We all run into situations where we may need more time to make a payment. We may be used to paying certain bills by a certain date but unexpected events may make honoring this habit difficult from time to time. As a result, AT&T offers eligible customers flexibility in terms of making payments. The procedures to reschedule payment aren't difficult, it just requires following the step by step directions online to reschedule a payment.

Go Online

Rescheduling a payment is a process that you can do yourself online. Log in to your account and select make a payment. A payment calendar will appear showing you all of your eligible payment dates. Your payment options will be based on your eligibility. Select a new payment date from the dates offered on the calendar. After you have chosen your new date, click submit. The next screen that appears will show your rescheduled payment date along with a confirmation number and the balance of your account.

Can All AT&T Customers Make Payment Arrangements?

Although AT&T offers flexibility when it comes to rescheduling your payments, this privilege isn't offered to all customers. It is extended to all customers who meet AT&T's eligibility requirements. However, it should be noted that prepaid customers don't have the option to reschedule payments. Their due dates are pre-set and can't be changed. Failure to make a payment by your specified due date would mean that your services are terminated until you pay, for prepaid customers.

Can You Cancel A Payment Arrangement?

There are situations that may arise that make it difficult for you to honor a payment arrangement. In these situations, you can cancel. You can cancel your payment arrangement by logging into your myAT&T account and choosing the option make a payment. Your scheduled payment amount will appear with the option to delete it. Select delete and then confirm your cancelation by selecting ok.

Other Options to Consider

AT&T customers also have the option to split payments as well. In addition to rescheduling an appointment, eligible customers can split payment during the rescheduling process as well. This may eliminate the need to reschedule a payment. However, if you still need to reschedule, you still have that option as well, even with the split payments. You also have the option to select other as a payment method. This simply means that you will need to pay online, or at a payment location. You can also pay by phone. Any of the methods are acceptable as long as the payment is made by the scheduled due date.

Verifying Your Payment Arrangements

You may wonder if your rescheduled payment has been noted by the system. If you have any questions regarding your payment arrangements, simply select myAT&T then billing and usage. You will then have the option to select payments and history. You should find your rescheduled payment arrangements in your history.
