New and current AT&T customers can take advantage of the phone and internet provider’s entertainment perks through the AT&T Unlimited & More Premium plan ($50/month when you get four lines). How it works is you add the plan to your account, then you can choose Spotify Premium as your entertainment option (out of seven choices total) for no additional charge.
Other qualifying AT&T customers can also sign up for a six month free trial of Spotify Premium ($66 value).
