Pay-as-you-go Plans

  • Daily plan: $2 per day for unlimited minutes and texts. You are charged only if you place or receive a call or send a text. There's no charge on days you don't use your phone.

  • Per-minute plan: 25 cents per minute, 20 cents per text message.

AT&T's pay-as-you-go plans don't include data. Any data used is charged at a rate of 1 cent per 5 kilobytes. On the $2 daily plan, you can buy a day data pass for $1, which gives you 100 megabytes to use for the day.
