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.

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?
yes the phones come with the sim cards pre-installed in the slot already.

Did you swap the Walmart phone right after activation by any chance?
Yes, after activating online and porting over phone.

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.
Thank you for your response. I am planning to Port-IN my number.

Per some of the posts in this thread they suggest calling the AT&T number to activate the phone and also port in the number before funding the account with the $50 plan then keep using this phone for few days until data posts before I plan to switch the phone to my favorite iPhone.

That may be your best bet. Please let us know if it works out for you.

I swapped the sim card immediately after activating. I received the 8gb bonus a week later. I called 611 yesterday and the first guy I spoke with didn't know anything about the separate walmart promotion. I escalated to a supervisor who said this deal will only work if the IMEI on the account matches a phone sold by walmart, and to get the additional 17gb every month the same walmart phone IMEI has to be active. she admitted it wasn't mentioned in the T&C.

The fact that it's not mentioned in the T&C makes me want to file an FCC complaint but is it even worth it?

Got lucky with my 5th call. He manually added the add'l 9 and created a case matter going forward. I really hope it'll be fixed and i don't have to call in every month and pray I get a sympathetic and competent rep. He too confirmed it was the IMEI.

I did swap the SIM immediately after activation and i have not ported number and will prob not. GV is working for me. Rep did say there is no set time frame for when/if I decide to port but who knows.

Also, does anyone here know if one can activate the phone and get a brand new number then wait few weeks and then port-in an existing number into the network?
