AT&T Unlimited Starter SL: Who is it good for?

AT&T’s entry-level plan is called AT&T Unlimited Starter SL. This plan is suited for users who don’t tend to use their phone for streaming or heavy web browsing and are looking for an unlimited plan that doesn’t break the bank.

AT&T Unlimited Starter SL Plan Pricing

AT&T Unlimited Starter SL comes in on the pricier side of entry-level plans for a single line user compared to similar plans from Verizon and T-Mobile. However, if want to get the most data on a budget for multiple lines, the per-line price drops depending on how many lines you get. Keep in mind that taxes and fees are not included, which can add up to 10-12% to the advertised price. 

AT&T Unlimited Starter SL Data

AT&T Unlimited Starter SL offers deprioritized data, which can be slowed down when the network is busy. Often those slowdowns are imperceptible for all but the heaviest of users, making AT&T Unlimited Starter SL a solid choice for those who don’t need the fastest speeds but still want unlimited data. 

AT&T Unlimited Starter SL Add-Ons and Perks 

While some wireless carriers throw in or bundle perks at a discount as part of their wireless service plan pricing, AT&T does not currently offer many additional perks like streaming services or other subscriptions.

Pros and Cons of AT&T Unlimited Starter SL

Pros

• Unlimited deprioritized data at a competitive price
• Good price for a multi-line plan
• 5G and 4G LTE coverage on AT&T’s own network

Cons

• Not as competitive a price for users looking for a single-line plan
• Not suited for those who want high-speed data

Where It Fits the AT&T Unlimited Plan Lineup

Being an entry-level plan, AT&T Unlimited Starter SL is tailored for those who want unlimited data at a low cost and don’t need the premium data or mobile hotspot offered by AT&T Unlimited Premium PL and AT&T Unlimited Extra EL. It is similar to AT&T Value Plus VL with a key difference being that AT&T Unlimited Starter SL includes hotspot data while Value Plus VL does not.

If video streaming and high-speed data are important to you or you plan to use a lot of mobile hotspot data, you may want to consider a different AT&T unlimited data plan such as AT&T Unlimited Premium PL. The carrier's mid-level option, AT&T Unlimited Extra EL, is also a good pick for those who want premium data but don't need quite as much of it.
