Need Help With PREPAID Roaming in Korea
Hi, I found out through another post I made that prepaid subscriptions don’t have roaming in Korea. I can’t sign in to my AT&T account because I can’t get the verification code text to sign in, nor can I make any calls or use live chat. I really need help with figuring out my bills and how to get roaming in Korea. How would I contact and agent or at least figure out how to not be automatically charged for my prepaid phone bill?

There is nothing you can do to get roaming in Korea. As noted, prepaid does not roam there. You would need to switch to a postpaid plan to get roaming but that can’t be done from Korea. That can only be done back in the US.

Umm, what now?
The answer is be better prepared before you leave the USA by signing up for service and the roaming plan that will work where you are going. AT&T prepaid will have no service of any kind in Korea. Even Wi-Fi calling is blocked.

Hey, not sure whether you still have an issue, but as you experienced AT&T Prepaid doesn't connect to any cellular network in South Korea. However it does roam in Japan, for whopping $35/30 days 5GB plus unlimited call/text.
But, Wi-Fi calling works just fine and I have no issue making/receiving calls/texts using a Wi-Fi network or another sim's cellular data connection.
If you want to manage your account, you cannot access AT&T prepaid website (paygonline.com) via normal connection. I normally use VPN to USA and manage my account. I've been to Japan and website worked just fine, but not sure whether you can access with VPN through Japan.
Anyways, hope this helps and have a great day!

@StandingBell The $35 international travel add-on is only good for 7 days, not 30.

If you purchased an AT&t prepaid phone it is locked until you have completed 6 months of AT&t prepaid, paid service. If you have been denied the unlock with a message to that effect, that would be why.
If you have not yet requested an unlock, you may have to use a US VPN to access the portal to make such a request
