No rollover and I think no data in can or mex so a big downgrade if you travel to those two countries. I think the speed after 16gb faster than old gf but that is it. also 10gb of hotspot the old gf no call out for hotspot you could use up to limit. so this new plan is severely worse IMHO

FYI Taxes and "Fees" not included. At checkout they will only charge you for the sim card, then upon activation will charge you the $240 plus taxes and fees you may or may not be expecting. Taxes and fees vary by state.
Not saying it isn't a good deal. I had AT&T annual prepaid for years and was happy with it. I just had to figure an extra $18 for taxes and fees into the calculation.

I tried for almost 5 days, probably 20 times a day, and couldn't get my card to go through. I tried around 10–15 different credit cards, and every single one was declined.

The only thing I could think of was my billing address. Since my address has a unit number, I wondered if AT&T's billing address verification wasn't matching it exactly the way USPS formats it.

I called my sister, who already has AT&T Prepaid, and asked which credit card she used. I used her card and her billing address, and it worked for me about two days ago.

I contacted AT&T customer service multiple times, but they weren't able to help. They just kept saying their system was having issues. I checked Reddit, though, and people have been reporting the same problem for years. A lot of people believe it's caused by AT&T's billing address verification being overly strict.

From what I understand, once you have an AT&T online account and have a credit card saved to it, this probably isn't an issue anymore. The problem is that you need to get through the initial signup first.

One AT&T manager suggested going to a store, buying a $15 SIM card, creating the account there, and then selecting the prepaid plan afterward. I also found a Reddit post describing the same workaround. I didn't want to go that route, though. Since my sister already had a credit card on file with AT&T, I used her card and billing address for the initial payment, and it went through without any problems.

I know this all sounds weird, but I'm just sharing what I had to go through to get it working. It was incredibly frustrating, especially since nobody at AT&T seemed to know what was actually causing the problem.

Yeah and kicking their 10-15 year loyal customers to the curb by force retiring our plans and breaking their uncarrier promise with no rate hikes. We're one of the TMO refugees looking at other plans.

Frankly I should just move our two line mobile share data plan over to these (I have one already in the GF plan for my work number).. paying about $135 a month for two lines, this would be less than HALF. We really don't use more than about 4GB a month COMBINED.. wish I could still get the 55+ plan but now that it requires one to ALSO buy FIBER to the home, that $70 dual line plan isn't really great.
