My experience with AT&T is that even though the cost may be listed as $45 per line for multi-line (and notably $75 for Signature single line), that after taxes and fees it comes out to $90 for a single line on signature. Came out to an additional $15 per line back when I was paying for multi line, too.

These days I go with post-tax/fee calculated provider costs (in my case, Visible (Verizon) at $45 for deprioritized service). So I guess some qualifying customers like yourself can manage that…

Maybe price discrimination, but only applies after fees?

I was mistaken about the price for ATT. Looks like the pre tax prices are drastically higher for fewer lines than mine.

1 line is $85 per line

2 lines is $75 per line

3 lines is $60 per line

4 lines is $50 per line

5 lines is $45 per line

and after that, you have to open a new ATT account and start at 1 line.

So I can see paying near $100 for an individual ATT line. It actually looks like Verizon is cheaper now? You can get 1 line for $65 per month plus tax for 3 years if you switch to Verizon (I cannot tell what the price is if you are already on Verizon).
