AT&T Business: Plans, Coverage & Deals
About AT&T Business
AT&T Business is a division of AT&T that offers cell phone plans and services geared for small and medium size businesses, large enterprises, and organizations within the public sector.
Business cell phone plans typically include additional features and benefits over the regular consumer plans, such as more priority data, extra hotspot data, and special discounts.
You need to have a qualifying business or be part of a qualifying organization to sign up for a plan from AT&T Business.
Because AT&T Business runs on AT&T's own network, the coverage matches the main carrier, and consumers who want that same coverage at lower prices can look at MVNOs like US Mobile, Boost Mobile, Consumer Cellular, Red Pocket, and Pure Talk, or AT&T's own prepaid brand Cricket Wireless.

AT&T Business Frequently Asked Questions
What is AT&T Business?
AT&T Business is the division of AT&T that sells wireless plans to companies and organizations rather than individual consumers. Its plans add business-grade features such as extra priority data, larger hotspot allowances, and bulk-line discounts, and they require a qualifying business or organization to enroll.
Who owns AT&T Business?
AT&T Business is owned and operated by AT&T Inc., the publicly traded telecommunications company headquartered in Dallas, Texas. It is a division of AT&T, not an independent carrier, so it runs on AT&T's own network and infrastructure.
When was AT&T Business founded?
AT&T traces its roots to 1885, when the American Telephone and Telegraph Company was incorporated. The modern AT&T Inc. took its current form in 2005, when SBC Communications acquired AT&T Corp. and adopted the AT&T name. AT&T Business operates as a division of that company rather than as a separately founded entity.
What network does AT&T Business use for coverage?
AT&T Business uses AT&T's own nationwide network, the same 4G LTE and 5G infrastructure that serves AT&T's consumer customers. As a division of AT&T rather than a third-party carrier, it owns and operates the towers and spectrum directly.
Does AT&T Business have good coverage?
AT&T Business inherits AT&T's network footprint, which is one of the three largest in the country and strong across most metro areas and major highways. Coverage quality still depends on your specific location, so check the AT&T coverage map for the areas where your business operates. Rural pockets can be weaker than in dense urban markets.

The AT&T Business Unlimited Premium 2.0 with Turbo plan includes 7 International Day Pass days at no extra charge.
Does AT&T Business support hotspot devices?
