Is DTV required to have Att Elite Data plan – AT&T Community Forums

No, Directv service is not a requirement for Unlimited Elite. TV service was a requirement for some BOGO phone promotions, so if you are getting any free phone credits, you need to check if DTV was a requirement but it is not required to keep the plan.
