Need to open my own line.

I am on someone’s family plan and I need to get off it, but I don’t have an open bank account. How do I keep my phone on?

If you plan to stay with ATT, the account owner needs to initiate a transfer of billing responsibility of your line to you. When you accept, you will set up your own line and plan. However, if you have low or no credit yet, you may have to pay a deposit. ATT doesn’t care if you have a bank account but not sure how you plan to pay the bill without one. You could also consider prepaid. More info here: https://www.att.com/tobr/.

Port to prepaid.  You will have to pay off your phone if it has installments on the family plan.
