Single person discrimination
Why does AT&T only offer discounted pricing to multiple person households? Such blatant discrimination!!! They provide absolutely zero options for discounted pricing to a single user. It should be as unlawful as any other form of discrimination.

Sorry, that’s not discrimination. There is no requirement for you to live in the same household to have a multiline plan. Many times friends who don’t live together will share a multiline plan to cut the costs.

Rural locations have very limited options. AT&T is it. Shared lines with requires a primary. The primary assumes full financial responsibility. Still does not excuse AT&T discriminatory practices of offering discounted phones ONLY if two or more are purchased.

@Anonymous And single users do really well on prepaid, more data for less money. And AT&T prepaid has great deals for new sign ups. The $300 deal, and the 25 gig through Walmart are hard to beat and only for singles. Leaves you plenty left over for a phone, and still pay less than the $80 a month.

You don't really understand what discrimination means. If my grocery store offers a two-for-one discount on broccoli, is that discrimination because I don't like broccoli? If AT&T offered a discount for people who work for Circle K, is that discrimination against people who don't work for Circle K?
The multi-line discounts (like all discounts) aren't a form of discrimination, just an incentive to get more business for AT&T. If you have a single friend or family member, you're free to add them as an additional line to take advantage of the discount.

Discriminate
To make a distinction in favor of or against a person on basis of group, class or category to which a person belongs rather than according to merit. To show partiality.
Single person vs groups of 2.
Groups are offered discounted phone pricing. Single person is NOT offered similar discounted pricing. Distinction made in favor of groups of 2 and against single person.

@Anonymous Um no. Race, religion, skin color, gender preference, disability. You choosing to sign up for your own account, rather than getting 3 other ‘singles’ to reduce the cost is something you can change. A person cannot change their biology or disability. It’s insulting to those who are minorities or marginalized to lump yourself in with them.

As stated: Any marginalized entity. To divide people into groups for any reason is to create the seperation of one group from another. Then, in providing a benefit to one group, while denying another is, as stated, marginalization. Partiality has been shown in the preference of one group over another.
