Unlimited Starter SL is no longer in AT&T's advertised consumer lineup. This update explains the change and compares the current Value 2.0 and Extra 2.0 plans.
Reviewed
AT&T's current public lineup lists Value 2.0 instead of Unlimited Starter SL. For new customers, Extra 2.0 is the better choice for most regular smartphone users because the extra $20 per month raises high-speed data from 5GB to 100GB and hotspot data from 3GB to 50GB; Value 2.0 makes sense mainly for a light-data user who will consistently stay near 5GB.

| Plan | Price | High-speed data | Hotspot | Network | Billing | Taxes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT&T Value 2.0 | $50 | 5GB | 3GB | AT&T | Monthly | Extra |
| AT&T Extra 2.0 | $70 | 100GB | 50GB | AT&T | Monthly | Extra |
Current plan
The $50 monthly plan includes 5GB of high-speed data, 3GB of hotspot use, and service in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Taxes are extra, and the 5GB high-speed allowance is unusually restrictive at this price even where AT&T coverage is strong.
Current plan
For $70 per month, it includes 100GB of high-speed data, 50GB of hotspot use, and service in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Taxes are extra, and this premium price is difficult to justify unless AT&T works especially well locally and the large allowances will be used.
Start with coverage where you use your phone most, then compare the complete bill, high-speed data, hotspot limits, prepayment, taxes, eligibility, and support. SaveOnPhone lists the full market, and payment never determines our recommendations.
