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=
Phone numbers:
AT&T customer service: 1-800-901-9878 or 611 on any AT&T mobile phone
AT&T's Port Activation Center: 1-888-898-7685

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

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.
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.

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

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
