At&t cell phone? help needed!?

Question

I am eligible for an upgrade and it is greatly needed because I lost my phone. I don't have text and my dad said we might get unlimited text for the family plan. If I got it lets say tomorrow or the next day, would the texting be available that day that we sign up for it? or would it come when we refresh the minutes, like when we get the bill?

Answer 1

actually they give you a choice. You can either start the new plan immediately or until your next bill cycle.

Answer 2

If you got unlimited texting the same day you added it, then it should take affect right away.  

Answer 3

the texting plan will start the minute your phone is activated and the plan is changed
