Transferring from AT&T Wireless to AT&T Prepaid?
Your AT&T Wireless account must be active for 30 days before you can transfer. It can’t be past due, combined with another service, or a business account.
You can’t switch to AT&T Prepaid® during the two days before or four days after your bill period ends. That’s when we calculate your usage for the month.
FYI: AT&T Prepaid accounts can’t be tax exempt.
