AT&T has launched a promotion with its prepaid brand GoPhone. Those who port in their number to the prepaid provider will get their second month of service for free. This promotion excludes those that wish to port in from Cricket Wireless as it is another AT&T owned prepaid brand.
GoPhone Plans You Can Port To
AT&T only offers 3 GoPhone plans, and they are as follows:
- $25/month with auto pay- Unlimited talk and text, no data ($30 without auto pay)
- $40/month with auto pay - Unlimited talk, text and data with the first 4 GB at high speeds ($45 without auto pay). Unlimited talk and text from the US to Mexico and Canada also included.
- $55/month with auto pay - Unlimited talk, text and data with the first 8 GB at high speeds ($60 without auto pay). Unlimited talk and text from the US to Mexico and Canada also included, as is data, voice and text roaming while in Mexico and Canada.
Once the plans high speed data allotment is used up, speeds are slowed to a maximum of 128 Kbps. The GoPhone plans also include AT&T's Stream Saver feature, which basically limits the resolution of video streams to 480p. Those that don't like Stream Saver can disable it at any time. Both data containing plans also include data rollover, where any unused high speed data that you have in your account rolls over for one billing cycle. All three plans include unlimited text messaging to over 100 countries.
For those with families, or multiple lines AT&T offers group discounts. Customers can get $5 off of line 2, $10 off of line 3, $15 off of line 4 and $20 off of line 5. The $5 auto pay discounts can still be applied to line 1 with group plans.
If the this promotion sounds good to you, head on over to AT&T's website to sign up. The promotion will only be available until February 6th, 2017.

Would the promotion still apply regardless if the starter SIM Kit is purchased online or say walmart?
I called a local AT&T store and they are asking $25.00 for the SIM.
Online the SIM is free but delivery is close to two weeks. I was allowed to choose expedited shipping which will set me back $14.95.
My wife’s AV monthly service will be due Feb 6th. Two reasons why I am considering AT&T GoPhone. Coverage and no contract.
I was considering GoSmart but Tmobile is still spotty in some areas. If this was my line I would go with GoSmart but with a young one I need reliable coverage plus a little more data for the wife.
Hello,
I just tried to do a chat with them, but I’m getting “chat busy.” So unfortunately I cannot answer conclusively. For most providers where you purchase a SIM does not matter for these sort of promotions. Also, if you haven’t come across it yet, Cricket Wireless now offers more data with their $35 plan. The $35 plan (with autopay) now includes 3 GB of data instead of 2.5 GB if that is of interest to you.
Tmobile also has a prepaid plan at $40 with 4GB of their so called 4G LTE, $45 without autopay. Would this monthly price include taxes? Or are taxes an additional to the monthly $40?
Cricket would interest me but they charge extra for int’l sms as do metropcs which we do use with me traveling. I was thrilled about H20 earlier then I read the article a second time and realised the 3GB data would revert back to 1GB after the first month.
I am currently home til Saturday so I need to get this done before I head out to work.
Although H2O told me data will revert to original allotments after the promo period ends, I’m still wondering if some plans will be made permanent now that one of Cricket’s plans got a bump up. By the way, the data bump is for more than one month, it renews until late March, after which time, your next renewal will be lower.
I’m still paying small amount of taxes on T-Mobiles $30 plan which is why I believe that $40 also has taxes. Only T-Mobile One is being promoted with taxes and fees included.
Forgot to ask if AT&T GoPhone plans will also revert back? I believe their prepaid $40 monthly plan only came with 1.5GB of data.
Their site now says that data rolls over to the next month and don’t expire as long as the account stays active. I want to say their $40 plan is with taxes but we shall see. I’ll update you after giving them a swirl. As usual I’ll keep an eye out for updates on your site.
Thanks a million again for putting time in to your site for readers like myself. It is appreciated from miles away. 🙂
Update 1: I found ATT GoPhone’s SIM starter Kit at Walmart for $10.58 with taxes. The local ATT store wants $25. grrr
While $10 is still a lot for a SIM I’ll take the hit for now. The cheapest I found online was between $4-$10 on ebay and amazon which baffles me because I can find SIMs from other MVNOs for a penny online. Greed maybe? 🙂
Forgive me but still adjusting with the time and coffee is not helping..ha..
I was looking at Project Fi but they still haven’t opened up their service to BYOP. They service has my attention nonetheless because roaming is enabled by default for calls, sms and data but you pay no roaming charges. The coverage is considered as being in your home service area. Also wifi calling is included when no cell service is available.
I am not interested in buying a new phone right now even if it only cost $250. Maybe down the road I’ll look at it again.
