Prepaid chip activation

Hello @Rouse1, we're happy to help with options to purchase a SIM and activate your Prepaid account. 

It’s easy to transfer your current phone number when you switch. Enter your 10-digit phone number to see if it can be transferred when you Switch to AT&T.

You can get SIM card kits at one of our stores, online through att.com, or from another online retailer. The kits come with three SIM card sizes. You can use it if you want to bring your own device to AT&T, or if you just need a new physical SIM.

• Pick up an AT&T PREPAID SIM card or SIM card kit at our stores, online, or from an AT&T national retailer.
