AT&T Prepaid $10 Refill Card

Average rating: Stars

WATCH OUT for SHORT EXPIRATION DATE!!

I have been using the AT&T Free2Go phone for years , and I love it. But the refill card I just received from AMAZON expires in 30 days (Dec.31)! Every other card I have purchased has been good for 6 months to a year. So, if you are planning on giving this Refill card to someone or holding it for a while before you activate the minutes, I suggest buying one somewhere else til after Jan. 2005 (when the new stock arrives). AMAZON customer service said they can't do a thing about it, except issue a refund when I return it.

Exactly what I need

This plan is good because I only need it to communicate with family members while one of us is away. I do not need a plan that gives me hundreds of minutes just so I can chat in the car or at the grocery store, I do my chatting on my home phone. Also, you can get cards cheaper, ebay has a seller that sells the $100 card for $95 and I get text messages from AT&T wireless for 10% savings on refills. I am happy with the plan and it gives me peace of mind when I am out traveling, I always have it there for emergencies. Also, I bought my phone from HSN and it only cost $21.00 after the two rebates, It cost $99 at Target, so shop around!

new expiration date ---> 90 days

I have used the Free To Go phone and phonecard for 3 years. The expiration date on the phonecard has gone from 90 days to 45 days --- and now it's back to 90 days!!! (For 10, 25, 75 cards; for 100 card the expiration date is 1 year - 365 days!!!) --- as of 3/31/04.

The per minute cost is high (0.50/minute for the 10 card - local calling plan; AT&T Free 2 Go Wireless customers activating initial service after 3/31/04 are eligible for the new Flat Rate plan of 0.25/minute for 10 card), but for emergency purposes, and to always have a phone available, it buys peace of mind. Because of its carryover feature (carryover has a dollar limit of 1,000) I now have enough money stored on the account that I can use it to make long distance calls without concern for cost - [within reason of course].

For short, infrequent use, the Free To Go phone and phonecard is the way to go. The user needs to decide how long and how often the phone will be use and buy the appropriate card. As of 3/31/04 there is a New Flat Rate Calling Plan (accounts started before 3/31/04 can switch their Local Plan or National Plan to the New Flat Rate Calling Plan).
