A FirstNet plan for one person starts at $45 a month for one line, after autopay and paperless billing. That’s Value 2.0, the entry tier, and the price per line drops as lines join your account. FirstNet is AT&T’s wireless network built for public safety, and you sign up through FirstNet after you verify your job.
Every individual plan includes always-on priority and preemption on the FirstNet network across AT&T’s 5G and 4G spectrum and public safety’s Band 14, and unlimited data that can’t slow down based on how much you use. FirstNet isn’t a commercial network, so you never compete with commercial traffic for a connection.
How To Get The FirstNet First Responder Discount
- Open FirstNet’s individual plans page with the button below and pick how many lines you need.
- Verify your role. Enter your agency’s affiliation code or self-verify with your job details, then submit the documents FirstNet asks for. You have up to 30 days from the first verification email or text.
- Choose your plan and a FirstNet Capable device. FirstNet plans need a FirstNet Trio SIM or eSIM card.
- Check the per-line price on your first bill, since the listed prices are after eligible autopay and paperless billing and taxes and fees are extra.

Who Qualifies
FirstNet is open to millions of public safety roles, including first responders, EMS and 9-1-1 dispatch, and many jobs in healthcare, utilities and the National Guard. If you aren’t sure whether your title counts, you find out when you verify. An agency that already uses FirstNet can give its people an affiliation code, which speeds up the check.
