Taking advantage of the recently approved merger between the two companies, AT&T Wireless has issued an attractive offer to subscribers of DirecTV and AT&T U-verse. If DirecTV subscribers switch their mobile service to AT&T from companies like Verizon and Sprint, new customers will receive a $300 credit on their bill for each line that’s switched over. In addition, customers will receive a $200 credit after purchasing a new smartphone utilizing the AT&T Next plan, basically covering the typical cost of a new smartphone under contract.

Describing the promotion in a statement, AT&T Mobility Chief Marketing Officer David Christopher said “This is a unique offer and unlike anything we’ve ever done – all to celebrate DIRECTV now being part of the AT&T family. This is another way we’re making it better when you choose TV and wireless from AT&T.”

Hypothetically, a family of four would receive $1,200 in bill credit for switching four lines over to AT&T as well as an additional $800 in credit if all members decided to get new smartphones and trade in their old phones. That could be very advantageous for any family that’s looking to save a bit of money on wireless service. The deal isn’t currently limited to a single household and is available to both consumers and business users.

On top of that promotion, AT&T Wireless customers can now combine their DirecTV or AT&T U-verse accounts into a single bill. Linking the accounts onto one bill will add an additional $10 discount each month, a savings of $120 over an entire year. Beyond that, AT&T and DirecTV is also offering an “All in One Plan” that gives consumers “HD and DVR service for four TV receivers, unlimited talk and text for four smartphone lines with 10GB of shareable data” for an introductory price of $200 for the first twelve months.

With a rebrand imminent, AT&T is hoping you forget what DirecTV Now was

Just in case AT&T's ever-growing slate of streaming platforms isn't enough to leave you baffled, the company recently announced that it'll be changing the name of its live TV streaming service, DirecTV Now, to AT&T TV Now sometime next month.

Somehow, AT&T TV Now is different from the live TV streaming service that AT&T announced last week, which is called AT&T TV. The two services aren't entirely separate, however. Over the next few weeks, AT&T will launch a new app, also called AT&T TV, that will support both AT&T TV and AT&T TV Now subscriptions. Which service you're using will be determined by your login credentials, AT&T says.

AT&T will launch yet another streaming service, and we’re utterly confused
AT&T

AT&T, which already runs two streaming services, DirecTV Now and Watch TV, and is readying a third -- HBO Max -- for launch, has now revealed plans to debut a fourth streaming service called AT&T TV. The announcement was made during the company's second-quarter earnings call with analysts.

Details around the new subscription service remain vague, but it looks like AT&T TV will be some kind of over-the-top (OTT) live TV product that will mimic cable and satellite, yet be much simpler to install and use. It will use an Android TV box, according to a report by CNET, which means customers may be able to install it themselves as they would an Apple TV or Roku device. Content and pricing are unknown, but AT&T plans to begin trialing the service in select areas starting as early as this summer, before rolling it out more widely through the remainder of the year.

The Honor Magic 6 RSR is my new favorite Android phone of 2024
Someone holding the Honor Magic 6 RSR outside.

There's no doubt that 2024 has already been an exciting year for Android phones. Samsung wowed us with the Galaxy S24 series at the beginning of the year, the OnePlus 12 and 12R are two of the best phones available right now, and Google is expected to impress later this month with the Google Pixel 8a.

But for the last few weeks, I haven't been thinking about any of those phones. Why? Because I've been using the Honor Magic 6 RSR. After launching in China this past March, the Magic 6 RSR is now available in the EU, and that's allowed more folks than ever to get their hands on the phone. And that's great, because the Honor Magic 6 RSR has quickly become my new favorite Android phone of 2024.
