Helpful budgeting tips for students and teachers
Oftentimes, students are eager to have the latest and greatest devices but can be limited by their budgets. Installment plans for smartphones enable students to have the latest devices, including iPhones, without breaking the bank.
What is a device installment plan?
A device installment plan allows you to split the cost of a new device across a set period of time, so your monthly payments are predictable.
In addition to signing up for a device installment plan, you may be interested in AT&T Next Up Anytime, which is our phone upgrade program designed and geared towards those looking for the flexibility to upgrade their phone sooner rather than later.
Learn more about early upgrade options with AT&T.
How can I get a free cell phone?
If you already have an eligible wireless plan or are interested in signing up for one, and you have a smartphone to trade in, you may be eligible to get a new iPhone 17 Pro on us with eligible trade-in.

Additional recommendations
For students and teachers looking to get connected, first, identify your needs and preferences.
Will you be joining a family plan or do you want to get off your parents’ phone plan? Are you someone who values having the latest devices? Does your college or university provide free internet?
Once you answer these questions and decide which plans and devices fit your needs, check out the available deals for students and teachers to see which offers will save you the most.
Oftentimes, being part of a family plan for wireless service makes the most sense. At AT&T, adding a new line for a smartphone can cost as low as $30 per month per line, depending on the plan and features you select. You can also add a new line for a smartwatch for a small monthly fee.
Alternatively, if you’re a student or teacher on your own wireless plan, you should check out the student and teacher discounts for wireless service available through AT&T’s Signature and Appreciation programs.
College students sometimes have access to free internet service, depending on your school and living arrangements. If your internet service is not provided by your school, where available, AT&T has a variety of options to keep you connected, ranging from AT&T Fiber to AT&T Internet Air, which is our wireless broadband offering.

And if you’re looking for both wireless and internet service, we offer great bundle offers where you can save every month off one eligible service when you bundle internet service with unlimited wireless.
AT&T may temporarily slow data speeds if the network is busy.
