Activate your AT&T Prepaid Go Phone

If you decide to go the route of a prepaid plan, activating your phone is very easy.

You can purchase a phone or BYOD (bring your own device).

If you have your own device, make sure it is compatible with the AT&T network. Also, make sure it is unlocked. After that, you just need to purchase a GoPhone SIM Kit.

Once you have a phone and SIM card, make sure the SIM Card is inserted in properly and that your phone is charged. From here, you can activate your phone in 2 different ways.

Sim Card Quick Start Guide

1. From the home screen of the device, tap Phone.
2. Enter the Activation Code from the Quick Start Guide and Zip Code where you will use your service the most, then tap the Call icon.
3. You'll receive a notification message with your new phone number and instructions to Power off your phone for 10 minutes to complete activation.
4. After 10 minutes, you're read to power on the phone and add money to your account.
   Note: You'll need to add money within 26 days of activation, otherwise, your account will be cancelled, and you'll lose your phone number.
