PROSPECTUS

Offer to Exchange up to
$3,500,000,000 Principal Amount of Our
5.35% Global Notes due 2040
Which Have Been Registered under the Securities Act of 1933
For All Outstanding Unregistered
5.35% Global Notes due 2040

AT&T Inc. ("AT&T") is offering to exchange registered 5.35% Global Notes due 2040 (the "Exchange
Notes") for its outstanding unregistered 5.35% Global Notes due 2040 (the "Original Notes"). The Original
Notes and the Exchange Notes are sometimes referred to in this prospectus together as the "Notes". The
terms of the Exchange Notes are substantially identical to the terms of the Original Notes, except that the
Exchange Notes are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the
transfer restrictions and registration rights and related special interest provisions applicable to the Original
Notes do not apply to the Exchange Notes. The Original Notes may only be tendered in an amount equal to
$1,000 in principal amount or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. We also intend to pay in cash
accrued and unpaid interest on the Original Notes accepted for exchange from the last applicable interest
payment date to, but excluding, the date on which the exchange of Original Notes accepted for exchange is
settled (such date is referred to herein as the "Settlement Date"). We refer to this offer as the "Exchange
Offer". For a more detailed description of the Exchange Notes, see "Description of Exchange Notes".

We are not asking you for a proxy and you are requested not to send us a proxy. You do not have
dissenters' rights of appraisal in connection with the Exchange Offer. See "The Exchange Offer --
Absence of Dissenters' Rights of Appraisal".

No public market currently exists for the Original Notes. The Exchange Notes will not be listed on any
national securities exchange.

Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must
acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. The
letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not
be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it
may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with
resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Original Notes where such Original Notes were acquired
by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that,
for a period of 90 days after the Expiration Date (as defined herein), we will make this prospectus available to
any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See "Plan of Distribution" below.

Holders may withdraw their tendered Original Notes at any time on or prior to the Expiration Date (as
defined below) of the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
May 12, 2011, unless extended or earlier terminated by us (such date, as the same may be extended or earlier
terminated, the "Expiration Date"). The Exchange Offer is subject to customary conditions discussed under
"The Exchange Offer -- Conditions to the Exchange Offer".

Investing in the Exchange Notes involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on
page 55 of our 2010 Annual Report to Stockholders, portions of which are filed as
Exhibit 13 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2010, which is incorporated by reference herein, and on page 7 of this
prospectus, to read about factors you should consider before investing in the
Exchange Notes.

On March 20, 2011, AT&T and Deutsche Telekom AG ("Deutsche Telekom") entered into
a stock purchase agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") under which AT&T agreed to
acquire from Deutsche

Telekom all of the outstanding capital stock of its subsidiary T-Mobile USA, Inc. As of such
date, the transaction had an approximate cost of $39 billion to AT&T, consisting of
(i) $25 billion in cash and (ii) approximately $14 billion of AT&T's common stock, subject to
adjustment. In addition, AT&T has the right to increase the cash portion of the purchase price
by up to $4.2 billion with a corresponding decrease in the stock portion. The closing of the
acquisition, which is expected to occur in approximately twelve months, is subject to certain
conditions, including approval by the Federal Communications Commission and the expiration
or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act of 1976, as
amended. The acquisition is not subject to the approval of the stockholders of either AT&T or
Deutsche Telekom. In the event that the Stock Purchase Agreement is terminated because of the
failure to obtain regulatory approval, AT&T may become obligated to pay Deutsche Telekom
$3 billion in cash, enter into a roaming agreement with Deutsche Telekom on terms favorable to
both parties and transfer to Deutsche Telekom certain wireless AWS spectrum that AT&T does
not need for its initial LTE roll-out.

AT&T and Deutsche Telekom have also entered into a stockholder's agreement, which will
become effective upon the closing of the acquisition. Pursuant to the stockholder's agreement,
Deutsche Telekom will have the right to nominate one director to AT&T's Board of Directors
until such time as Deutsche Telekom's ownership in AT&T has been reduced below an agreed
threshold, and so long as such nominee satisfies certain requirements, AT&T is obligated to use
its reasonable best efforts to include such nominee in the slate of Board-approved candidates for
election to AT&T's Board of Directors.

On March 31, 2011, AT&T entered into a term credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"),
with certain investment and commercial banks, pursuant to which, and subject to the conditions
set forth in the Credit Agreement, the lenders committed to provide unsecured bridge financing
of up to $20 billion in connection with the acquisition of T-Mobile USA, Inc. In the event
advances are made under the Credit Agreement, those advances would be used solely to finance
a portion of the cash consideration to be paid in the acquisition and to pay related fees and
expenses. The obligations of the lenders under the Credit Agreement to provide advances will
terminate on September 20, 2012, unless prior to that date: (i) AT&T reduces to $0 the
commitments of the lenders under the Credit Agreement, (ii) the Stock Purchase Agreement is
terminated prior to the date the advances are made, or (iii) certain events of default occur. The
Credit Agreement contains provisions requiring the reduction of the commitments of the lenders
and the prepayment of outstanding advances by the amount of net cash proceeds resulting from
the incurrence of certain indebtedness by AT&T or its subsidiaries, the public issuance of any
capital stock by AT&T or its subsidiaries and non-ordinary course sales or dispositions of assets
by AT&T or its subsidiaries, in each case subject to exceptions set forth in the Credit
Agreement. Repayment of all advances must be made no later than the first anniversary of the
date on which advances are made.
