Note: Originally, I had a video for this, but since I just reinstalled XP (yet again), the drivers currently aren’t on it. Rather than waste my time trying to do this for a quick video, here’s my text version.

So you have a phone with AT&T but have no idea how to check your minutes? There’s always the option of calling and waiting on the phone for about an hour, potentially wasting those minutes. Here’s a quicker and easier solution.

It requires a single text message and that’s it.

In your phone, type *(star)646#(pound). Altogether: *646#. You can also save this as your contact in your phone book in case you ever need to use it again.

Once you do this, hit your call button. It will say a message like “Thank you. Your message is being processed” or something like that. In a few seconds, you’ll receive a text message stating your minutes for that month, the day it is, N&W (nights and weekends), and a URL for more information.
