Introduction
An AT&T prepaid cell phone allows you personalized control over your cell phone expenditures and the flexibility of paying for cell phone service only when you need it. A pay-as-you-go plan is an excellent way to bypass the credit checks and annual commitment contracts
Instructions
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Steps
1Step OneHead to your local big-box electronics store, cellular retailer, AT&T store or go online to search for prepaid cell phone options.
2Step TwoAsk a salesclerk to walk you through the various options AT&T offers its prepaid and pay-as-you-go customers. If you’re shopping online, your options will be presented in a table on the website. It’s a good idea to check with AT&T customer service when you’re shopping online to make sure the website offering the plan isn’t taking a cut for themselves.
3Step ThreeConsider your options carefully. AT&T prepaid cell phone plans generally charge local calls at a flat per-minute anytime rate and charge a higher per-minute rate for national calling. Generally, the more you pay per month the lower your per-minute rate is, so if you plan on heavy use of the prepaid cell phone, you’ll get the best value out of one of the more expensive plans.
4Step FourPay for your first month’s service. There may be additional charges on top of the cost of your plan for the initial activation of your prepaid cell phone.
5Step FiveActivate your phone. Your vendor can usually do this for you by calling AT&T, confirming your payment and having customer service activate your cell phone. You’ll be assigned your new phone number when payment is received by AT&T.
6Step SixUse your cell phone, staying within the confines of your plan.
7Step SevenAdd additional minutes at the beginning of the next month’s billing cycle if you want continued service by purchasing a new prepaid calling plan. You will have to pay up front to continue to use the service. If you don’t pony up, AT&T will assume you wish to discontinue your plan and will end your cell phone service.
