How do I check if I am eligible for a phone offer on an AT&T account?
Answer
Sign in to the official AT&T account for the wireless line (or ask the account owner), report the lost phone if it was an AT&T line, then check device deals, upgrade eligibility, or bring-your-own-device options in myAT&T. Internet-only service does not automatically include a free phone; eligibility depends on the wireless plan, credit, and promotions.
Before you start: stop right away if…
- Do not share one-time passcodes or account PINs with callers who claim they can unlock a free AT&T phone.
Follow these steps
Secure a lost line first
If the missing phone was an AT&T line, sign in to myAT&T or dial AT&T’s official support from another phone and use Suspend / lost device options so others cannot use the line.
You should see: The lost device is suspended or flagged, and the line is protected.
Check wireless upgrade eligibility
In myAT&T, open the wireless line and look for Upgrade, Devices, or Offers. Review any installment, trade-in, or promo terms shown for that line.
You should see: You see whether that line is eligible for a new device offer and at what cost.
Clarify internet-only vs wireless
If you only have AT&T internet, open wireless plans or visit an official AT&T store to see new-line phone offers. Internet service alone usually does not grant a free handset.
You should see: You know whether you need a wireless line or promo to get a phone.
Order only through official channels
If eligible, continue checkout in myAT&T, the official AT&T app, or a retail store. Keep your number (or transfer) using the official keep-your-number / transfer flow if switching devices.
You should see: A replacement or new phone order is placed under the correct account.

Extra tips
What to look for: myAT&T wireless lines list; Upgrade eligible / device offers; lost/stolen device tools; whether the person is the account owner
Before you change anything: Confirm who owns the AT&T wireless account. Report a lost phone through official AT&T channels before ordering a replacement if the line is still active. Do not share account passcodes with unexpected callers. Keep internet and wireless accounts straight—they can be separate.
