AT&T Unlimited Plus Data Plan Now Includes Free HBO Subscription

Where do you go to check this? Can't find it anywhere and don't see the discount for having unlimited plus or for the HBO?

I saw this in the myATT app. When I looked at my DIRECTV service details, I saw the service and the discount as details towards my monthly bill.

I switched from AT&T to T-Mobile when the $100 for 2 line One plan was announced. It trounced anything AT&T offered on every feature. Now that they've offered the "Plus" plan the features are more in line, but AT&T's plan is still $45 per month more than T-Mobile's.

I'm probably missing something, but free HBO just doesn't seem worth it.

I don't think you are... if T-Mobile service covers you everywhere you need to be... then you can take that 45 dollar savings, drop 15 of it on HBO Now, and still sit 30 bucks ahead. T-Mobile really is a great value. AT&T is becoming one as well, but through vertical integration... both have benefits.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was thinking this. Granted my fiancée and I love the original content and movies on HBO, but not so much that I would switch back to AT&T after I ported over to T-Mobile a couple months ago. We'll stick with the "free" HBO we're getting for a year through Xfinity (we primarily just utilize the HBO Go app on our ATV's).

If you're a baseball fan, then I feel the free year of MLB.TV Premium is definitely a steal.

I am jealous of the MLB.TV package T-Mobile gave it's people for sure...I know Verizon has the NFL locked up but sports would have been a more equivalent offering from AT&T to compete with T-Mobile, not HBO. People watch sports on the go all the time anyway and love of sports is practically universal in America...how many times do you see people waiting in a line watching Game of Thrones or whatever the heck HBO even shows (I used to think they were the Sopranos 24-7 network) on a 4" screen?

And it's apathy like that allows Walmart to exist.

As much as I hate shopping at Walmart, they employ millions of Americans.

How do I access Direct TV Now for the free HBO go? I created an account but it doesn't say I have access.

After talking to 5 reps, they finally told me how to sign up. Go to this link: https://www.directvnow.com/accounts/create-account

At the top, click verify number, and then you can sign up for HBO only.

Just signed up for this.

I currently have DirecTV at home without HBO.

My questions,

Will I get HBO through DirecTV or only HBO GO/NOW?

Does watching HBO count against your data?
Everything on the DirecTV iPhone app currently doesn't, correct?

Thanks.
