ATT Prepaid Phone Cards

How ATT Prepaid Phone Cards Work

The ATT prepaid phone cards can be used in two different ways:

• As a plastic card that you can carry with you
• As a virtual card (the PIN number and phone number are provided when you purchase the virtual cards online)

The cards can be used to make local, long distance, state-to-state and international calls from any touch-tone phone.

Purchasing a Prepaid Phone Card

The ATT prepaid phone cards can be purchased either online, in a store or from a vending machine. They can be found in the following places:

• Convenience stores
• Gas stations
• Airports
• Supermarkets

Use the ATT website’s store locator to find a store near you.

Rates and Pricing

Prepaid phone cards that are purchased on the ATT website have the following rates:

• 60-minute card for $5.49
• 100-minute card for $8.49
• 300-minute card for $19.49

International rates are slightly higher, depending upon the country you are calling. The ATT website has a rate finder, which will help you determine the current rate for each country.

Easily Recharge the Card

It is easy to recharge the cards online. Most orders are completed within minutes, though transactions that need verification may require up to two hours to complete. Any dollar amount can be added to the ATT card, which makes it easy for parents or businesses to add funds to any prepaid phone card. This makes it easy for parents to add funds to cards for college students or teens that are miles away, and businesses to add funds for business travelers.

How to Place a Call

Placing a call from a touch-tone phone is simple. The back of the prepaid phone card also provides the following instructions to make a call:

• Call the ATT number on the back of the plastic card
• Enter your PIN (Personal Identification Number) number
• Dial 1 plus the area code and phone number for calls within the United States
• For international calls, after entering your PIN number, dial 011 plus the country code, city code and number

Benefits of Prepaid Cards

There are many benefits in purchasing prepaid phone cards. Here are just a few:

• The cards can be used to keep in case of an emergency, such as a car breaking down or a teen that needs to be picked up and doesn’t have a ride
• They are great for college students to use to call home
• They are the perfect gift for people who make frequent long-distance or international phone calls
• They can be used as incentives for employees
• They are a great tool for business or personal travel when you don’t want to pay the high price many hotels charge for phone calls from a hotel room
