Bought as a Gift...how to cancel phonennumber automatically assigned?

I bought a gophone online from ATT store as a gift for someone who had an existing gophone account/phone number.  When the phone arrived, it was assigned a new phone number.  We got the phone switched to the existing number, but now do I have to "cancel" the phone number originally given to the order? I don't want to get charged for a phone line that is not being used.

Hi @colbyward, if you don't continue to fund the phone number, it should automatically cancel 60 days after any existing balance on it expires. Did you fund any amount to it or setup auto-refill?

 

If you did, you may want to contact customer care at 800-901-9878 so they can look into the account, see if you're on auto-refill and ensure any future payments are not set to take place so that the line will auto cancel.

Thank you, Justin.  No, I did not fund it or set up auto-refill...so I think I'm all set.  Phew!
