AT&T is the second largest carrier in the US, behind Verizon. A lot of its growth dates back to the iPhone exclusivity it had until the iPhone 4. And many have just stuck with AT&T since then. AT&T has a lot of Android phones, actually they have more than every other US carrier does right now, which is rather surprising.
That makes choosing the best AT&T phone for you, a bit tougher. So we’re here to help you pick up the best phone for you. If you need help with their plans, we’ve listed their best plans here.
