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=

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

I just went to my local T-Mobile store but this was a bad idea because they charged me $15 for a SIM car kit. In the future I would just go to my local Apple Store and get some T-Mobile SIM cards for free then do it online and have the ports take place instantly. You'll need the SIM card number and the IMEI from each phone.
Since you have users in different states you could ask them to all go to their local Apple Store to get a T-Mobile SIM card and then have them send you the number so that you can use that for the port. That way they can use the SIM until you port them back into AT&T PrePaid. I would also recommend you have each of them go buy a device from Walmart and do the same with sending you the IMEI of the device and the SIM card number so you can activate and allow them to use once you port back in.
Thanks for renewing your plan. We've added 17GB of bonus data to your account. Bonus data does not rollover. Be sure to stay enrolled on the $50 plan to continue getting bonus data every month. Enjoy!
now my Promotion bonus data pool is 33.8GB 😍👍
the thing is that i just started this line - so not sure what they r talking abt "renew plan"
Am I doing something wrong or is this just and in-store thing?
I don't live too close to a Walmart so wanted to double check before trying to head out to a store

I will say the Nokia 3.1A device I purchased for $89 is actually a usable budget device. It just came out this month and has plain vanilla Android with only a few ATT apps as bloat. For under $100 regular price I don't know of a better phone I have ran across. I know it is subsidized because the 3.1 unlocked is $200

I funded the plan before porting and this is the second time I'm going through the whole process due to AT&T's inept CS and dumb prepaid system.
If this doesn't work out I guess I will go back to Teltik (T-Mobile). It would be bummer because I really want to try AT&T.
