HBOMAX

HBO Max has not been removed from Unlimited Elite to my knowledge. Unlimited Elite was discontinued and replaced by Unlimited Premium and that plan does not include HBO Max. Whoever you were chatting with was probably confused.

Same thing here.  Considering just switching to the Unlimited premium plan (which is cheaper than the Elite) and then just subscribing to HBO Max during their current special of ~$100/year which woulds still save me ~$30/mo for 4 lines.

Hello L2M19U, we're here to help answer your question about wireless plans related to HBO Max.

As the ACE @sandblaster mentioned, Unlimited Elite was discontinued and replaced by Unlimited Premium and that plan does not include HBO Max.

Starting August 17, 2022, new and returning subscribers in the U.S. can save over 40% when they sign up for the HBO Max Ad-Free or With Ads yearly plan. Savings based on the price of the yearly plan paid upfront compared to the price of the monthly plan paid over 12 months. 

Let us know if this helps, and thank you for contacting the AT&T Community Forums.

But I'm still paying for unlimited elite, so HBOMax should still be included. I was never notified of a change in my plan...

Exactly what Taryn said.  My plan hasn’t changed.  But the HBO part disappeared.  Not happy.

@ATTHelp You didn’t answer the question. For customers that still have Unlimited Elite, has HBOMax been removed or not?

@tarynsprankles You might want to verify you still actually have Unlimited Elite and didn’t somehow get changed to the new plan. 

@sandblaster I checked. It's still my plan and it still says HBOMax is included. I just can't find any way to access it/enable it, and that's where support said basically that I wouldn't find a way because it doesn't exist. Thanks for the clarification to @ATTHelp. That's exactly the clarification I need. The idea of switching to the cheaper premium plan is a good idea if they keep giving me the runaround, but in truth, I am so frustrated with their customer service (or lack thereof), that I am ready to cancel my cable service with them and go strictly to streaming, not through them, because I don't want to give them any more of my money. I'm locked into wireless for a while, unfortunately.

Hello, @L2M19U! We want to help clarify which streaming services are offered with your plan!

@ATTHelp LOL. But you STILL have not answered the question about access to HBOMax through my CURRENT elite plan. This much runaround seems to indicate I'm not going to like your answer. Why can I not access the promised HBOMax, free of charge, through my CURRENT elite plan? I don't actually WANT to change my plan. I WANT the services I actually singed up for!
