Two new plans $30 & $40
I have a blue tooth
Well the only thing that’s new is more data. Starting Nov 20th $30 plan will include 5gb and $40 is $15gb.

If they are allowed to be included in the multi-line discount, there is no reason not to switch from the current $35 and $45/$50 plans to these.
I wonder why they just didn't update the $35 ($30 w/autopay) and $50 ($40 w/autopay) data allowances instead of creating more plans.

No HD streaming on these. Guess I'm sticking with the 8 GB for $40 (actual price I'm paying 37.20).

ALL IN
Not too far off from T-Mobile's $25 5GB plan.
I wonder if 5G access is included?

A very quick check at https://www.att.com/prepaid/ shows no. 5G wasn't listed as a feature of these limited plans.
iPhone 12 Pro is my current primary phone. Not yet signed up for 5G.

Do the new $30/$40 plans include autopay and multiline discounts?

ATT's site says:
$10-$20 off per line per month
Req’s min $30 phone plan & enrollment in Family account.
Note, according to ATT's prepaid site, the $30 and $40 price is with Autopay, so yes, autopay is specifically supported on these plans.

Now that I have a 5G compatible phone, this $40 plan doesn't quite seem as good. Even though I generally don't have a problem with keeping under 8GB/month (I'm on a MVNO right now with 5GB, and struggle to keep under that).

Where are you seeing that information? I cannot find any reference to the new plans yet.
At this moment, only the old $30 ($35) and $40 ($50) plans are the ones described.
OP said new $30 plan w/5GB and $40 plan w/15GB.

Guess right. But family plans say $30 and above.

At&t Prepaid just updated their webpage
https://www.att.com/prepaid/plans/
It looks like the new $30 plan replaces the old $35/30 with autopay plan. The $40 plan replaces the old $50/40 with autopay plans. They don't mention any autopay discounts, but nothing says that the plans do not qualify for the multiline discount.

looking on walmarts site I see they have hotspot included for these plans now too up to the allocated data.
No autopay discount that I can tell

Yep. They also show in OLAM in the list of plans available to change to. No autopay discount and no explicit mention that they can get the multi-line discount (they should as both are greater than the $30 minimum required).
What I find stupid is that the created "new" plans, instead of just increasing the data allowances for the existing $30 and $40 plans, like they did recently for the $30 plan from 1GB to 2GB.
I also find strange the fact the the old $40 ($50) and $30 ($35) plan choices are still available in OLAM to switch to. I would have expect those to be no longer available. What's the point of keeping them?
Edit: As mentioned by another poster earlier, no HD Stream Saver available in these new plans. (Not that I take advantage of that feature). This could be one of the reasons to create "new" plans.
Edit 2: This could be just a temporary oversight, but these new plans are NOT listed as options in the multi-plan calculator HERE. This would be a big disincentive to switch to these plan for many, including myself.

Why yes, that is a bag phone
It's also in the same range as Verizon's 5GB prepaid plan if you stick around long enough (loyalty discount is $5 off after 3 months, $5 more off after 9 months) and add autopay. When all is said and done, it's $25, includes 5G Nationwide (aka everything but UWB). Verizon did away with group/family discounting on these plans when they redid them a few months ago, so I wonder if AT&T is doing that, too.
In terms of the Verizon plan and 5G Nationwide, those speeds seem about like what I was getting with LTE, but should handle congestion better. I'm pretty happy with it, but T-Mobile has n41 running in my area, treats their prepaid with higher priority, and the plan will grow a bit over time, so I might switch once I use up my balance.
I'm hoping things stay competitive like this at the $25-$35 space...it's kind of fun.

I might be interested in this.
A few questions:
- If I start with the 5GB $30 plan, I assume I can easily upgrade to the 15GB $40 plan, if that becomes necessary. The 8GB $300/year plan might be interesting, although it's way too much upfront price I want to commit without testing things out first.
- Any recommendation for a cheap phone that covers a wide variety of bands? According to the information I see, the tower closest to the location I will be using this at uses bands 12, 14, 17, and 66 - any recommendations for any cheap phone (ebay) that would cover all of these bands? I will need hotspot capabilities, but I assume that won't be an issue since the plan comes with that.
- Will a Cricket branded phone work with AT&T Prepaid?
