How do I move an AT&T Prepaid refill applied to the wrong number?
Answer
If the old AT&T Prepaid number is already inactive, the refill usually cannot be moved automatically. Contact AT&T Prepaid support with both numbers and the refill receipt; they may issue a courtesy transfer or credit while the funds remain unused.
Before you start: stop right away if…
- Only use AT&T’s official support channels—avoid third parties asking for PIN codes.

Check if the old line is active

Request a transfer or credit

Refill the correct number if needed
