I have two lines with AT&T with 6GB of shared data a month. My payments are on autopilot and I seldom look at the bill. Until tonight. I am paying $160. I thnk that's a lot for two lines. I keep hearing deals with unlimited data for a lot less. Anyone has any recommendations or am I safer staying with a brand name carrier?

Just call AT&T and ask them to upgrade you to one of the two following plans

OP, you are probably on an older plan that you actually have to call and change to another plan, which is outlined above by Paco. If you want to stay with AT&T, you can definitely get a cheaper plan.
I have Verizon which is more expensive but I'm paying like $30 more than you for more GB and five lines.
There is a company that I've been using for about 5 years, Ting. They use the Sprint backbone. You can bring your own phone. My one phone line last month was $17 TOTAL.
Of course, that is with little or no data usage, for which I would pay about $10 per Gig. But I don't use it much since I'm not navigating or watching videos on my phone without being on a WIFI.
So if you don't use much data, that would be the way to go.

Page Page Cellular (Verizon towers) and Calling Mart discount.
Verizon unlimited everything....$45 a month. You’re getting screwed
What is the name of that plan? Is it something you're grandfathered in, or a military discount? I use Verizon because it's the only company that has towers in my area, and I've never had a plan that cheap, let alone unlimited. The only unlimited plan I can find on their website is $75 plus fees & taxes, which are usually ~$15.
For a single line it's $75...plus probably $15 in taxes/fees.
I only pay about $5 in taxes/fees on my Verizon prepaid account. For a single line unlimited it's $65 after getting the $5 autopay discount, then you have about $5 taxes and fees, so total bill for one line unlimited is about $70. I have no idea what the poster who says $45/mo is talking about with Verizon, as the contract plans are more expensive than the prepaid plans - the only benefit to the contract plan is getting a free phone.
4 lines with T-Mobile for $85/month. After tax and fee about $105. Unlimited data (slower speed after reaching 2 GB) and talk and text. No contract.
Best thing is it is workable almost everywhere in the world. Even in North Korea (JSA).
