How to Change Your Number on an AT&T Go Phone?

AT&T Go Phone is a new cell phone service from the company that gives customers more choices. With a Go Phone, you can buy a phone at the store without having to sign up for a service plan first.

Pay-as-you-go options are available once you have the phone. If you choose to pay as you go, you will only be charged for the time that you actually use. Monthly subscriptions are required if a plan is selected.

Step 1

Go back to the place where you bought it and show them your phone. The AT&T/Cingular store is the only option if you purchased it from a non-AT&T/Cingular store, such as Walmart or Best Buy.

Step 2

Changing your phone number is as simple as bringing your phone into the store and telling the staff there that you wish to do so. As soon as you purchase your phone, your phone number will be included in the package. AT&T will be able to change your phone number, even if you don’t get to pick it up.

Step 3

Pay the fee to change your phone number. A Go Phone number change will cost you around $30. For free, you can get a new phone number if you sign up for a new account, but you won’t be able to transfer your old balance. A number change and a fee are the only options for transferring your account balance. Please note that your new phone number will be active the next day.

 

How to Add Minutes to an ATT Prepaid Phone?

Customers who don’t want a yearly contract can get an AT&T prepaid phone. AT&T prepaid phones, also known as GoPhone, have a pre-loaded dollar amount that can be used to pay for minutes.

If you’re running low on minutes on your phone, you can buy a prepaid card or recharge your account online.

Add money over the phone or on the internet

Here is a step-by-step guide on how you can add money over the internet or on the phone:

Step 1

Go to att.com/mygophone to access the GoPhone website. 611 from your prepaid phone, 800-901-9878 if you’re a Pay As You Go customer or 866-499-7888 for Pick Your Plan customers can be dialed in order to top up your prepaid phone’s credit balance. Minutes can be purchased with a credit or debit card over the phone.

Choose “GoPhone Pick Your Plan Customers” or “GoPhone Pay As You Go Customers,” depending on the type of prepaid phone you have, the link “Refill your minutes with credit or debit card.”

Step 2

Make a Decision Customers can prepay for a monthly plan by selecting one of four options. The number of minutes that can be used at any time, including weekends and nights, varies by plan.

In the event that you need to use more minutes than your monthly allotment, you can purchase additional minutes on your phone. Pay As You Go customers have a choice of four different plans. One of the first options is a $3 Unlimited Calling plan which charges $3.00 per daily usage of the service.

You’ll be charged one dollar plus ten cents per minute with the $1 Mobile to Mobile Plan, the second option. Mobile-to-mobile talk time is included in all plans, regardless of price, whether they are $1 or $3.

The third option is the 25-cent Simple Plan, which charges 25 cents per minute rather than a daily fee. The Simple Plan with unlimited mobile-to-mobile minutes is the fourth option, costing $60 per month. It costs 25 cents per minute to make any other type of call from that point onward.

Step 3

On the right-hand side of “Refill Minutes Now,” there is a button that reads “Go.” Enter your wireless phone number on the following page and click “Continue.”

Step 4

Follow the on-screen instructions to pay for the minutes with a credit or debit card, then select the amount of time you need. The minutes will be added to your phone as soon as possible.

 

Buy Prepaid Refill Cards

Here is how you can buy prepaid refill cards:

Step 1

Purchase a prepaid refill card or a Pay As You Go card from an AT&T wireless store. For $15, $25, $50, $60, or $100, you can get a Pay As You Go card.

Step 2

On the back of the refill card, there is a PIN number.

Step 3

Dial _888 PIN NUMBER# on your prepaid phone to add the dollar amount of the refill card to your balance. Press SEND when you’re finished entering the number. Recordings of your new balance and expiration date will be played on your phone.
