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.

(1) So it is not necessary to turn on the phone (though StraightTalk said it is activate, from checkcoverage.apple.com, Apple says it is Not activate.) and it is OK to leave the phone sealed.
(2) Is it because Straigthtalk knows the IMEI of the phone and will send unlock command to it at day 61?
(3) then sometime after 60 days, when the phone is turned on first time, it will still be automatically unlocked (though Wi-Fi to receive the auto-unlock command), is that correct?
If so, the phone can have two more "warranty" months counting from when I actually use it as a phone not a pad.
Thank you.
I had your post ready on my phone to show him that someone else had just gotten this deal yesterday. He clicked away for about 5 minutes then asked me to step to the register to pay for the phones. $97.04 each with sales tax.
Almost makes me want to buy more just to f with WM.

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.
Thank you very much.
Also this brings more attention to the problem with straight talk doing this crap vs people doing chargebacks.
This will make them have to answer and bring down their BBB rating if we all complain about this "deal" and horrible customer service from ST.

Thank you very much.
Update: It appears that purchase date info is flowing to Apple on these now and warranty starts from that date rather than the physical phone activation date like it has in the past.
