DALLAS, Nov. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* is
putting the pieces in motion to bring 5G service to tens of
millions of consumers and businesses this year, ahead of plans to
offer nationwide 5G in the first half of 2020. Following our recent
launch of AT&T Unlimited Extra and AT&T Unlimited Elite we
are adding access to 5G service in these plans and will begin
preorders for our first low-band 5G smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy
Note10+ 5G, on Nov. 25.
"When we introduced the U.S. to 5G last year, we started with a
business-first and experience-based strategy to lay the foundation
for innovation to come," said Thaddeus
Arroyo, CEO, AT&T Consumer. "We're now introducing
consumers to the future of wireless with broad 5G service included
in our best unlimited plans for 5G devices like the Samsung Galaxy
Note10+ 5G."
AT&T on Path to Nationwide 5G
Built on the
Nation's Best and also the Fastest Wireless
Network,1 we plan to offer nationwide 5G to
consumers and businesses in the first half of next year.
In the coming weeks, our 5G network will launch over low-band
spectrum in the Indianapolis,
Pittsburgh, Providence, R.I., Rochester, N.Y., and San Diego market areas. We also plan to launch
in several more markets, including Boston, Las
Vegas, Milwaukee,
New York City, San Francisco, Birmingham, Ala., Bridgeport, Conn., Buffalo, N.Y., Louisville, Ky., San
Jose, Calif. and others.
Check out our maps to see where we'll
offer service in these areas.2
Customers with a compatible 5G device will have confidence in
knowing they will still be able to connect to the Nation's Best and
also the Fastest Wireless Network if they travel outside our
available 5G coverage area.
In addition to our launch of 5G service over low-band spectrum,
we continue to offer even faster and higher performing 5G+ over
mmWave spectrum to businesses today in parts of 21
cities.3 We plan to reach parts of 30 cities with 5G+ in
early 2020.
