AT&T, one of the leading telecommunications companies, charges a one-time activation fee for new plans and upgraded devices. This fee is typically $35 per line.

This activation fee applies whether you’re starting a new line of service or upgrading your device. However, there are some exceptions. If you have an eligible employee discount through your employer that includes a waiver, the activation fee can be waived.

It’s also worth noting that if you buy a phone through AT&T, you are charged an upgrade fee because you bought the phone through them. But if you purchase a phone at full price from another retailer without involving AT&T, you could swap the SIM card yourself and avoid the activation fee.
Remember, all these costs and procedures are subject to change, so it’s always a good idea to check the current prices and procedures on the AT&T website or contact AT&T directly.
