How to Tell if You Have Any Texts Left on AT&T

Check your remaining text message balance with AT&T Star Services.

AT&T Star Services provides a customer access to essential and user information via text message without the need to talk to a customer service representative or log in to their wireless account online. A user can find the status of his bill, minutes used, pay their mobile bill or determine their data usage all by dialing a short-code using their AT&T cellular phone.

Instructions

1. Open the "Phone" or "Dialer" app on your phone if you are using an iPhone or Android based phone. For non-touchscreen phones, use the phone's numeric keypad.

2. Dial "*DATA#" which is also *3282#.

3. Press the "Send" or "Call" key. Confirm any notifications that may appear on your phone by pressing "OK" or "Dismiss."

4. Check your text messages for an official message from AT&T, detailing data usage, how many text messages have been used and are remaining to be used for the month's billing cycle.
