I activated my SIM, verified my number was ported successfully, and it won't let me add prepaids to my account because "no prepaid exists with that phone number". Really hate AT&T's website, I'm giving them about 24 hours before I say fark it and re-up with T-Mobile. Super disappointed at how clunky/outdated their website is, and their lack of online chat support unless you pay for it is... well, outdated.
Then they tell me I need to get a refund since they charged me the $300 when I activated, and go to an AT&T store to get a new SIM so I don't have to buy a new one. Drive there, get a SIM, get home and LOW AND BEHOLD - I CAN'T ACTIVATE THE MFing thing. Chatting with them - now I have to call and request a refund of the SIM they screwed up on, order a new one (hoping to god they don't screw that up), and wasted a trip to an AT&T store.
I should have known better.....

While ordering online, I got an error saying number cannot be transferred. I called AT&T Prepaid customer service (800) 901-9878 . It looks like they are aware of online issues. The agent was ready to setup account and port over the phone. However, he needed a SIM card which I didn't have. So the next day I got the AT&T prepaid SIM card from Walmart (cost $10). I again called customer service number but this time got a different agent who said the promo is a online only and wont be able to apply over phone. I called the number again, got a new agent who was able to help. He setup my account and initiated the port. He mentioned that I need to pay $300 upfront. When i asked if I could buy refill cards and pay next day, he was ok with it. The port was confirmed in about 30 mins (Link: https://www.att.com/port/lnpEntryWeb.do)
Thanks to OP for sharing this deal and everyone for sharing their experiences! This is a very helpful forum!
Edit: I did not give my credit card to ATT in the whole process. While filling online form, I got message saying my H2O number cannot be transferred, so I did not submit. Everything was done over phone with customer service.
My question for you is, do you think if I can go ahead sign up the prepaid account with ATT and buy the prepaid card (from Sam's) and load them to the account now and wait until next week and I call them to start the porting number over
Thank you

=============
note sometimes
For ANDROID if you can't send text messages with images and you are manually setting the APN parameters, the problem is caused because your keyboard adds a space after a comma. What should be APN Type - default,supl,mms is entered as APN Type - default, supl, mms See the difference? You have to delete the space that is automatically entered after the comma! Presto! Problem fixed!!
As I understand it though, we can have this rate for as long as they feel like giving it to us, which means next year, if it's still available, we could theoretically renew for another year. I think this is the more likely scenario since we're locked in, unless we choose to unlock ourselves and go for that $40/$50 you mention.
My gut feeling tells me they'll let people that signed up for it renew. Anyone who never signed up is obviously locked out of this promotion.
