Final Thoughts

As you can see, there are numerous options when it comes to paying your AT&T bill.

PayPal is at least partially supported (i.e. for prepaid options) but unfortunately, Apple Pay and Google Pay are not unless you are using them in-store.

It is super important that you make timely payments to settle your AT&T bill otherwise a late fee can be charged by them.

Moreover, numerous late or unpaid bills can result in you being reported to the credit agencies which can affect your credit score and wreak havoc on your ability to secure credit.

If this happens then you may need to take steps to repair your credit or contract a credit repair company to do so, which is not cheap.

If you do have any problems with settling your bill, then be sure to reach out to AT&T to explain your situation and to see if they are prepared to enter into a debt settlement agreement with you.
