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.

I paid nothing when I merged. I don't know why my balance went to that odd number. Everything is due next billing cycle.
sounds good

I'm currently on AT&T PostPaid. I'm thinking of going this route but want to make sure I'm doing this correctly as I have 5 voice lines and want to bring them back together in the best way possible that retains the 17GB promotional data. Steps:

1. Purchase phones from Walmart and activate
2. Wait for bonus data to show on each line
3. Port AT&T postpaid lines to T-Mobile prepaid temporarily
4. Call in to AT&T prepaid customer service to port numbers from T-Mobile
5. Wait for bonus data to show once again on each line
6. Merge the lines into a multi-line account

Is this a good plan of action? Thank you.

That's the only part I'm skeptical of but I saw that some users had success on Howard Forums.

the worst can happen is that u will just have 8GB bonus, instead of 17GB....which is still good at 16GB total.

and one thing I noticed is that one of the lines i have with just 8GB...it rolls over the next month too!

I recently moved two family members lines to the 8GB + 8GB promo and ported numbers for them. During the process I noticed that the activation/porting reps created entirely new accounts for them which mimicked the original accounts assigned to them at creation. I think what is happening is the activation/porting reps are unable to select this Walmart exclusive plan and are just selecting the 8GB + 8GB version. Either that or the AT&T PrePaid system is just screwing up and not putting people back on the correct promotion.

That's why I wanted to make sure I was doing the process correctly for this promo because 16GB doesn't work for the remainder of users on my family postpaid account.

The Cingular flip is about $30 and is a nano. I didn't want to deal with flip and paid 5 bucks more for the Alcatel. Seems those getting 17GB are the ones leaving the SIM in the Walmart phone for longer than a few minutes.

I am experiencing a disaster...

If you are already on an AT&T reseller like Red Pocket, please be advised that they are unable to do a number change on your account.

I have 2 lines on Red Pocket.

For me, they deactivated my newly assigned phone numbers and sims that I had activated on the AT&T prepaid website after purchasing 2 phones from Walmart yesterday.

At that point, they then created 2 new accounts, but now the issue is that the sims from Walmart have been deactivated.

They are trying to reactivate those sims, but now I'm not sure I'll be able to get my 25GB promo.
