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.

Suppose to unlock 1/9
Edit
Requested ATT unlock then popped in an ATT sim now shows unlocked.
Thank you very much.
Wow, that is pretty slick. I wish I did that .
Mine just unlocked a few hours before the 15th which was the date the text message said
Another odd thing is when I text "unlock" to 611611, it say... "welcome our records indicate you are using your own device. If you are experiencing some issue, please contact the manufacturer where you originally purchased the device...." I purchased device from Straight Talk web site with $45 data plan for 30 days.
When I check IMEI on that website I get" We apologize. Your device is not eligible for our Unlocking Program."

Call their unlock dept at 888-442-5102, not the porting dept. Explain that you purchased it as a new phone directly from ST, but looks like it was entered as BYOD. And have your IMEI number handy. If you get a clueless rep, just hang up and call back for another one. Don't get hung up trying to bang it into their head if you get a dumb one, as it'll just leave you frustrated. It may take a few calls, but you can usually get one who realizes what's up to take care of it.

Not sure . Should I take to Apple Store or something ?
Unlock may not be delivered because phone is dead always ??

I removed trackfone SIM, inserted old and unactivated ATT sim. Phones restarted and showed NO SIM RESTRICTIONS.
