What the AT&T Installment Agreement Email Really Shows (and what it never shows)
This is a true, redacted example of the installment agreement email AT&T sends after an order is placed. These devices were ordered on MobileWiseGuy LLC’s business account.
That includes trade-in promotions, “$1.99/mo” phone deals, port-in credits, and other tiered offers. If you don’t see the promo in this email, that is normal.
In this example, the promotions I qualified for were port-in promotions and tiered promotions (offers based on the type of order and eligibility). Those promos were confirmed separately and later applied as bill credits on the account.
Why you never see promotions in these emails
The installment agreement email is a financing/terms document. It’s built to show the device’s full price, the financed amount, and the monthly installment. Promotional credits are handled elsewhere (they hit the bill as credits after activation and billing).
So when someone tells me, “Curtis, I don’t see the trade-in promotion,” my answer is simple: You will not see it here.
What this email WILL show
- Order number + the lines on the order
- Device model + full retail price
- Installment term (example: 36 months) + monthly installment amount
- Generic plan/feature line items (often coded and not “human-friendly”)
- The link to accept terms so the order can ship
What this email will NOT show
- Trade-in promotion credits
- “$1.99/mo” or other promotional device pricing
- Port-in credits
- Tiered promotions
- A clean summary of your final monthly bill
The difference when you order through me
If I tell you a promotion is eligible and I place the order, I own that outcome end-to-end. I verify eligibility before the order is submitted, and I follow up if anything doesn’t match what I confirmed.
That’s one of the best parts about working with me: you don’t have to guess where the credits are or whether the promo “took.”
My simple process
- You tell me: upgrade vs new line vs port-in + which promo you want.
- I check eligibility and confirm the offer.
- I place the order and you receive the installment agreement email.
- You accept the terms so the order can ship.
- I track the billing/credits and handle any inconsistencies.
Important: The AT&T email below says “PLEASE DO NOT REPLY.” That’s why you should always reply to me (not the automated AT&T message) if you have questions.

Bottom line
If you’re hunting for the promo in the installment email, you’re looking in the wrong place. The installment email is the terms + financing. Promotions show up later as credits on billing.

Best path: Use Curtism.com (not DMs). I’ll confirm eligibility and handle the order end-to-end.
AT&T Business Installment Agreement — FAQ
Do AT&T business agreements show promotions or trade-in credits?
No. These emails never include promotional offers, trade-in credits, BYOD bonuses, or free-device deals. They only confirm device financing and baseline features.
Why doesn’t the agreement show my plan name?
The installment agreement focuses on payment terms, not plans. For plan info and tiers (e.g., Advanced vs. Premium), see AT&T Business Custom Plans or your account portal.
Where can I verify that my promotions and credits are applied?
I verify them before activation and again on your first invoices. If you ordered with me, I confirm every credit and escalate missing items until they post.
What do codes like LLGUNLB or LLFA75B mean?
They are internal feature/plan codes. For example, LLGUNLB relates to a data feature on Unlimited Your Way; LLFA75B reflects a $75 line feature/charge. They are not the plain-English plan names you expect to see.
Is “Retail Installment Agreement” only for consumers?
No. AT&T uses that legal name for both consumer and business device financing. It doesn’t mean your account is consumer-grade.
How do you protect my business during ordering?
I act as your one point of contact. I review plan tiers, confirm pricing, track promotions, and resolve issues with AT&T so your bill matches what we approved. Contact me to set this up.
