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.

Rebate after purchase of a plan = You bought the phone first, then you pick a plan and after that they give you a discount.
Each state has different ways for taxing of purchased goods.
The rest that I ordered Monday morning with Plans and without Plans are all stuck on Pending remote Fulfillment.

Also, I've never given a phone to someone until I've verified that it's unlocked through sickw. I wouldn't want anyone doing something like inserting other SIMs that might mess something up. They always just sit on a shelf for the 60 days when I go that route.
Is there a way to check the unlock date after activating using this method?
(I bought mine from the Straight Talk website with the $45 plan)

Edit: The link below gives some examples of how such differences work based on a traditional "discount" versus a discount applied as a "coupon". Obviously, it's mentioning rules for a particular state, but a number of states follow similar guidelines and charge tax based on the original value of an item, depending on the way it's discounted.

It seems like the deal with these phones is working similarly to the example mentioned about soap powder, with Walmart automatically applying a $100 "manufacturer coupon" to the phone purchase and then getting reimbursed for that from ST.
"Example 2: A box of soap powder retails for $1.50. The customer applies a "manufacturer's coupon" worth $.50 toward the purchase of the box of powder. The dealer would collect $1.00 and the full tax due on the $1.50 sale from the customer. The manufacturer would redeem the coupon from the dealer for $.50."
That's added on to the regular sales tax & might make up the difference - some states are pretty high.

Note that you'll likely lose whatever ST plan you purchased with the phone if you go that route, but I understand that it might be more desirable to do it that way if you just want to use your existing number and don't care about having some other random number for a month.
