cingular/AT&T prepaid cell phones????

[wen-tom]

Hi all, I am in the UK and have just bought a prepaid cingular/AT&T cell/mobile phone from ebay. The guy i bought it from said i need to dial 611 when i get to the UK and buy a top up card for it.
my questions are:

where can i buy top up cards in disneyworld? i will not have a car during my stay.

Will the phones remain active if they have not been used for a while or will i have to reactivate them when i get to the US? is this why i call 611?

sorry if these are silly questions

thanks for your help as always

we have a prepaid phone though t-mobile for ds, basically you have 90 days to use your minutes or you lose them unless you top off your phone which extends the minutes another 90 days with t-mobile once you have spent 100.00 total your minutes are good for a year before they expire or you have to extend.

You need a sim card to activate the phone, did your seller provide that ?
You can use a computer, a prepaid card , or call to top off the account.

HI,
I have a sim card already with the phone so i just need to top up.

If i can do this by calling AT&T when i get to the US that would be perfect
