AT&T Mobile Select Pooled Data Plans & Pricing
Understand how Mobile Select shared-data plans work, compare monthly rates, and learn what to check before changing an existing AT&T Business account.
Unlike an unlimited smartphone plan, Mobile Select combines the data allowances contributed by eligible lines into one shared pool.
Updated November 1, 2026. Published plan pricing is shown for reference. Current activation eligibility and account discounts must be confirmed before ordering.
How Mobile Select Shared Data Works
Each eligible line contributes a specified amount of monthly data to the pool. Lines sharing that pool can use the combined available data.
In this example, the two eligible smartphones share 13GB in the billing cycle. One employee can use more than their own contribution as long as the shared pool has available data.
If the combined allowance is exceeded, additional usage charges may apply. Businesses should evaluate actual data use and potential overage exposure.
When Mobile Select May Be Worth Keeping
Predictable Data Consumption
Employees who primarily use calls, texts, email, maps and basic business applications may have modest monthly data requirements.
One Shared Pool
Employees with low usage can help balance employees consuming more data, provided total pool usage stays within the allowance.
Eligible Connected Devices
Certain tablets, laptops, mobile hotspots and other qualified data-only devices may participate in the appropriate pool.
Account-Specific Discounts
Some business customers have negotiated Foundation Account or contract discounts that may make their existing pooled plans worth evaluating before switching.
Before moving employees from Mobile Select to an unlimited plan, compare the current invoice, eligible discounts, pool usage, potential overages and equipment terms. A newer plan is not automatically a better financial choice for every account.

Smartphone Plans
| Data Added to Pool | Installment / Full Price / BYOD | With Service Commitment |
|---|---|---|
| 1GB | $35/mo. | $60/mo. |
| 3GB | $45/mo. | $70/mo. |
| 5GB | $55/mo. | $80/mo. |
| 7GB | $65/mo. | $90/mo. |
| 10GB | $80/mo. | $105/mo. |
Data-Only Device Plans
| Data Added to Pool | Monthly Charge |
|---|---|
| 100MB | $10/mo. |
| 1GB | $20/mo. |
| 3GB | $40/mo. |
| 5GB | $50/mo. |
| 7GB | $60/mo. |
| 10GB | $75/mo. |
Feature Phones, Connected Devices & Wearables
| Device Type | Monthly Rate | Pool Contribution |
|---|---|---|
| Feature Phone | $35 | 100MB |
| Connected Device | $5 | No data contribution |
| Wearable | $10 | No data contribution |
These lines do not add their own monthly data allowance but may use remaining eligible pooled data under the applicable plan rules.
Why a Smartphone Plan Can Cost $25 More
Mobile Select has different monthly charges depending on how equipment is acquired. An eligible smartphone purchased on installments, at full price, brought to AT&T, or kept month-to-month uses the lower published price structure.
The difference is $25 per smartphone line, per month, across the five published smartphone data tiers.
Before changing a plan, verify the existing equipment agreement, credits, service commitment and any early termination obligations. A plan change may affect existing discounts or promotional eligibility.
Which Devices Can Use Mobile Select?
Smartphones
Eligible plans contribute 1GB, 3GB, 5GB, 7GB or 10GB to the shared pool. Unlimited domestic talk and text are included under the plan terms.
Data-Only Devices
Eligible tablets, laptops, aircards, netbooks and compatible mobile hotspot devices can contribute a qualifying 100MB–10GB allowance.
Feature Phones
Eligible basic phones contribute 100MB of pooled data and include the applicable domestic calling and messaging features.
Wearables and Connected Equipment
Qualifying $5 connected-device and $10 wearable plans do not add their own data allowance.
Do not assume that a mobile router or business networking device qualifies for a Mobile Select data-only plan. Certain routers and Wireless WAN equipment require a different AT&T Business data plan.
Compare Wireless Broadband options before ordering.
Foundation Account & Contract Discounts
Some AT&T Business customers have Foundation Account, negotiated or contract-specific discounts that may reduce eligible Mobile Select monthly service charges.
The actual rate can depend on the business agreement, plan eligibility, device type and how the equipment was purchased.
Check the current monthly rate, business discounts, data usage, pool overages and contract terms. The published prices may not represent the customer's actual discounted rate.
Mobile Select vs. Unlimited Your Way 3.0
Mobile Select
Eligible lines contribute fixed data allowances to a shared pool. Total usage must be monitored to manage potential overages.
May suit predictable usage and certain existing discounted accounts.
Unlimited Your Way 3.0
Smartphone plans offer unlimited data with different hotspot allowances, network features and international benefits.
Often worth reviewing when employees have growing data requirements.
Compare the actual current bill, eligible discounts, data overages, equipment installments and employee requirements. A plan review should establish whether a change creates real savings or better functionality.
