AT&T adds $45 / month unlimited prepaid plan with 5G that you can only get at Walmart

AT&T has a new Unlimited Max prepaid plan with 5G, and it’s available at Walmart for $45 / month. The plan comes with unlimited 5G data, unlimited talk and text, 100GB of cloud storage, HD streaming, and 10GB of available data when using your phone as a mobile hot spot.

AT&T’s lowest-priced unlimited 5G plan available outside of Walmart (which doesn’t even come with HD streaming) will cost you $65 / month. While the Walmart-only Unlimited Max plan does allow for HD streaming, it streams in standard definition by default. You can stream in HD by turning off Stream Saver (a mode that plays video in 480p to save data) on AT&T’s prepaid site, or by calling 611. For comparison, several standard prepaid unlimited 5G plans, like Metro by T-Mobile’s $50 / month plan, Mint Mobile’s $40 / month plan (for three months), Cricket’s $55 / month plan, and Visible by Verizon’s $40 / month plan all don’t come with an option to stream in HD.

If activated at Walmart, AT&T's other pre-paid plans will be discounted. This includes its 15GB plan for $35 per month instead of $40, as well as its 5GB plan for $25 per month instead of $30. If the subsidy is applied, the 5GB plan will be free for customers who qualify for theACP.

The carrier is also offering discounted phones, including the Moto G Pure for $19, the A03s for $29, the A12 for $69, and the iPhone SE for $149. The discounted prices for the iPhone SE and iPhone 11 require customers to use the unlimited max plan in Walmart, while the rest of the discounts apply when customers use any monthly AT&T plan in Walmart.

AT&T has three 5G devices at Walmart, but they don't come with a discount.
