Christmas Gift

Hello I received a cell phone for a Christmas gift and my girlfriend unexpectedly past away in January.  I can’t make any phone calls and when I go to AT&T it showing service suspended.

Was she the account holder? If she was, and passed away, then it sounds like the account was suspended for non-payment. If that's the case, there's not much you can do. You also have another post about not being able to make calls on an AppleWatch 6. If the AppleWatch 6 was tied to her account as well, that could be the reason.

Yeah unfortunately the equipment and service are tied to someone who passed away 5 months ago, there isn't anything you can do. You'll have to buy a new phone and start new service on your own.

If you had been proactive in January, bringing a death certificate to an AT&T store, they could have transferred the phone and your phone number into your name and closed her account out.

You have to set up the watch either as a companion device, or with family setup.

During the process, your watch would be set up on your postpaid account.. rate plan is $10 plus the tax and fees similar to your phone line
