1) 1-877-430-2355
2) Press 2 to Activate Device
3) Press 2 for a New Number
4) Follow voice prompt to enter IMEI, ZIP code, create PIN, etc. When asked by the prompt if you want to "add to an existing account", say "No". If you purchased a plan with the phone, it will recognize this and automatically activate the SIM for the plan.
When the voice prompt tells you to power on the device, the instructions were incomplete and unclear. If you've never activated a phone before here are the steps:
1) Attached to the box for your phone is the associated SIM card in a pouch; remove and punch out the nano-SIM.
2) Using the SIM tool in the iPhone box (or a small paperclip), pop out your SIM card tray and insert the nano-SIM.
3) Re-insert the SIM tray into the iPhone and power on the phone.
4) Go through the setup process; I recommend connecting to WiFi when prompted to make things go faster.
5) Your phone should be activated within a few minutes of being powered on with the SIM inserted, assuming you went through all the steps in the automated phone activation.
I'm not going to waste my time going there, but thought I'd help others. Be sure to call the local Walmart you are going to, ask if they have the phone in stock (both stores said online they didn't have stock, but both stores did have them in stock) and ask if they have the WARP system for activation. Good luck everyone.

I went home put sim card in the phone and activated over the phone number on the red card inside on back of phone. and the $35 pin code for service. Texted Unlock to 611611 and it replied with Automatic Unlock date of 1/06/2024
I asked my question because I'm trying to get a full picture of what to expect when visiting a Walmart, whether I need to talk to a manager or ST rep, and whether they have WARP or not. I'm trying educate myself to be prepared for all scenarios.
Did you run into any difficulty activating the phone at home? What personal information were you required to provide during activation? Same info that Walmart asked in-store?

Seems I got the answer from @oregon14. Thanks!
Quote from garymeter48 :
So I should use the SIM that comes with the phone, and purchase a $10 activation at TracFone? My order is only the phone, no plan included.
Exactly, it's what people have been doing since last summer when price first dropped at Walmart. Huge thread on SD.
Just select "I have a TracFone" & follow the prompts on the website.
They don't notify about unlock, you need to check sim status at approx 60 days & phone will show no sim restrictions.
