(NYSE:T) has announced that it has prices and products to please virtually every gift giver and recipient — from breakthrough smartphones and value-focused products to limited-time bundle offers.

MUST-HAVE DEVICES AND IN-HOME SERVICES

* Quick Messaging Phones. AT&T recently launched a line of four new quick messaging phones that makes text messaging easier than ever before. The Pantech Matrix™, Samsung Propel™, Pantech Slate™ and AT&T Quickfire™ are all available for $49-$99 in stores or online now.

Voice packages start at $39.99, and customers can carry over their extra, unused voice minutes each month with AT&T’s Rollover Minutes®, available on all its nationwide calling plans.
* GoPhone. Different customers have different wireless needs, and GoPhone is the perfect gift for those on your list who want flexibility and control in their wireless bills. The only wireless service that provides both a mobile-to-mobile calling community of nearly 75 million and the ability to carry over any unused balance from month to month without a contract, GoPhone allows customers to choose how they pay and how much they pay each month with Pay As You Go or Pick Your Plan. Users can purchase additional feature packages for texting, night and weekend minutes, MEdia Net, Web browsing and e-mail. GoPhone handsets and prepaid cards are available at all AT&T stores in addition to 48,000 distribution points including Wal-Mart, Target, Radio Shack and Best Buy.
* AT&T U-verseSM TV. For those who might be staying at home to save a little extra cash, AT&T U-verse TV keeps you entertained with great programming and more than 75 High Definition (HD) channels — more HD channels than are offered by the major local cable providers in every U-verse market. Also included, at no extra charge with most packages, is Total Home DVR, allowing you to watch a recorded show from a single DVR on any connected TV in the house. U-verse TV packages start as low as $44 a month, and new customers can receive $200 cash back when ordering a qualifying TV package online. AT&T U-verse TV ranked “Highest in Residential Television Service Satisfaction in the North Central, South, and West Regions,” according to the J.D.

And unlimited local/long distance is available for only $30 a month when purchased with two additional services including TV, Internet and wireless. By itself, unlimited local and long distance is available for $45 a month.
