Pay As You Go is a prepaid calling plan from AT&T Wireless. The prepaid plan means the user pays upfront (at the beginning of the month, adding minutes throughout the month as needed) and no contracts are signed. The phones do not have to be activated the same way post-paid, contract phones need to be activated. When you decide to upgrade your phone, you can simply purchase a new Pay As You Go phone (instead of having to wait for eligibility) and replace the SIM cards to continue your service on the new handset.
Instructions
1. Purchase a new "Pay As You Go" prepaid cell phone from an AT&T store or authorized retailer.
2. Remove the cell phone from the packaging. Refer to the User Manual and remove the pre-installed SIM card.
3. Insert your SIM card from your current "Pay As You Go" prepaid cell phone into the new cell phone's SIM card slot.
4. Power on the phone. It might take a minute or two for the new cell phone to recognize your SIM card and connect to the cellular network. Once connected (the AT&T logo will appear), you have successfully upgraded your phone.
