AT&T is offering a tax season promo on select prepaid phones, with some options available for just $9.99 for a limited time. Annual contracts can be a real pain -- and some require multi-year contracts when upgrading to the latest phones. However, AT&T wants to help you get a 5G smartphone without an annual contract through its prepaid plans.
Note that you will need to activate a new line, which costs a minimum of $35, plus tax at the time you buy your discounted prepaid phone. We've got more information below, from which models are on sale to how AT&T's prepaid plans work.
There are a few phones to choose from, including two $9.99 options from Motorola. However, for slightly more, you can grab a Samsung Galaxy phone instead.
- Motorola Moto G 5G (2026): $9.99 ($149.99 without a new line)
- Motorola Moto G Play (2026): $9.99 ($119.99 without a new line)
- Samsung Galaxy A16 5G: $29.99 ($169.99 without a new line)
You'll need to activate your phone within 30 days of your purchase, or your service will expire, and unfortunately, that will not qualify for a refund. Once activated, your service period will last for 30 days. It's important to note that your phone will be restricted to prepaid service for six months after activation.
Also, while the Moto G Play did not mention having to enroll in autopay, both the Moto G and Galaxy A16 do require you to sign up for autopay in the same transaction.

Why this deal matters
Phones can be expensive, both for the hardware and the plan. If you're looking for a flexible, budget-friendly option, consider one of these prepaid options through AT&T. But hurry, other models have already sold out so these offers could disappear at any time.
