AT&T offers free HBO to Unlimited Plus users

AT&T is sweetening the deal for those on their Unlimited Plus data plan. You'll get free access to HBO, whether or not you subscribe to U-Verse or DirecTV.

This goes alongside other pre-existing perks, including a $25 per month credit for DirecTV, U-Verse TV, or DirecTV Now.

In case you aren't privy to the terms of this plan, AT&T offers unlimited data, talk and text, including 10GB of mobile hotspot data which is slowed to 128Kbps after you hit the cap (but otherwise unlimited, too). Of course, the unlimited plan itself comes with a certain limitation of speeds, with AT&T slowing you down after 22GB per line. Still, that's a lot of data for one line, and the ability to keep going without any added charges is better than exorbitant overage fees.


The plan comes in at $90 per month for 1 line, while 2 lines get it all for $145 per month, any additional lines adding another $20 to that. Knock off the chunks you get for AT&T's video savings and it turns out to be a pretty decent value. Be sure to explore the plan options right here.

All the major carriers offer similar unlimited plans these days, which means cell providers are going the extra mile to entice customers to use their service. The latest is AT&T, which announced today that it will be offering free HBO to customers on its top plan, the $90-a-month Unlimited Plus service.

Surprisingly, there aren't too many catches beyond that. The deal only applies to the Unlimited Plus plan, which allows users to stream in HD if they choose. Although, like most other plans, AT&T may slow your data after you burn through 22GB in a month.

AT&T is offering the free HBO in three ways: if you already pay for HBO through DirecTV, DirecTV Now, or U-verse, then AT&T will simply make that free. Similarly, DirecTV, DirecTV Now, and U-verse subscribers who also have Unlimited Plus plans will get access to HBO's channels automatically if they don't already have them, while customers who don't use any of AT&T's video services will be able to access HBO through either DirecTV Now or HBO Go.

It's worth noting that AT&T is currently in the process of acquiring Time Warner — which, among other things, is the parent company of HBO — although this newest offer is taking place before the deal has closed. AT&T also recently began to include free HBO service for subscribers to the most expensive channel tiers on DirecTV Now last month in a similar effort to attract customers to the video service.

The LG G6 is now available at Verizon Wireless

If you're not entirely sold on the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ — be it Samsung's Android UI, the curved display, or same old boring camera — the LG G6 might be for you. For those that didn't have it marked on their calendars, the LG G6 is now officially available at Verizon Wireless. It's a timed exclusive, one that gives Verizon a bit of a head start on AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint who wont be selling the phone until next Friday, April 7th (although some pre-orders have begun shipping early). In addition to LG's promotion which gives you a free Google Home with every purchase (you can redeem the offer here), Verizon is sweetening the pot by throwing in a free 43-inch smart TV when you sign up for a new line, device payment plan, and/or Verizon Unlimited. You'll have to redeem that particular offer using Verizon's promo site here. The LG G6 is carrying a full retail price of $672, or $28/month for 24 months if you put it on payments. Like the Gal...

How well does the LG G6 perform in a durability torture test? [VIDEO]

The LG G6 is the first LG flagship in years to feature a nearly all-glass build (remember the LG Optimus G?). There's only a very thin sheet of glass covering the back of the LG G6 and because of this, you may be wondering about the phone's durability. Since you would never want to test something like this on your own device, Zack from JerryRigEverything is back again without another one of his famous torture tests. He basically puts the LG G6 through hell, scratching and abusing the phone with a variety of tools before he gets to the real reason we're all here: the bend test. Surprisingly enough, the LG G6 passes with flying colors, providing no catastrophic failures or even much bending at all using with Zack using the full force of his hands. It's a testament to how far LG has come, showing that they're perfectly capable of manufacturing phones with solid build quality. For more on the LG G6, don't forget to check out our unboxing and ...
