Before installation
Prior to your service activation, be sure you have the following:
- Phone self-installation kit: After ordering your service, track your AT&T installation kit at ups.com. You'll receive it a day or two before your service activation date. The kit includes instructions and equipment (you'll need to provide the phone). Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the contents of the kit.
- Account information: You'll need your Primary Member ID, password, account number, and four-digit passcode for installation.
- Passcode: You'll receive a four-digit passcode by mail, email, or from a representative, depending on how you initiated service. This passcode is separate from the password used to sign in to myAT&T.
