AT&T says its new amiGO Jr. smartphone - which it claims is the first smartphone designed for kids - and second-generation amiGO Jr. Watch 2 aim to keep children safe and connected to their parents and guardians. The amiGO Jr. was created in collaboration with Samsung. It enables parents to manage screen time, apps and settings from their own iOS or Android phone. It features location sharing, "safe zones," and scheduling to control use during school hours.

The telecom giant said Monday it plans to move its global headquarters to a newly constructed corporate campus in Plano, Texas, starting in 2028. The new global headquarters would consolidate three existing locations in the Dallas area, including the downtown skyscraper that has been AT&T's home since 2008. A spokesperson told Business Insider that the new facilities will be designed for "collaboration, innovation, and engagement," and that the company still believes the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area is a good location for business.

A few years ago, the head of business operations launched a startup, now operating as Cricket Wireless, a subsidiary of AT&T. Cricket Wireless is now worth over $6 billion and has more than 13 million customers, a spokesperson for AT&T said. During that process, she had the opportunity to build her dream team - and her goal was to find employees who were willing to think big. Through trial and error, Van Buskirk discovered two interview questions that she still uses to help her identify the right candidates.

There's hardly ever such a thing as truly free money. We pay for everything, in some way: with labor, with time, with suffering. So getting a payment from a tech or social media settlement isn't exactly free - it's likely the company messed up in some way and it legitimately owes you that cash - but it certainly can feel like getting free money. And if you're already using the tech or platform, then you might as well get paid for the issue.

You may have caught the commercial by now, where AT&T uses Luke Wilson to talk about T-Mobile as a "master of breaking promises."

Now AT&T is fighting for the right to keep its campaign up.

When it comes to picking dividend stocks, you not only want a firm that can support a generous payout, but one that can grow it at a fairly predictable rate over extended periods of time. Indeed, when thinking about dividend stocks with a long-term horizon in mind, I think it makes more sense to focus on the growth profile and the shareholder-return policy than just how large the upfront yield is.

AT&T is raising prices by $5 a month on all AT&T Internet plans, the company confirms to The Verge.

Amazon's advertising unit on Wednesday introduced its roster of presenting sponsors for the opening season of Prime Video's NBA coverage, a clutch of top-tier sports spenders that includes the likes of AT&T, Mercedes-Benz and State Farm. As part of a series of signings that will help defray Amazon's annual $1.8 billion rights payment to the NBA, the online retailer/streamer has landed AT&T as the title sponsor of its new halftime show ( The Half).

Apple just unveiled the new iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max , and if you're interested in upgrading, plenty of mobile carriers like Verizon, T-Mobile, and more have deals for you. And if you're an AT&T user, new and existing customers can get up to $1,100 off any of the latest phones (the equivalent of a free iPhone 17 Pro) with an eligible iPhone trade-in, in any condition. The new iPhones will be available to preorder at most major carriers on Friday, and can be purchased in stores starting Sept. 19. AT&T preorders can be made through , the myAT&T app, and AT&T retail stores.

This morning, AT&T and EchoStar announced "a definitive agreement" that will see AT&T purchase wireless spectrum licenses from EchoStar. The deal will see AT&T pay EchoStar $23 billion in cash.

That spectrum haul includes approximately 30 MHz of nationwide 3.45 GHz mid-band spectrum and approximately 20 MHz of nationwide 600 MHz low-band spectrum, according to AT&T.
