Deal requires purchase of an AT&T PREPAID phone from either a Walmart store or from walmart.com. It does not have to be a smartphone. The Cingular Flip 2 also works.
If you have no intention of using the Walmart phone and want to swap to a different phone, verify the Walmart phone you buy has the same size SIM card as the phone you want to use (most use nanoSIM cards these days). To be safe, use the Walmart phone until your bonus data appears on your account.
Online activation does not give you an option to port your number. It will only give you a new number based on the zip code you enter during activation. Try calling customer service to activate if you wish to port your number over.
If you activated your phone with a new number and wish to port your old number over to it after the fact, read the warning below:
Warning about porting after activation: YMMV Several users are reporting that they aren't receiving the 17GB of bonus data after porting their number over and only receiving 8GB of bonus from the regular AT&T deal. Many are getting the runaround and being told to wait the entire 10 days to see if the full 17GB shows up. At least one user has so far and still hasn't received it. AT&T has escalated their case and they're waiting to hear back (https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=
Phone numbers:
AT&T customer service: 1-800-901-9878 or 611 on any AT&T mobile phone
AT&T's Port Activation Center: 1-888-898-7685

This deal is valid until first week of September. Spoke with a ATT rep last night, she said this is a new deal and she will be following my account to see if I get 17 GB bonus or not because I changed the sim, phone and port in my number on the same day (7/3) I bought the prepaid cards. Still waiting for 17 GB bonus data to kick in

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

The bonus data is per month as long as you are on the $50 plan and per line.
Walmart $25GB for $50/mo: Available at Walmart In-store or Walmart.com only. Requires purchase of AT&T PREPAID phone & activation & payment on new line of service on $50 monthly plan. To receive 17GB of bonus data each month, you must remain on the $50 monthly plan and complete all requirements within 60 days of phone purchase. Once qualifications have been met, bonus data will be applied to customer's account within 10 days after activation and within 2 days after each qualified renewal. Multi-Line members are eligible. Bonus data is used before plan data and does not rollover. Not combinable with select other promotions and/or discounts.
I am wondering if I buy the lowest priced eligible phone from Walmart which appears to be https://www.walmart.com/ip/AT-T-P.../581538359 if I can swap in my regular phone after activating and retain the 17gb bonus. Doesn't say that the activated phone must remain on the line. I really can't jump on this though unless I know I can get the 5 lines/$140 cost like the AT&T 16gb offer.

Also, if I want to bring two lines of service, do I have to buy two different phones?
Last question, if I decide to add a third line later, in a month or so, does this offer apply to that line, too? Thank you

Each line is independent for the promo so yea to get 25GB on each you'd need to buy two phones.
