AT&T's latest business discount is a 2-for-1 smartphone deal
AT&T on Wednesday announced aggressive discounts on new smartphones and devices, including a 2-for-1 smartphone offer for business customers.
A big focus of the AT&T discounts is special deals on Samsung's Galaxy smartphones and Gear S2 smartwatches. Analysts interpreted that focus on Samsung devices as a way to clear out inventory prior to expected upgrade announcements coming in late February at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
AT&T is also facing pressure to add more subscribers, as analysts -- including Evercore ISI this week-- have predicted AT&T's fourth-quarter postpaid subscriber loss will be more than 300,000.
