Everyone that would be on this plan lives with me :( so it is one household. Two of us have Apple watches that we would like on the plan, and possibly in the future a hotspot or tablet for access to cloud based job quoting, invoicing etc. Three of us already have ATT phones and we would need to acquire a fourth. I would like to open a new plan for just my parents, sister and myself. My father has a personal phone, through Verizon, provided by his company, however he is taking over the company in a few weeks and the current owner is keeping his cell plan, so I need a place to add Dad to. This plan is owned by extended family and includes my mom, sister grandparents and an aunt (I realize this is not really kosher). To keep things simple I have an existing family plan with six cell phones and four or five other devices like watches, tablets, hotspots, etc. "We are encouraging our customers to explore our newer plans which offer many additional features, more flexibility for each line on their account and, in many cases, a lower monthly cost," according to the statement.Trying to shop plans from both Verizon and ATT.

Separately, AT&T announced that internet subscribers will see their monthly bill increase by $3, but only if they subscribe to standard broadband service.

I don't think anybody in the industry is insulated from that, and it's not a good position," CEO John Stankey said during April's second quarter earnings call. "There's no question that there's pressure across a broad segment of goods and services, and we're not insulated from that. While AT&T didn't expressly blame inflation in its statement, the company has acknowledged the impact of the 40-year high of 8.5% inflation on its business. AT&T cited higher business costs as a reason for increasing rates in a statement emailed to CNET. Monthly fees for non-Unlimited plans will increase up to $6 per month for single-line customers and up to $12 per month for family accounts, according to Bloomberg, which first reported the news. AT&T has announced price hikes for its older mobile plans and is encouraging subscribers to upgrade to the carrier's newer Unlimited plans.
