? To test this idea we spent a couple days running an LG Phoenix 2. This gadget sports very basic specs, like a Qualcomm 210 chipset and 1.5GB of RAM, with a 720p resolution display, 16GB of storage, and an 8MP ...
