Quick heads-up: 2-Year Contracts cost more on Unlimited Your Way
- Choosing a 2-year contract adds $25/month to your plan price on Unlimited Your Way.
- For iPhone 16e 128GB at $0.99 on a 2-year contract, you’ll pay:
— $25 × 24 months = $600 extra on the plan
— plus $0.99 for the phone
= $600.99 total over 24 months (before taxes/fees). - Promo installments (e.g., $1.99/mo) do not raise your plan price—you just pay the low monthly device amount.

How Business Phone Promotions Work
Ads often show low monthly payments without full explanations. Here’s how it works for the iPhone 16e 128GB, priced at $599.99 retail, $0.99 upfront with a 2-year contract, or $1.99/month on a 36-month promotional installment plan.
Option 2: Monthly Installments
- The retail price is split: $599.99 over 36 months = $16.66/month.
- Your plan price doesn’t increase – phone payments are separate.
- Choose 24, 30, or 36 month payment options.
How Promotions Work
- AT&T applies bill credits to lower your monthly device payments.
- For example: iPhone 16e 128GB at $1.99/month for 36 months (after $14.67 in credits).
- On a 24-month payment plan, device payments are $2.99/month after credits.
- Check promo credit terms carefully to avoid surprises.
