Minimum payment for $2 daily plan

What is the minimum amount I can pay each month to keep my $2/day pay as you go plan rolling over without losing minutes.    (If I keep adding a $25 go card every month to keep from losign points I'll end up with way more points than I'll ever use. Can I pay say $2 or $5 a month via debit/credit card just to keep from losing existing points?  )

 

Everywhere i look online says it "can be rolled into the next month by submitting a minimal payment before the expiration date..." but no one actually says what that minimum really is.

$10 lasts one month.

$25 last 90 days.

$100 last one year

Ok. Thank you for clearing that up.

 

At one point in setting up my account the customer service agent tried to snooker me into taking the 25 cents/minute plan stating that on that plan a $25 startup/refill would last in 3 months but on the $2 plan, that all refills regardless of the amount expire in 30 days.

 

 I ended up having another agent put me back on the $2 plan anyway because after crunching some numbers, the rare and few days I do use the cell phone would be heavy use and I'd blow  through $100 easily in one day on a 25 cent plan. ..Unlimited talk time for $2 when I need it makes much more sense!   (She also kept going on that any time I receive a text I'd get charged for the $2 for the day, even though I kept telling her I don't use my cell phone for text..it's JUST A PHONE).

 

She kept insisiting that if I only used $4 on calls this month the remaining $20-ish dollars in there would vanish in a month unless I added another $25 before the 30 days are up.

 

I do see now that I've set up my online account to check, the $25 I put in to set up the account, minus $2 for making a test call to my dad yesterday... it says I have $23 remaining that will expire sometime in December... so, that means I won't lose my $23 even if I don't add more to it in September or November.. correct? Just need to add before the December deadline to keep it rolling forward, right?

No you have to put 60 dallors on a paygo plan to use it for 30 days. If you make one call it charges 2 dallors for the day if you use it at all it charges you two dallors for the day so actually your paying 60 a month 40 for 20 days 20 for 10 days and I don't think theirs a way to pay less then 20$ paygo unless u go 2 the pay machine in the store at att&t ....and can't pay less then 25$ on debit or credit card.... iv tried it ,so I know.plus u don't get the regular internet data base so I think this plan maybe good for people who don't use their phone for internet purposes or texting, but if you do,, its better 2 go a monthly rate .I personally only did paygo because I didn't have my money wene my regular bill was due so I did a paygo plan because I already had internet for my home.

@Cholea23  If the OP is using the phone that often the $30 unlimited talks no text plan would be better.  Many users don't give out their number, just hold on to the phone in case of emergency.

Ok, so how do I sign up for this $2 daily plan, assuming you only get charged for the actual days the phone is used?  I am currently on another provider and pay $20 every 90 days automatically but there is no choice of phone and I do believe they are eliminating all pay as you go type plans.  Actually, lately I can't seem to find even ONE phone available for purchase and use of that particular pay as you go (prepaid) plan.
