A quick glance at the fundamentals gives the edge to British American Tobacco.
Considering the volatility in the industry, BTI is a superior investment. The biggest thing in its favor is that BTI is trading under $40 but it pays a $0.746 dividend (March 25, 2021).
It might be some time before it pays the record $1.477 dividend it did in March 2017. But the yield is still attractive for how little capital you have to put in the company.
If you are buying BTI, be sure to do before it climbs above $40.
Also, if you are replacing AT&T, you should look into Pembina Pipeline Corporation, which pays a monthly dividend of around $0.17.

The British American Tobacco Company (BTI) is an attractive investment for several reasons. 
For starters, it pays $0.746 in dividends and has the potential to pay even more when its payout hits higher levels again; BTI also trades at just under 40 pounds per share with a yield that approaches 8%. 
If you're looking to replace AT&T Inc., consider Pembina Pipeline Corporation. It's approximately $34 per share, and the company offers investors plenty of value if they are willing to wait on their returns until 2020-2021 while paying out less than 3% cash flow over time from operations annually.
