    Convenient & easy to use for several reasons

    When my cell phone company relocated their services to another area I was forced to make a change to a new cell phone provider. Because I didn't want to go under contract again I researched and chose AT&T Go Phone and use the $50.00/month air time/air card. This arrangement has proven to work out beautifully for me. The phone was inexpensive and has held up beyond belief. The card allows me to use it for voice and text according to the phone I chose. I purchase two cards at a time so I always have one in safekeeping in case I forget to make the purchase each month. It takes approx. one minute to transpose the numbers from the back of the card into the phone, and AT&T is very good about sending a text reminder that the "payment is due", and immediate confirmation after the transmittal. The numbers from the card to be transmitted can be placed into the system at anytime, not necessarily having to wait until "payment is due", at which time confirmation is also made immediately. The phone has a convenient number to quickly text that confirms the amount of money/air time currently in the account as well. AT&T also allows more than one month of payment to be made into the system simply by transmitting another number from the back of a different card that has been purchased; thus a separate transmittal, but all very quick. This is a good little arrangement for my needs and would recommend it to others.

    This refill card is an easy way to add minutes to a prepaid AT&T GO phone. Scratch the silver coating off the back to reveal the PIN. Then using the phone, enter *888* followed by the PIN and then #. Hit “SEND” and the minutes are added immediately. One can also add the minutes online or by calling. The instructions say that for data devices, it has to be done online. This refill keeps your account active for 90 days.

    Good for what it is. Most inexpensive way to have a cell phone. Like how unused amounts roll over. Works for phone calls and texts only. Downside is you can't use it for data on a smart phone.

    Great phone for beginners and seasoned users

    Was forced into making a change when my provider left our location. Didn't want to go under contract again, so thought I'd try the go-phone and pre-paid airtime as it was very reasonable. Surprisingly, the phone is very easy to use, has good features, is dependable and extremely easy to pre-load with having several options for that process. The text messages from AT&T verifying paid air-time and reminders to pre-load are of value. For the price of the phone, if it is dropped or lost or damaged, it won't cost hundreds of dollars to replace. The Best Buy insurance on it was very reasonable and worth the few dollars. Downside is if one works with camera/pics, extremely small to see. The letters on the phone for texting and dialing are also very small and would prefer them a little larger. Also, the phone is loaded with apps, some of which are free for 30 days then a monthly charge. I for one am not interested in those features, so it's a non-issue. (I accidently ordered Navigator, but was extremely easy to cancel before charges were applied.) This is a great phone for a beginner or someone older like myself who isn't interested in a smart phone and only needs it for basic phone calls and minimum texting. I've used blue-tooth with it and is nicely compatible. Battery charge will hold for several days, but I have always charged nightly, this is a non-issue. For the first few days it was auto dialing numbers, but I set the lock feature on it to resolve, another non-issue. The type of case I wanted isn't available, so I'm using an old Blackberry case which works beautifully. I would highly recommend the go-phone with the pre-load airtime process.

    I have always purchased a $25 At&T GoPhone refill. It has enough value to last me a few months since I do not really make calls, but text more. I add the refill card on the AT&T website and it is easy to add the cards value to my account and to buy feature packages for texting or data easily there as well.

    It is convenient to use these cards for refilling a phone when you don't want to keep a credit card on file. The new 911 add on fee (tax) surprised me but the Best Buy representative explained it.

    I think this is the best for teenagers! I use it for my teenage son because if he happens to get in trouble or anything else I'm not obligated to pay for the next month as I would be on a contract with At&t.

    This 25 dollar card is good for many different plans. We use it for the $2 per day only on the days you use it, and the card can last up to 90 days. Great for people who don't use the phone much

    The At&t phone card is easy to load on my phone. I like it now that the taxes is taken out when you buy the card. At&t let you know when your money is applied to your phone. I have no problems so far. It's a good card to use.

    We don't use a lot of airtime so paying by the minute plan works great for us. No monthly bills or commitment- just pay as you go! Great as a n emergency phone. Just watch out for expiring minutes.

    This is your typical prepaid card. I do like that the AT&T prepaid cards are easy to apply to your account by just typing in *777*PIN# SEND. There is no need to call into AT&T customer care.

    I have a Nokia Smartphone, which I love. I use these cards for voice (250 minutes per month) and unlimited text only. The Nokia 520 has GPS with downloaded maps (so no data usage when travelling and off of wifi), as well as a way to download some free mixes (can download when connected to wifi, no data usage when listening). I love the phone, and these cards just make it easy.
