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.

The alternative was to get the phone at $149 + a $35 plan and that came out to be around $185. Yeah, no thanks.
Not wanting to have to drive out there again the next day to buy the 3rd phone, I opted to drive to a different Super Center that was like 5-6 miles away. That Walmart just gave me the phone and told me to go pick out one of the plan cards on the shelf. There was a 30 basic plan, but the clerk said don't get that one since a lady earlier got that one and it didn't activate the phone so she ended up having to buy a $35 plan again. So I got the $35 plan. The clerk rung up the phone and the $35 plan for a total of $99. Damn, if only I didn't have task to do in the area of the first Walmart, I would have driven to this particular Walmart since it was closer to home rather than my work place.
Well at least the one good thing to come out of this is that all three phones didn't have any problem activating and now shows that my unlock date is 1/10/2024. So I'm all set with no problems like others in this thread.

With NY tax about 99.xx each
Your rep is trying to upsale you to gain more commission
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!
You can't just buy a discounted NEW iphone without a plan and expect it to be unlocked on it own. It doesn't work like that for this deal.
2 phones, 2 active plans, and 2 separate numbers..
Obviously things can change, so I wouldn't try to give some blank statement that it will always work, but that has been my experience.
