Update: AT&T has cut the prices of the phones, they now start at just $4.99 shipped!!!

AT&T is finally making prepaid competitive!

AT&T’s Go Phone Linky

They have lowered the cost of a minute of airtime when you have no plan or contract to just 10 cents a minute! Previously it was 25 cents a minute with no plan!

They have also lowered the cost of the plan that allows for unlimited usage on days that you use the phone from $3/day to just $2/day only on days that you use your phone. Unlimited domestic and international text messaging is free with this plan.

No contract, activation fees, or Social Security number is required to purchase a discounted prepaid phone!

Rollover Balance lets you carry over your unused account balance when you refill before your balance expires!
Refilling with following amounts of money extends your entire balance for:
$15: 30 days
$25: 90 days
$50: 90 days
$60: 90 days
$100: 1 year

If you want to use a prepaid phone many of these phones come with airtime cards to start you off! Or you can use any phone on a regular AT&T plan by just swapping your SIM card!

AT&T is currently having a promotion for up to a $50 prepaid card with the purchase of a GoPhone! According to the fine print regular AT&T post-paid customers may be able to exchange their prepaid cards for 150 bonus plan minutes!
You can see which phones come with a free prepaid card below. The free prepaid airtime won’t show up in your cart but will ship together with the phone.

Instructions:

1-Add the phone to your cart

2-Click on “Step 2: add a plan” in the pop-up window.

3-Enter your zip code

4-Select either pay as you go plan, it doesn’t matter which one if you don’t plan on using prepaid.

5-Skip steps 3 and 4 in the pop up window and click on checkout.

6-AT&T adds a $25 prepaid airtime card to your cart but this card is not required to purchase the prepaid phone and can be removed if you desire.

7-Follow the checkout process.

here’s my question, can I use my iphone (unlocked form canada) with a prepaid chip and pay $2 a day for unlimited calling? (will an iphone work??)

Do they have data plans?

Lastly: what are the downsides of using this plan?? as opposed to regular at&t plans? (currently overseas a lot and I’m still paying $50 a month just to maintain my #)

thanks

jewkugel

Would these cell phones work with Cellcom Israel or do they have to be unlocked? Also can I just buy the phone or do I need to buy service with it?

Sam

@jewkugel:
Just get it unlocked and you will be good to go. Easy as pie.

juda

if i want to use in israel what phone do i need? also if i want to use for emails wich phone? what about for web? what are costs of data plans in us with at&t?

juda

chachem balaileh

what’s the diff between At&t adds a $25 airtime card and by some phones it says includes $15 airtime

Menach

Anybody know which of the phones listed can be udes in Israel. Also, what is the best simcard plan for Israel.

Thanks

AsherO

Are you saying I get $50 of airtime with the purchase of a Nokia 2330 for $8.99?

Dan/Ctownbochur

@chachem balaileh:
The $25 airtime added to your cart costs $25 and can be removed if you want.
The phones that say they include airtime come with it for free and is shipped with the phone. The free airtime won’t show up in your cart.

@AsherO:
No, the phones that I wrote include airtime come with $15-$50 of free airtime.

The new prices is not so good for everyone…

Ex. I have the old $3 a day when used unlimited voice, i use it mostly for a voicemail box and daily texting, (i have a text message package) once in a while for calls (yes i need unlimited for the days i’m using it for calls) untill now i was charged the daily $3 fee only on days used for voice calls, when texting it cost me only the text, voicemail is retrevied from another phone so its free.

On the new $2 plan u are being charged daily fee even on days u did not make any calls once u received even only 1 text message,

also the find print says u are also being charged daily fee when only calling ur voicemail, i don’t know if that means even when retrieving it from another phone or only from that phone

Dan/Ctownbochur

@Anonymous:
You do not get charged $2 on days you receive a text message. Only on days that you send a text message.

And presumably you only get charged $2 for checking your voicemail from your phone. I’ve never heard of getting charged for a voicemail call made from another phone.

can I purchase the nokia 2330 & use it for my regular plan? because my cell phone broke.

Dan/Ctownbochur

@bg:
All you need to do is put your SIM card into the new phone!

THNX ALOT!!!

The LG prime is coming up as $99.99 not $89.99.

@ menach I did my research after having the same query as yours. In order for a cell phone to work in Israel it needs to be these four things: 1) GSM works with a Sim card 2) unlocked 3)compatible with GPRS 1800 MHz 4) tri-band or quad-band. This said most cheap phones prob wont work. After looking up the phones listed in the article above it seems that the cheapest phone that would work is the Samsung Magnet as its quad-band and compatible with 1800 MHz. The ones prior to that are 1900 MHz and/or dual-band. I hope this article will help anybody with this question! Feel free to comment on this.. If you hear or see any good deals for phones that work in Israel let me know!
As far as good plans in Israel ….If your not planning on using your phone more than 150 minutes a month I would recommend Talk ‘N Save’s plan for $10 a month with a $50 rebate after 10 months when using your own phone. For more minutes you have the option of getting the kosher plans which a really cheap….to call other kosher phones. But to call non kosher phones its like 12 cents a minute . I personally have the ‘army plan’ which I think is the cheapest and most flexible plan out there. You pay 100 shekel first month and 20 thereafter for service. The first minute is 29 agurut thereafter its 19 and texts are 18 agurut. If your interested in this plan you can email me @ jewkugel@gmail.com and I will provide you with my contact’s number. Good luck!

Price drop on some of these phones, e.g. 2330, 2720 etc.

@dovid:

I too have been traveling a lot, lately I have been out of the country more than I have been here. I finally ported my number to 3Jam (3jam.com) and use the ATT Go $2/day plan when I am in the US.
3Jam forwards my calls to my foreign cell when I abroad and to my ATT cell when I am back. They also forward text messages.
Good luck.

@jewkugel I’ve used Dual-band phone from the US in Israel for Orange without any problems. My phone in Israel now is the Nokia 2680

yosef

I heard of an awesome long distance plan for israel …0.015 cents per minute and if the Israeli caller holds on as the US caller hangs up and calls back (a local number) then the call is free! For more details you can email me @ jewkugel@gmail.com

Common Cents

Firstly, is there a way to get more than 3 phones?
I ordered 3 last week and then I tried ordering more it automatically cancelled my order, I tried a few days later and it cancelled again. I tried again around a week later and it cancelled again.
Any ideas?
This price is too good to let go.

question

whats the dif. between tri band to quad band

shliach

I`m coming in for the kinus from out of the country and need a phone, i am thinking to get the Nokia 2680 (New)- $79.99 Now just $24.99, Includes $30 Airtime!
but i have 2 questions,
1. is it for sure going to come with that $30 airtime?
2. how long is that airtime valid for?

thank you

Dan/Ctownbochur

@shliach:
You can see which phones include free bonus airtime by looking at all the phones on AT&T’s Go Phone page and click on “buy a gophone”

I think the airtime should be good for 90 days, extendable if you buy another refill.

shliach

@Dan/Ctownbochur: thanks

yosef

@wax of the ear and it’s moldy: @Menach: did you see my reply?

yosef

@wax of the ear and it’s moldy: is it the ameracan version or Europe version? as stated in this website they make two of the nokia 2680 ..it would be very surprising if the american one works here as its not even 1800 mhz its 1900 and dual band…check it out http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_2680_slide-2337.php

Steve

If my regular AT&T phone is broken, can I purchase a “pay as you go” phone and transfer my sim card into the pay as you go phone to use as a new phone, as opposed to paying over $200 for a new phone, through my plan?

Dan/Ctownbochur

@Steve:
Sure!
