LMA Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Does anyone here use the ATT gophone prepaid plan? How much do you need to buy every 90 days? How is reception? Someone at Walmart told me I can just buy a $15 card every 90 days to keep the phone going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 You can check Att on line and see where their best reception is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tressa Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I use one - I've had it for over 4 years now. I've had no problems with reception. I pay $25 every 3 months because that way I can carry over any minutes that I may have leftover. I don't believe you can do that with if you pay for the $15 plan. $25 every 3 months is just right for me since I only use the phone if I really need it. This is what I do too.

jennsmile Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I am on an older plan that is no longer offered so ymmv. Last july I purchased $100 and still have a balance remaining like $13 or so. I don't use my phone often but there have been days where I was grateful I had it, like when I ended up taking my MIL to appt then to the ER and spending the night at a hospital. I had to call her kids, arrange my childcare ect. It was a blessing. If you purchase $100 you minutes are good for a year. You can always call and add minutes if you are out and about, I never by the cards, just call in my order. Reception is as good as ATT. Where I live ATT recpetion is terrible, in town it works great. We traveled cross country and it usually worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Resurrecting this thread because I am getting one of these for my mom. Questions: I thought that you just had to buy new minutes before your old ones expired. So, you have to get $25 every 3 months? Or $100/year? Can anyone point me to the link with the rules on this? Thank you. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mktkcb Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/packages/prepaid-packages.html this should give you the info on it. I only see a 25 dollar card for sale, not a 15. 10c a minute. You should look at platinumtel. They are 5c a min., 2c a text, 10c per mg of data for their prepaid, and they have $10 cards that are good for 90 days. Basically you can get 800 min for $40 and a year of service. Best deal out there period. They use the sprint network. Right now my phone is tmobile where I can get 1000 min for 100 dollars and a year of service, but I just got my husband a platinum tel. It works great, and I'm switching when my minutes expire. I can get an android phone with the prepaid plan as well if I want to. http://platinumtel.com/pages/compare-prepaid-wireless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) THANK YOU! I will look. They use Sprint AND you can use the Sprint phone you already have! I am going to test this out and activate a Sprint phone I haven't used for a while and see if I can get it to work. https://www.platinumtel.com/plans/realpaygo It says you can even use your iphone if it is Sprint based.
