First TV, wireless services package from AT&T to go live on August 10

NEW DELHI: US wireless carrier AT&T will start offering the first-ever nationwide package of TV and wireless services – all from a single provider on one bill, with special discounts-- from August 10.

The offer includes HD and DVR service for up to four TV receivers, unlimited talk and text for four wireless lines, and 10GB of shareable wireless data – all for $200 per month.

"AT&T is the only single provider that can deliver nationwide TV and wireless services with one point of contact for customer care on a single monthly bill," the company said in a statement.

“We’re going to deliver more TV and entertainment choices to more screens – when and where our customers want it. And we’ll offer incredible value with more flexibility and convenience through our integrated packages that deliver a great experience.” said Brad Bentley, Executive Vice-President and Chief Marketing Officer, AT&T Entertainment and Internet Services.

As part of this launch on August 10, and for the first time nationwide, new DIRECTV subscribers will have immediate access to programming – on their mobile devices via a walk out and watch TV experience – at point of sale. They can view it on their mobile devices after leaving the store before TV service is installed. The walk out and watch feature will be delivered through the DIRECTV app and customers will have a limited time to activate their mobile TV service. AT&T sales representatives will assist customers to set up the app on their wireless device in the store.

AT&T is now selling DIRECTV in more than 2,000 AT&T retail stores nationwide – integration built around customer convenience and simplification.
