Deal Details
Saw a new sign at Walmart that looks pretty interesting. There's no dates on it, and I can't find any info on the deal anywhere which tells me that someone probably screwed up and put the sign out too soon....but anyway.

Seems like a pretty good deal for AT&T network:

$50/mo. but $40 with autopay:
- UNL Talk & Text
- 25GB High Speed Data then 2G
- Hotspot included
- Mexico and Canada roaming included

2 lines would be $70, 3 lines would be $100, 4 lines would be $120, and 5 lines would be $140.

Looks like this deal is only at Walmart - everywhere else has 16GB data offer and it requires autopay. This offer looks like it doesn't require auto-pay.

Been a while since I did prepaid. Can I buy the cheap phone and use my own device?

It it says roaming to Canada and Mexico included; I roamed into Mexico earlier this year as a postpaid ATT customer and that was nice.
With Metro or Cricket or even Boost, you can add their $5. Mexico plan and make unlimited calls to and from Mexico, including mms. So a $30. plan with Metro/Cricket is $35. and that's pretty darn cheap. Boost runs on Movistar network in Mexico (vs Telcel with Cricket/Metro) and has excellent coverage and data speeds in Mexico.

In looking at the At&t prepaid phone selection, these are all very entry level phones (except for the iPhones). Not attractive, but hoping a sim swap is ok with a better phone.

You do realize the double data promo is a general promo across AT&T? You could have literally signed up anywhere and gotten it. As long as you are on autopay and the 8GB plan.
this was months ago, double data promo was only happening thru walmart.

Right, but does this *specific* deal require you to use only the phone you buy? Like, is it tied to the IMEI or anything? Does anyone know?

I don't think so.. I switched to another phone a few month later... It worked.. so I don't believe that the sim card/phone# have to tie to the phone..

If anyone is shopping for a phone, I'd recommend the LG Phoenix 4. Got one earlier this year for 39.99, now 49.99. Only negative is that it's on Android 7.0, which I normally don't mind but I really like 8.0's pic-in-pic feature.

That's my guess, too. Isn't that more usually a CDMA or mvno carrier requirement?

To be safe, you can use the purchased device until bonus data posts to account(within 10 days). I switched my sim out right away and will see if data actually gets added to my account and report back.

Some phone choices...

Nokia 3.1a $89 - decent budget phone with Android Pie(Android One)
Alcatel idealXTRA - cheapest I've found as several stores near me $25 brickseek [brickseek.com]
Samsung Galaxy Express Prime 3 - found for $31 several locations near me brickseek [brickseek.com]

New accounts only? What is our strategy to get this deal for existing prepaid users? Port out and port in?

Are you able to port in your current phone number? I am currently on Cricket and I pay $70 for 2 lines at 5 gigs each. For an extra $10 to get the extra data and personal hot spot seems like a good deal.

Silly question... is AT&T coverage the same in areas whether you have their prepaid or postpaid?
