Looks like It’s official Directv Buying Dish

That $15 per month price with Mint is just for 3 months. It goes up to $25 per month after that.

I use the AT&T prepaid plan for $25 per month. It says Unlimited data but it is then say “After 16GB, speeds slowed to max 1.5Mbps for the month.” so basically it is 16 GB per month with a monthly rollover of 16 GB allowed. I don’t use much data so I usually have about 32 GB available every month. And of course it is prepaid so you pay $300 up front for 12 months.. works for my needs.

My wife tried Mint for a short time but we live in a rural area in Illinois and she had issues with dead spots in our area so we both use the AT&T prepaid plan.
is that the ATT plan where you pay up for a year and it's like 300-400 bucks a one time deal for the year? and it's done all online.

I use Tello, unlimited talk and text plus 2Gb of 5G data (I very seldom use data) for $10 a month (after the govt adds on it's fees it comes to $12.28 all in). Tello runs on the T-Mobile network. If you don't need much data you can't beat it. I have an Ooma for the home phone. The wife can't handle a cellphone anymore so her friends call on the house line. It was sheer joy the day I called Verizon and kicked them to the curb.

I saw where (mint) if you did the 3 mo. for $15 it then goes up, but...if you pay 12 mo. it works out to stay $15. I paid $180 for a year and afaik I can re-sub the same when that is up. I remember when you could pay per year on DiSH for savings but then they 86'd it because crooks were buying and activating a year's service for victims and telling them it's lifetime service, and by time the year was up they'd be gone.
This article says the $25/month plan applies to a single line:



If this is the case then they have a very bad website as far as for prospecting. I would have called a ph# or even chatted but there were neither. I'll believe it when see a screenshot

ok that's what i thought. looking to take some people off my acct and put them on there own acct and that's what i was thinking of doing. though i don't think they would like it if there data slowed down!!!
It doesn't slow down until you have used up 16 GB which is quite a bit but yeah some do you use that and much more.

If I go through the checkout process up to the point of "Join Now" it shows that one line is $25. And 50% off of that for the first month.

I don't think Amazon does discount bundles. It appears that their add-on streaming products are offered at MSRP.

IIRC, Amazon currently offers Earthlink at MSRP.
Amazon does offer discounts on the streaming add-ons from time to time. There will be plenty of offers during their Black Friday sales.
Amazon has many sales during the year also, for example, a few months ago, AMC+ commercial free at $2.99 per month for 3 month, signed up, canceled after I had caught up on the very few series I watch on there.
