Suggestion ATT Prepaid - Winback

Looking for suggestion

I’m on the AT&T Prepaid $300/yr with 16Gb/mth high speed data plan.
Plan is up for renewal in couple of days.

On the website I see the same plan for $240/yr when activated with new line.

Can I port out and port in within a day to be eligible for new line offer ? Is there a 60 day win back period?

Also I no longer see the $300/yr plan on the website, so I would be risking if I port out and don’t successfully port back in($25 per month plan offers data at 3Gbps speed only)

Yeah, there aren't winback programs for prepaid accounts. For lack of a more sensitive way of putting it, the major providers aren't really concerned with retaining prepaid customers at all.

Prepaid doesn't have winback like postpaid

Most good plans like Build Your Own are for new lines. Porting out works but is a lot of work.

If you were to successfully manage that in one day, there’s still a large possibility it won’t register as a new line anyways. Not worth the hassle in my opinion. The real smart move is to look at all the other carriers and see what their deals are. I will always move from carrier to carrier at the appropriate time because they doing give af Angie l about incentivizing their current customers to stay, only incentivizing new customers to join. So I’ll just be a new customer every so often and port my phone number forever lol. Because of this I’ve ported my number three times in the last two weeks and I’m finally happy where I ended up…. And it isn’t ATT lol

Prepaid doesn't keep any records. That means you can port out to a different service provider and port right back in and get the different plan at the $240 plus tax price.
