As of a Jan 2016, At&t has changed the way that you get the phone.
The online system is broken for now, so you need to go to a At&T store, buy a phone outright with the card, and send them a picture of the receipt.
You will still need to sign up for the $45 prepaid plan, but no credit check is required.
They do not even ask to see your SS#
This should be much better if you want to use the phone on another network or sell it (or possibly just return it).
The report I got said that there is no requirement to have 15 days of service, but I wouldn't rely on the rep that said that until I confirm it is true.
If you plan on using the phone, before turning on the phone for the 1st time, request that AT&T unlock the phone at
www.att.com/deviceunlock/ (for Customer Type select 'Non-AT&T Mobility customer'). If you activate the phone before requesting the unlock, your account will have to stay active for 60 days before AT&T will unlock the phone (there are
reports of the phones being unlocked after closing the account, regardless of service time)
The old way it used to work, (and how it probably works now as well).
If you are on AT&T Postpaid plan:- You'll be able to login to your At&t Account with the link Citi sends you, and purchase any No-contract phone. Pay with this card.
- Activate it on your plan, and use it on At&t for at least 15 days.
- Citi will reimburse you 1-2 statements later for for up to $650 of the phone cost, you pay all taxes.
If you are not a AT&T customer:- You will need to pay for the 1st month service (min ~$50)
- You will get a 2nd Hard Pull from AT&T to open a postpaid account.
- Plenti: Before opening the Att line, make a account with plenti, and link to your AT&T account here. You should get 2,500 plenti points for opening a new Att Line (current deal until 11/26/2015), plus 400 points for using paperless billing, which you can redeem for $29 (I think this is how it works, someone who has dome this please confirm and delete this comment)
