Can't activate new prepaid service with port in

You do not create a myATT account.

When you activated your prepaid service you automatically created a pay go online account for prepaid

Login with your 10 digit number, and the alphanumeric password you created when you activated your service

Re the $300 plan

&T Prepaid $300 for 12 months Promo (ADVICE WHEN SIGNING UP)

After signing up for AT&T Prepaid and the $300 promo offer and having issues with activation:

1. Sign up via website and fill in all appropriate information including porting info, shipping address, credit card, etc. SIM card may be shipped overnight via FedEx.
2. Once you receive your SIM card and have your phone ready, call 866 975 0050 to activate via phone and have your AT&T Order # handy.
4. Explain you'd like to activate your service and provide phone number, SIM card and IMEI. The agent will then ask you for payment to activate service.
5. \*\*THIS IS IMPORTANT\*\* To avoid getting double charged, tell them you've already provided that when you ordered and tell them they can do this via your AT&T Order #. Provide that to them and do NOT provide a credit/debit card to them.
6. If they claim they can't do this, ask to speak with a supervisor or someone else. Your account will be activated and within 30 minutes or so the payment of $300 + taxes will get charged to your credit card you provided during the initial order. Your service will not work until this payment is applied, but in my experience it took anywhere from 5 min to 25 min.
7. Once this is complete, you can setup your account online and manage your account via the website:  [https://www.paygonline.com/websc/loginPage.html](https://www.paygonline.com/websc/loginPage.html)

If you provided a credit card number and end up getting charged twice, call the AT&T Payments/Refunds line at: 866 608 3007 and they will look up your account and process the refund.

Dont get me started...

Too late

AT&T's double data 16 GB offer is false advertising (IMO)

Nowhere in this advertisement does it say that it is 8 gb, and then after you use up your 8 GB they will give you 8 GB more as bonus data. By the way AT&T doesn't roll over your 8 GB of bonus data so if you use up your 8 GB every month thinking that you have another eight to use, and that whatever you don't use will roll over, it won't. I have read every bit of documentation AT&T has online for this offer, its not as advertised.

I was never given the option to create a password when I activated service.  I put in the SIM card, clicked the activate link that was sent to me, entered the SIM number, IMEI number and zip code.  At that point got the 'Your SIM card is active' message and that I need to add funds to myAT&T account, when I select continue I am asked to login and I never set a password so I select the option for New User and ask for a Temp password that never arrives. I also have no service at this time so it was never fully activated. 

Follow directions on my second post

Thank you @formerlyknownas , your post with the steps worked, although you were right about the payment, they are still saying I owe $300, but at least my number is transferred now. 

They also only gave me 8 gb instead of 16 but we are making progress.
