Getting the Free Phone:

If someone on DDF goes through the process now, please report on what parts of this Wiki are still accurate. Thanks!


Everything Below this line is outdated info!
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)

I got the card, signed up for service. Kept opened for 15 days and canceled.
I was left with a $55 bill, rep that canceled my service didn't want to issue any credit.
So i reached out on Twitter and a rep called me back. She said the bill should be prorated for the 15 days of service, but she went ahead and wiped the whole bill!!

Wait to confirm when you get your next bill. I had two att reps who told me they would wipe my entire bill of $55 when I only kept one day of service. Next statement came in and the $55 was still there, plus a $5 late fee for just one day of service.

Spent much of the afternoon trying to get untangled from AT&T...their reps put they heavy pressure on me NOT to cancel. I had to hang up on the first one when he gave me a hard time because HE was not familiar with the Citi deal. The second rep agreed to cancel, but then when I didn't get an email confirmation of that - I called back and third rep told me I was right - that the second agent hadn't followed through. She cancelled my account, but the email confirmation is worded strangely. All it says is that the phone # they assigned me is no longer affiliated with the account. Whatever...lol - what an afternoon.

Of course, no one would give me a refund and on top of that, stated that I needed to give them 30 days notice. I need to go back and read the fine print - so, in other words, they expect me to pay for 2 months of service.

Oy. I didn't need to deal with that as I never activated the phone in the plan that I bought, I used my existing plan.

In better news, I dropped my phone after buying it, and cracked the screen. Also the phone was giving me other issues (battery life etc.)

I finally got Citi protection to pay for a new phone as the t&c does not state who chooses if I should repair or replace. Eventually they just told me to send them an invoice for a new phone.

I was able to buy the international unlocked version of the phone, didn't need to deal with ATT again.

Why Can't you just port out the number and it will  automatically cancel the line ?

Depending on which carrier you're porting to, you might have to pay.

You can port to a sim card and not add a plan.
