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.

Today was day 10 with no sight of the additional 9gb after getting 8gb bonus 6 days ago. Previous calls to CS only resulted in them telling me to wait 10 days. Today, they told me there's an issue with the promotion applying. They'll be researching, contacting Walmart, and calling me back tomorrow to figure out what's going on. Let's see what they say if/when they call me back. 🙄

Of all the places Ive ever shopped ANYWHERE, Ive never seen such a lazy bunch of more incompetent worthless employees as I continuously encounter at the Walmart electronics departments. They must all be under strict orders to act as stupidly as possible to dissuade customers from buying their products. And judging by the comments of others standing in line to be helped, its a unanimous sentiment shared by the masses.

So if I get in on this deal and things go south, can I take my phone to any AT&T store and ask for assistance? Or will have have to return to Walmart and deal with another one of their brainless cretins?
i highly doubt that AT&T store will help you. if you go, go to a corporate store, maybe..

and probably yes have to deal with the walmart brainless...

I am an existing At&t prepaid customer. Called in to At&t prepaid yesterday to get this deal. They had me provide them the IMEI and ICCID #s from the box of my Walmart purchased At&t prepaid phone and told me that they would transfer my existing At&t prepaid # to the new phone (which they did while I was on the phone with them), and that I should see the 17gb bonus data in a few days. Call dropped as soon as my phone number transferred to the new phone.

I called back and was told by another rep that I would indeed get the 17gb bonus. We shall see. Highly skeptical.

No bonus data yet. Activated and ported in last Friday in the early afternoon. Praying to the data gods.

Edit: I called 611 just now to see what they would say about the bonus data and once again, the agent was not aware of this Walmart deal. He suggested I stop by Walmart but not sure if that will do any good..

Yeah I'm done checking every day. I will probably return the Walmart phone this evening and try to get the extra 8GB I guess. I don't think there's a way to get refunded for the actual plan since it's prepaid (?).

By far one of the worst customer service departments and billing systems I've had to deal with.

Per one CS rep, this failed promo appears to be an issue with the IMEI not matching since I swapped the SIM. I suspected this might be an issue. If someone got this promo by bypassing that IMEI requirement, then not sure how that happened without att&s manual intervention.

Did you swap the Walmart phone right after activation by any chance?

Folks, I have been following this thread for a week or so and now I am totally confused as I am ready to pull the trigger.

I am currently with Xfinity Mobile and would like to port-in my number to this Walmart AT&T plan....I do know that I need to first purchase the phone from walmart which I did and am about to pick it up in the next hour or so...
Can anyone please kindly clarify the recommended next steps to get the whole 25 GB data post?
Also wondering if these phones come with a sim card inside?

It depends on what you are trying to do..

If you don't need to port your number, it's pretty straight forward. You buy the phone at Walmart, activate and fund the plan then keep the sim card in the Walmart phone until the bonus data is added. That's what I did the first time I tried it and received the data after 2-3 days.

If yo are trying to port your number, all I can say is good luck. There so much misinformation given by AT&T reps that it's tricky to know what's right or wrong. I'm inclined to recommend you wait for people to post updates on their deals or for AT&T to figure their crap out.
