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=

AT&T customer service: 1-800-901-9878 or 611 on any AT&T mobile phone

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

one of my lines, just has the 8GB bonus. so last month I still have 2.8GB remaining of the bonus 8GB. today is the new cycle. of course i have 16GB total for normal data allotment (never touched the last month 8GB).
however the interesting thing is that I see 10.8GB for the Promotion data....i thought it says NO ROLLOVER, but seems like it is roll over from last month to this month
BTW, if anyone's interested, I was getting 60-70Mbps in Toronto roaming on Bell with the AT&T prepaid plan.

some users are reporting that after 17gb are added, it's not using the bonus data but instead their 8gn continues to be used.
