AT&T offers the option to change your wireless number. If you decide to change your number within 30 days of activation, you can do so for free. However, if you’ve had your service activated for more than 30 days, there’s a $36 change fee.

You can request the change online through your myAT&T account, at an AT&T store, or by contacting AT&T directly. When you change your number, your voicemail also changes, and AT&T can’t transfer your messages, so be sure to note down any important messages before you switch.

After you get your new number, you’ll need to share it with the people you want to have it. Anyone calling your old number will get a message that it isn’t a working number. You’ll also need to create a new voicemail greeting. If you have an iPhone, you’ll need to sync your device with your Apple ID if you want to use Visual Voicemail.
Lastly, you’ll need to update the wireless number for your user ID, update your marketing and privacy choices, and update your number in TXT-2-PAY, if you use it.
Please note that all these costs and procedures are subject to change, so it’s always a good idea to check the current prices and procedures on the AT&T website or contact AT&T directly.
