AT&T Wireless announced new promotions bundling tablets with smartphone purchases in an effort to boost the uptake of tablet wireless contracts. A limited-time offer beginning Friday includes an LG G Pad 7.0 LTE for 99 cents with the purchase of a smartphone for $0 down on AT&T’s Next installment plan. The promotion includes a two-year agreement and qualifying data plan with voice activation for the phone and a two-year data plan for the tablet, the company said. In an offer running Oct. 3-Jan. 8, customers can get a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (a $369 value) for $99 with the purchase of any Samsung Galaxy smartphone with two-year service agreement including data for the phone and a two-year data plan for the tablet, it said. Customers who buy an iPhone on the AT&T Next plan will get $200 off a new iPad bought on a two-year wireless agreement through Oct. 31, AT&T said. Qualified wireless service is required on both devices, it said. Customers must sign a two-year wireless agreement for the iPad and use AT&T Next to purchase the iPhone, the carrier said. Customers can score a $100 credit when purchasing a smartphone via AT&T Next and adding it as a new line to an account, AT&T said.
