- AT&T Level Up is a new unlimited plan that opens the door to postpaid service regardless of your credit status.
- The plan includes unlimited talk, text, and 30GB of high-speed data for $50.99 a month, with speeds slowed to 1.5Mbps after the data cap.
- By maintaining six months of on-time payments, you’ll qualify for postpaid service with 0% device financing.
I often recommend prepaid phone service for those who want to save money over traditional postpaid service, but it’s not for everyone. For starters, prepaid often requires a bit more hands-on troubleshooting by the user. It’s also typically more limited when it comes to device financing and promotional pricing. While you’ll usually pay more for postpaid service long-term than you would with prepaid (especially if you buy your phone outright), the appeal of 0% financing and the possibility of a free phone is often enough to attract those of us who can’t afford to drop close to $1000 on a phone all at once. Unfortunately, those with poor credit often don’t have the option of postpaid service, though AT&T’s new Unlimited Level Up program could be the solution.
