AT&T PREPAID® E911 Information
E911-Related Charges* on AT&T PREPAID Accounts
E911 fees are charges imposed on the customer pursuant to state or local law to finance Enhanced 911 services in a particular jurisdiction. AT&T is required to impose these fees on its customers and to remit the collected fees to the relevant governmental bodies. The proceeds from these fees are generally used to recover state or local government costs related to building and operating enhanced 911 services.
*AT&T may also be required by state or local law to impose other charges against its customers to finance other regulatory mandates. To the extent AT&T is required to impose these charges against its customers and remit the collections to the state or local governments, it shall do so in accordance with the law.

Point of Sale/Time of Replenishment Charges
Legislation has recently passed in several states and is being considered in other locations to assess the E911 fee on prepaid at retail point of sale. This means that the fee is charged each time the customer purchases a prepaid card/pin or replenishes their prepaid account. Additionally, the National Conference of State Legislators (NCSL) has adopted a resolution that recommends states adopt this point of sale methodology.
The following E911 and other fees are assessed at point of sale/time of replenishment:
