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.

They should not leave an order open in limbo regardless if purchased with a plan or without . On Monday they allowed you to purchase phone on their website and skip adding a plan, without any tricks. So I get it, if it was a glitch - they should not charge and cancel order within a day or two if they don't want to honor a mistake which was clearly the fault of their website
Not only did ST allow people to purchase, but they have now charged the cards without shipping out the phone.
It's super scammy.
If the price was a glitch and they don't want to honor it, that's fine. Cancel the orders. But never should they allow the payments to go through and then sit on the orders for a week+.
phones purchased with plans have not been shipped either for many many people
ST is messed up. They should process orders in order of receipt, regardless of whether they ship or cancel. They should not charge people for items not shipped
You are wrong!
my phone brought to my door by ups guy and then said, sender asked to return....
I was on the fence about wanting to spend $100 for something that I didnt really need, but for another ipod, I couldn't say no. But I also knew this deal is one of those 'fark ups' from the start.
Does anyone here actually think you can produce or logistically sell even a 5 year old phone for $50? Yeah we can play business math and say its not so bad because x y z--- but its almost like a 100% loss for somewhere in the chain.
I ordered 1 phone wed morning with plan and its still remote processing. Some other poster here seem mad but I don't see problem waiting a week or 2. 150 pages + 3k comments + Deal is dead online. Along with the "no plan ordering error". There is a internal review of ever single order going on right now. Someone in the marketing department is having some bad days for running this promo/not preparing it correctly.
This deal probably hit #'s that are like their total yearly online orders; or something stupid in a few days.. Before anyone cared to even look or stop the robots from adding hundreds of stock every AM and sending orders.
They set the rules.
I am in the same situation with no luck for the last 2 days.

In store you can get it for 49 with a minimum 35 unlimited plan. Yes, you need to activate and use it a bit in the first month, keep SIM card in, and not even renew the second month to have it be unlocked after 60 days. Just don't take the SIM card out before 61-62 days, and turn off auto renewal when buying if they make you sign up so you don't pay for the extra month by accident.
I drove to my nearest walmart that had this in stock and i acquired 2 phones for ~$96 each.
Will use the first month plan and then put them away and hope they unlock 2 months later!
Thank you once again for giving me some info!
