A GoPhone is an AT&T prepaid, or "pay-as-you-go", cellular phone. AT&T lets you pick a calling plan and preload minutes either by using a credit card or checking account. In addition, customers can also prepay and select data and text messaging plans to accompany their calling plans. Users can prepay by the month or by the minute.
Selecting, loading and activating a GoPhone is a fairly simple process, and can be done online. Below are step by step instructions to activate and enjoy your new GoPhone.
