The best AT&T phone deals for December 2024: iPhone 16, Pixel 9, and more
AT&T's Black Friday specials are now live
We've rounded up all of this week's best AT&T deals into one handy page right here for our readers looking to save some hard-earned cash at the carrier. Regardless of whether you're on the hunt for a new Apple flagship or a cheap Android device, we've included options for all users with our recommendations.
AT&T deals are especially good if you're adding new lines, trading in, or switching carriers. With these offers, you can often save hundreds of dollars of the retail price of a new phone, and sometimes you can even get the phone for free. AT&T might not have quite the coverage Verizon does, but with these discounts and the generally cheaper pricing of its plans, your savings can start to add up.
Generally, AT&T deals entail purchasing the phone on an instalment plan and getting a data plan at a specific level (like AT&T's Unlimited Starter plan), then AT&T will give you monthly rebates toward the value of the phone. So, to get the maximum value from these deals, you'll want to be ready to stick with AT&T for the long haul - 36 months in fact, at which point you'll have received the full discount.
So, keep those details in mind as we guide you through all the best AT&T phone deals. We'll help you find the best savings on iPhones, Android phones, 5G phones, and even some accessories to go alongside them.

AT&T Black Friday specials
New line and phone purchase: get $200 bill credits at AT&T
AT&T's headline Black Friday deal, in my opinion, is this $200-off plan deal. It's available on basically all devices right now and will get you a nice little monthly discount on your plan if you pick up a device alongside a new line on an unlimited data plan. Considering this stacks with the various other trade-in deals and so on, it's a very nice bonus that should be applicable to a lot of customers this Black Friday.
iPhone 16 series: get an iPad and an Apple Watch for $0.99 each with eligible phone purchase
AT&T is throwing in a 10th gen iPad 10.9 and Apple Watch SE for just $1 per month each right now with eligible iPhone 16 devices. This Black Friday special stacks with the already-excellent existing deals on the iPhone 16 series that include massive trade-in rebates of up to $1,000 off. Overall, this is a superb bonus promotion but note that you do need to pay extra for the accessory cellular lines to claim this, so even if the devices are cheap you're still paying for a plan!
AT&T fiber internet: get a $100 gift cart at AT&T
I don't usually feature internet deals on this page but AT&T's Black Friday special on its excellent fiber internet packages is well worth shouting about. Right now, all new customers will get a $100 gift card at the carrier, which is a nice little bonus if you were thinking about switching up your current line with something speedier.
AT&T iPhone deals
Apple iPhone 16 series: up to $1,000 off with a trade-in at AT&T
The latest iPhone 16 series is finally here and AT&T's opening deals are offering exceptional trade-in rebates across the board. Not only is the standard iPhone 16 available for free with an eligible trade-in with an unlimited plan, but the rebates reach all the way up to $1,000 off on the Pro devices, which is one of the better rebates on the market right now. You can also see this deal on the iPhone 16 Plus, the iPhone 16 Pro, or the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Apple iPhone 15 series: from $5.99/mo with a plan at AT&T
Not looking to line up a trade-in rebate? One of the best AT&T deals available right now is on the slightly older (but still great) iPhone 15. This flagship device is available for just $6 per month right now alongside an unlimited plan with no trades needed. If you're interested in a more premium device, then you'll also find similar discounts on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max right now while stocks last. These Pro devices are officially discontinued now so don't hesitate to pick them up if you're interested!
Apple iPhone SE (2022): $1.99/mo with an unlimited plan at AT&T
Price drop: Quite possibly the best AT&T deal for iPhone fans on a budget - right now you can get the latest iPhone SE for just $2 per month alongside an unlimited data plan at the carrier. This is the cheapest this device has ever been at the carrier - with the iPhone SE 2022 previously listed at $5 per month. While it's not free, this particular promotion will get you the device for well under $100 over the duration of a 36-month plan.

AT&T Android deals
Google Pixel 9: $10.99/mo with an unlimited plan at AT&T
Trade-in rebates on the most recent devices are usually commonplace with AT&T deals but the carrier has opted for a different approach with the latest Google Pixel 9. Right now, no trades are needed to get this device for just $11 per month on an unlimited plan, which is easily one of the strongest promotions for those who want a powerful device but don't have anything of value ready to hand over.
Google Pixel 9 Pro XL: free with a trade-in and unlimited plan at AT&T
Probably the strongest trade-in AT&T deal of them all is the carrier's current promo on the Pixel 9 Pro XL. Despite its hefty upfront cost, the carrier is willing to let this one go for free with a trade-in of any Pixel device of any year. While you'll still need an unlimited plan, this is an exceptionally generous offer considering you also get the free storage upgrade as a preorder bonus.

Samsung Galaxy S24: $10.99/mo with an unlimited data plan
No trade-in needed: AT&T's most recent deal on the excellent Galaxy S24 throws away the usual trade-in criteria completely in favor of a simple monthly discount. All you'll need to get this deal here is a line on an unlimited data plan and boom - you're entitled to a hefty half-price deal on one of the latest Android flagships over the duration of a 36-month plan.
Samsung Galaxy S24 FE: $5.99/mo with an unlimited data plan
If you like the look of AT&T's deal on the standard Galaxy S24 but are put off by the price tag, consider this deal on the Galaxy S24 FE instead. This new mid-range device is available for almost half the price and still features a really great chipset, display, and all the latest AI software features that the brand is really pushing right now. This is a really new device so this week's AT&T deal is extremely strong.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra & Plus: up to $1,000 off with a trade-in
The latest Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and Plus are a superb choice right now if you're looking for a powerful Android device - not least because this week's AT&T deals are offering massive trade-in rebates of up to $1,000. These rebates are a match for the best we've ever seen from the carrier so it's well worth checking this week's deal out. If you're not looking for a trade, then we've recommend the standard Galaxy S24's current discount (see above).
Motorola moto g stylus 5G: $0.99/mo with an unlimited data plan
This week's AT&T deal on the Motorola Moto G Stylus is as close to a 'free phone' as you'll get at the carrier. At $1/mo, you'll be paying just $36 for this handset here, which features a 6.7-inch pOLED, 50MP camera, and a nifty little stylus. Is it a high-end device? Nope, but this isn't a bad deal if you don't care about getting a big-brand device and just want to save some cash.

AT&T prepaid phone deals
Motorola moto g 5G: was $179.99 now $44.99 at AT&T
Moto devices are always a good buy if you're looking for a budget Android device - especially when they're as heavily discounted at this moto g at AT&T. This 5G compatible device is ready for the speediest data possible at the carrier and features a 48MP camera, 120HZ display, and 5,000mAh battery - all very impressive specs for a device at this price point.
Apple iPhone 12: lease to pay with initial payment starting at $50
Leasing is a relatively new addition to AT&T's lineup of prepaid phone deals. It could be a good option for you if you're looking to buy a device outright but don't want to spend a ton of cash upfront. Right now, the iPhone 12 is $600 at AT&T but you can space those payments out accordingly if you pick one up alongside a prepaid plan.

Plan deals and discounts
AT&T Unlimited data plan: from $35/month/line with you add four lines

Teachers, healthcare workers, military personnel, veterans, and first responders can save an additional $8 per line with AT&T's special discounts.
