Business Preferred E Turnkey Plans for New AT&T Business Accounts
Business Preferred E can be a strong option when a business is opening a new AT&T wireless account with 11 or more smartphone lines. Pricing improves again at 50 or more smartphone lines, so line count, device strategy and switching credits should all be reviewed together.
Start With Line Count
Business Preferred E pricing changes once the account reaches 50 or more smartphone lines. That is why the first question should be how many smartphone lines the business is actually moving or adding.
Business Preferred E Smartphone Pricing
These are the basic monthly smartphone-plan prices by line count. Device payments, promotional credits, buyouts, taxes and fees are separate.
| Smartphone Lines | Standard | Advanced | Premium | Premium with Turbo | BYOD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11–49 smartphone lines | $30 per line | $35 per line | $40 per line | $55 per line | $15 per line |
| 50+ smartphone lines Lower monthly pricing | $25 per line | $30 per line | $35 per line | $50 per line | $15 per line |
Important: Pricing shown is before taxes and fees. Final eligibility, line count, equipment financing and promotional requirements must be confirmed before an order is submitted.
Business Preferred E acquisition offers generally require a minimum number of new smartphone lines. If the account does not meet the requirement, another AT&T Business plan may be a better fit.
Quick Plan Comparison

| Security | AT&T ActiveArmor Advanced | AT&T ActiveArmor Advanced | AT&T ActiveArmor Advanced | AT&T ActiveArmor Advanced | AT&T ActiveArmor Advanced |
Simple way to think about it:
Standard focuses on lower monthly cost.
Advanced is the middle option for many business users.
Premium adds more premium and international value.
Premium with Turbo is the highest-feature Preferred E option.
BYOD is designed for businesses bringing compatible smartphones.
Tablet Options
Tablet pricing should be reviewed separately from smartphone pricing so the final quote stays clear.
| Tablet Option | Monthly Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Tablet | $15 new lines | Existing-line pricing can differ. Includes applicable tablet data features for the qualifying plan. |
| Premium Tablet | $45 per line | Higher-tier tablet option with increased priority-data treatment. |
| Premium Tablet with Turbo | $55 per line | Premium tablet option with eligible Turbo treatment. |
Credits Are Separate From the Monthly Plan Price
The monthly rate is only one part of the final quote. Available credits depend on what type of order is being placed.
Available when eligible smartphone numbers are transferred to AT&T from another carrier and the order meets the promotional requirements.
Available when a qualifying business adds eligible new smartphone lines under the appropriate acquisition path.
Available when eligible existing lines and devices qualify for the current Business Preferred upgrade-credit path.
Why this needs to be checked before ordering:
A customer can be on the correct plan but still miss an available credit if the number-transfer status, device, installment structure or promotional path is handled incorrectly.
