AT&T's G6 is a bit more expensive, but you get a deal on another G6.
Third out of the gate with an LG G6 announcement is AT&T, which is going about things a bit differently than T-Mobile and Verizon. The company has announced that LG's next flagship will indeed be available April 7 — the same day as T-Mobile, and a week later than Big Red — but it will be sold primarily through its Next or Next Every Year programs.
Customers will be able to buy the phone for 30 instalments of $24 — $720 total — through AT&T Next, or 24 instalments of $30 through AT&T Next Every Year.
There are also a few good deals to go along with the purchase: AT&T is throwing in what amounts to a free G6 after credits when one signs up for a second line on AT&T Next. And along with the free Google Home (which all other carriers are giving away, too), customers can get an LG Watch Sport for $50 on a 2-year plan.
The deals are not exactly groundbreaking, and probably not as competitive as Verizon's, but they're good to have nonetheless.

LG G6 coming to AT&T on April 7 for $720, but you get a second G6 for free
Eh, this one sounds the least appealing, especially once you add in all that at&t bloat.
Figured the G6 would be the first of the 'flagship' phones to be a two for one phone, but I figured it would come from T-Mobile sometime this summer followed by the other companies in the Fall. Of course, this deal is just AT&T's way of locking you into their new no contract system for 30 months.
30 installments make for a really expensive phone! #installments
Um, 30 x $24=$720...the total price of the phone.
Sounds good
Buy one get one free .. Already well you can't blame LG for not pulling out all the stops. With these deals there bound to move a few more phones for sure
2 for 1 is not an LG deal. It is an AT&T deal to get a second line activated. Just like the T-MOBILE price is not a price drop but a carrier price.
That's a lot of dough for a phone with last year's specs, potential bootloops, loaded with bloatware, along with AT&T's glacial pace of pushing updates. Pass.
I'm going to agree with most of this. ATT bloatware is the worst.
The bootloop issues well see if that's a thing this time around.
Yep, not impressed especially with that price point ouch! I'll hold onto my G4.
Done buying devices through carriers. Pay cash, skip carrier bloatware, and avoid getting locked in to payments.
Below $700 is the magic price point. Its like they wanted to keep the monthly payment around $30 for 24 months.
Disappointed that they are not doing any trade in promos on top of it.
This phone is DOA all the used car gimmicks in the world will not help, bring an LG G6 with 64gb , wireless charging and quad DAC all in one phone and then you will sell some.
Disappointed that ATT is the highest priced phone compared to Verizon and T-Mobile. Giving away a 2nd LG G6 just benefits ATT since you need to open a new line. Wish the cost was under $700.
