Did you run into trouble later when you actually did the port?
Did you run into trouble later when you actually did the port?
A few years ago I wanted to switch from straight talk to att prepaid. Couldn't do it bc I was on the registers in the att version Sim card.
Had to Port to T-Mobile and then to att prepaid.
Keep us posted if you went directly from cricket to att without any problems.
- Ordered SIM/$300 plan with CC on Monday 9/9
- Received SIM on Wed 9/11 - decided to wait to activate
- Started at 12:30 on Thurs 9/12 and completed around 2pm - with constant effort
- Had checked that my port from Republic Wireless was 'confirmed' (on Republic's end all was entirely smooth)
- Inserted new sim in powered off phone and powered up - recognized att network - but nothing active
- Went to online link as suggested above - entered all my input and was told great activated go to manage account link
- As others have experienced - it did not recognize my phone number or pin or 'forgot' password
- As suggested above finally got to 'chat' and requested to be connected with Port via chat. They said only by could be reached by call but that they'd have porting dept call me at my home number (landline) - a tech called promptly, asked what I wanted and then transferred me to Porting dept. The problem though, was while I could hear them, they couldn't hear me and they hung up. And trying to call the porting number back at 888-898-7685 or calling 877-426-0525 never got me to a live person. All responses resulted in invalid number/account/ and endless loop or referring me to go to an AT&T store.
- I got to chat a second time - with exactly the same result - porting person could NOT hear me.
- I got to chat a 3rd time and asked that they keep the chat open; when the tech person came on the line I asked that they also remain on the line until I confirmed that the porting person could hear me or have him act as an intermediary. The porting person could hear me while the tech person remained on the line and he put himself on mute while I completed the port via the porting person.
- After she told me I was good to go - I kept her on the line while I went to paygonline.com to create the account giving me number as account, and last 4 digits as pw and did receive a text with temporary password and was able to create the account and pay via credit card. I did not go the prepaid card route.
I am glad that I won't have to interact with AT&T prepaid for 300 days....Porting from Cricket to Republic was flawless. Porting from Republic (despite horror stories in the past since number can be perceived as landline) was flawless. But the AT&T side of things was less than stellar.But the feedback from others on this board gave me a good idea what to expect - and I allowed enough time and had all the info necessary to get it done. Thanks!
Update 9/13 - to add insult to injury - at 4am today received a 2nd charge to credit card for same amount. Both pending - I added a dispute note to today's charge.

1. placed the order with my cc for sim by porting in the number
2. received the sim and inserted into the ph and then activated the sim online
3. nothing worked. temp password retrieval was also not worked
4. called att prepaid(number was given by someone here. and she completed the port in and recevied text.and said fine to activate with prepaid cards
5. then I went online by creating the account and loaded my $10 cards online...
6. everything started working.
only thing was I had to call to complete the port in by the rep.
whats the number you called.
having same issue and called (800) 901-9878 mentioned in the wiki but cant progress without a phone number.
Since it was explained many times, it is probably a frequently asked question. It would be helpful if someone could add the process to the wiki.
Were there any additional taxes or other charges?
If you did not receive a bill, was your prepaid balance deducted for additional charges not accounted for in the amount stated during initial checkout?
