- Ignore unexpected texts with payment links; they are often phishing.
Follow these steps
Open the official AT&T prepaid payment page
From a browser, go to AT&T’s official prepaid pay or refill page—not a link from a random text.

Enter the number and ZIP and pay
Enter the prepaid wireless number and ZIP code, choose the amount, and complete payment with your card.
You should see: A confirmation number shows the payment succeeded.
Restart the phone if service was suspended
Wait a few minutes, then restart the phone and test calling or data.

Use retail refill as a backup
If online payment fails, buy an official AT&T prepaid refill at a trusted retailer and apply it with the instructions on the card.
You should see: The refill applies and the line is active.
