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.

Ok I called them one last time. Agent confirmed promotion is based on IMEI. She looked up my device history and set my IMEI to the Walmart phone since I've been using my iPhone and told me to put the sim back in the Walmart phone and wait another 5 days. Ughh don't think I can use that thing for that long.

She did mention they are having issues with the promotion and said the Walmart phone is no longer needed after the promotion is applied. Now, could it be true? Who knows....

At least it sounds like they are aware of the issues going on? One can only hope.

When 5G becomes widespread we are really going to get crazy data allowances if we are already seeing numbers upwards of 25GB on 4G.

I mean like 300GB, or just real unlimited after a while, things like that.

5G has enough bandwidth they are going to pronote it for home internet use, which average home uses 190GB/month...

BTW I'm not sure who uses this much data. I'd say I can get by on 3GB/month and I'm a heavy phone user. I'm on 8GB Mint Mobile (love the hotspot and blazing 96mbps speed, unfortunately coverage is less than perfect for me) and I dont even come close to using 8GB, maybe 4-5GB tops...

People who use a lot of internet annoy me because they're most likely doing something nefarious (like in home user case, I trapped one guy whining about data caps into admitting he torrents entire seasons of HD pirated anime 24/7 (which is basically the only way to use up some of these caps) but doesn't actually watch them, just wants to have them). That said, I can see one exception to use a lot of phone data, if you ran a hotspot while driving for several kids in the backseat to watch YT on devices, and you drive a lot.

unlimited data = still get throttle on speed after certain GB of usage. all carriers apply this rule.

We could try changing the IMEI on the account ourselves. When you log into your account, go to my device, update device, and put the IMEI of the Walmart phone in there. Then see if anything changes in a few days. Putting the SIM in the Walmart phone should do the same thing, but I'd rather not use a flip phone for a few days.

That's exactly what I'm about to try because I switched to the flip phone then back to the iPhone. I lasted 5 minutes with it, hah.. Nothing to lose. Will report back.

Edit: website gave me an error when I tried to do it. Classic..

Now they are telling me I don't qualify for the extra 8GB (regular promo) because autopay wasn't activated at a corporate store. WTF?

But I enabled it over the phone during the activation and funding of the account? Nowhere in the fine print it says it must be done at a corporate store... or did I miss that part?

I escalated my call to a manager who assured my I will be getting the Walmart promotion. She said the IMEI only matters during activation. They are experiencing delays apparently.

I don't know what to believe anymore

Average home uses only 190GB a month? We don't do any torrenting at the house and are using 2500-3000GB (2.5-3TB) a month. Thats just streaming YouTube, Amazon, Music, Hulu, Twitch, etc. plus web browsing. For example my GF's MacBook Air used just shy of 500GB and all she does is YouTube and web browsing (and she works 40 hour weeks too so thats just usage while shes home).

I'm sure the fact that you got a new number instead of porting helped a bunch, hah!
