Asks are you a current ATT customer, then ya click no create a new account for me but after ya click continue a couple times to continue to mobile setup, it wants to know if ya want to transfer an existing phone numbers(s) to this phone. If I'm wanting a new service then I dont have an exsistin number. I can not uncheck the yes. The activation fee is $30. But if I want to buy a phone straight out pay all cash I still can't get one and the one time servive fee has increased by $15. so no longer $30 now $45.. Whats the deal? I pay for in full I shouldn't have any problems with a new purchase.period. I'm paying for phone via best buy saved gift cards so I can't obviously goo to ATT and use BB GC's there, and my monthly bill payment would be ACH out of my bank account. My total monthly payments wouldn't be no $90. a month cause I'd pay for 2/3's of the phone upfront to keep my costs down. Need honest answers.

Not available in store nearest me. I want to start a new ATT account either pay for iPhone in full or pretty much most of it I have 13 gifts cards for BB. One of my issues are that if I pay in full the first time activation fees is $15. ($45.) more than verses making payments fee which is only $30. I have a iPhone 6s Plus the people I work for bought me the phone but I’m wanting to separate from them . My number will not be able to be ported over cause my bill is on their bill. So I need a new phone as well as a new number. I checked online and BB website said phone I want is not available in Jackson Tn. Creating a new account is a must for me. BB website also says I can’t create a new account even though it is an asked question. Again I can’t use my BB gc’s at ATT store had I known I was gonna have such issues getting a new phone from BB I would not have gotten all these cards!
