How to restore my ATT prepaid phone

Same phone number ( Edited as per Community Guidelines ) for 48 years died with the switch to 5G. I couldn't pay with a dead phone and couldn't change my login and password and after installing the 5g box you sent me and finally needing to buy a new $200 5g AT&T DECT6.0 phone setup it still won't work because I haven't been able to prepay. And I can't prepay because it won't recognize my ( Edited as per Community Guidelines ) phone number or let me log in. HELP!!!! So is there someone at AT&T I can email who can help me?

There is no one to email. You need to call. I'm assuming you have a wireless home phone, which must be activated prior to working, if you have activated it, it won't work period. If you have a past due bill that's another issue. Also there's no such thing as a 5G DECT phone. Activate your device this is an AT&T support link. This link is what others have done to activate their IFWA-40 wireless home phone. You'll probably want to contact billing to resolve that issue first.
