Having gone through a literal 6 hour ordeal in my local Walmart store...these are not always shipped properly activated when purchased online. My first order went absolutely fine, but the second turned into a nightmare (AT&T suspended the line after a day, citing a point-of-purchase error). The local store should be able to fix it, however it's not a guarantee (in my case they returned the phone but couldn't resell it to me because their POS wouldn't scan it - wound up having to sell me a new phone from in-store). And because the e-receipt given to you by Walmart doesn't include the IMEI/SN of the phone you won't be able to get it fixed by AT&T.

Anyone have confirmation if this will work with Cricket?
I didn't activate using the AT&T SIM card that came with the phone. Just popped in my Cricket SIM and it activated in a minute or so. Call, text, data - all worked without any issue.

The first was scanned and shipped properly from Walmart.com. Popped my existing SIM into the new phone and everything works just fine.
The second was NOT scanned properly but shipped to me regardless. When I put my other existing SIM into this phone it did activate according to Apple's server and I had service. After 24 hours I could no longer make/receive calls and had no data connectivity.
AT&T explained that because the retailer did not scan the phone properly they suspended the line/SIM that was last inserted in the phone (my best guess is their system attempting to recognize a stolen phone). They offered no other contingency than taking the phone back to Walmart to have their wireless department "rescan" the phone so it could be properly activated and to have my service reactivated.
Ultimately my Walmart store couldn't perform this voodoo magic, so they wound up returning the phone I bought online and sold me a new phone that was in stock at the store. I still had to call AT&T and have them re-activate the line after I gave them the IMEI of the new phone, now everything is working.
Simply not worth the headache, you're better off going to the AT&T store if you want this exact phone/carrier. And for what it's worth I did actually go back to my local Walmart today to see if they'd do a price adjustment (since I went through this calamity 2 days ago). Wouldn't budge.

Everything I've read online on reddit and other places indicate this is no longer doable. My friends have tried with Cricket phones and other ATT prepaid phones since then and have been unsuccessful every time.
I'm skeptical that this is still being done.
