Gold Prospecting with AT&T prepaid cell phones:


Details:

This is the info on their plans that I got from their site.  I will talk about the prepaid phones also, after this page. 

AT&T, America's second largest wireless carrier, has maintained a high profile for its GoPhone prepaid service for many years. They offer a number of plans that can fit many different customers needs.

Pros: They have a wide selection of monthly plans that can serve the needs of both  heavy talkers and text users.

Cons: The phones that can take advantage of mobile web are on the expensive side, relative to performance.

 

Detailed Provider Information

Plans: AT&T offers three different GoPhone prepaid plans. The first is a 50 dollar unlimited plan that includes unlimited talk, text, and mobile web. The 2 dollar daily plan offers unlimited talk and text, but charges 1 cent per 5KB of data. The 25 dollar plan includes 250 minutes plus unlimited text messaging. The 10 cents per minute plan offers that rate.


Customer Service: AT&T GoPhone offers customer service via a toll-free number or e-mail.

Contract: None


Payment Options: GoPhone offers nearly every payment option available. A credit card, debit card, or electronic check can be used on the website. Credit cards can be used to fund the account right from the phone (by dialing 611) or from a landline (toll free number). Cash, debit, credit, and check can be processed at an authorized AT&T dealer.


Text and Picture Messaging: Text messages with the 10 cent daily plan cost 20 cents each. All other plans have unlimited text messaging. Text messages packages are available, too: $4.99 for 200, $9.99 for 1,000, and $19.99 for unlimited.


Data Plans: Data services cost 1 cent per 5 KB used for plans that don't come with unlimited data. Three data packages are available with either the 25 dollar or 50 dollar monthly plans: 5 dollars for 50MB, 15 dollars for 200MB, and 25 dollars for 1GB.

AT&T also offers an International Long Distance calling Features Package, which costs 10 dollars per month and covers 250 minutes of calls to landlines in over 50 countries.

However, when new minutes are purchased, all minutes on that account are good until the latest possible expiration date.
