@ATTHelpForums Thanks for the info.
But the biggest question I've seen about canceling prepaid is:
"I got a prepaid phone while I was in the US and now I've left, how can I cancel?"
It texts them a code to login to cancel, right? But they can't get the code since they left the country.

Any charges after the prepaid cancels if I get the prepaid service later on?

You'll have to pay for the service again when you sign up the second time (same costs as what it would be for a first time user).

Why can’t we cancel sooner? I can’t use it, so should be able to cancel it all out. Day 1, can’t port a number cause I can’t get to a store. I would like it closed before 60 days.

Bank or credit cards refund when services aren’t rendered, get someone on the line who got screwed by a prepaid company the same way even better. Kudos to them, for ATT prepaid is not the same entity as ATT postpaid. Which you can tell just by talking to a rep, who says they tell people to call on their website just to tell them to go to the store. Bait tactics for those who can’t get to a store are no good. Wonder how many just ate the cost, I will not since I paid my postpaid bill. ATT postpaid never required a store visit, not even to port in a number. But even clearer they are separate entities entirely when you can’t port an ATT number to ATT over the phone when you have the info ready. You prepaid folks get no chat option, no American reps, the added 20-30$ for postpaid seems worth it now LOL

Is there a solution to "I got a prepaid phone while I was in the US and now I've left, how can I cancel?". Right now I'm at that point and I'm expecting a new AutoPayment in some days even when I left the contry.

Hello,
I've had AT&T prepaid and auto-pay, but now I am outside US and I do not have account created. How can I cancel my auto-pay?
Thanks for information.
