AT&T has come through for shoppers looking to upgrade their phones without breaking the bank. Starting today, customers can pre-order two major devices with deals that might actually make switching carriers or upgrading worthwhile. According to AT&T's official announcement, the iPhone 17e is available for $5.99 per month with any unlimited plan, representing more than 60% savings compared to capped data plans, and the carrier is rolling out impressive Galaxy S26 discounts that could land you a flagship phone for free.
Let's talk about what you're actually getting here. The iPhone 17e arrives with a 48MP camera, 4K video capability, and a bigger 6.1-inch screen. It's the more affordable option in Apple's lineup but doesn't skimp on the essentials. The phone starts at 256GB of storage, which is double what the previous generation offered at the same price. What's the catch? You need to be on an unlimited plan, and the monthly payments are spread over 36 months.
As reported by The Mobile Report, the Galaxy S26 promotion brings Samsung's latest flagship to AT&T customers with serious savings built in. The Galaxy S26 lineup features meaningful upgrades that make it worth considering if you're due for a refresh. The device brings new camera improvements and enhanced durability features, addressing what many users wanted from Samsung's flagship line.
Now for the fine print, because there's always fine print. These credits are distributed as monthly bill credits over 36 months, and if you cancel your service, the credits stop and you'll owe the full device balance. It's basically a three-year commitment to AT&T, so make sure you're comfortable with that before jumping in.
The sweet part is that AT&T is making these offers accessible to existing customers and new ones alike. Unlike some carrier promotions that require you to add a new line or switch to premium plans, AT&T is keeping the barrier to entry lower. General availability for the iPhone 17e starts March 11, and the Galaxy S26 series launches the same day. Pre-orders are happening now through AT&T's website, app, and stores.
If you've been sitting on an older phone waiting for a reason to upgrade, this is the moment. Both the iPhone 17e and Galaxy S26 represent solid value at their price points, and AT&T's deal structure means you're not overpaying for features you don't need. The real question is whether you want to stay with AT&T for the next three years—if the answer is yes, these deals are hard to beat.
