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 speed / performance of the phone itself is on par with the 13 Pro Max for most basic uses … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEDhR7a

Now, February 5, service is off, phone settings still showing locked.
I texted, got "Great news!!! Your device is already unlocked."
update: I switched at&t sim card, unlocked now
Anyway, once you activate the phone on their end, you'll want to verify that the correct IMEI for your phone shows up as "active" on your account and is assigned a phone number. As long as that happens, the unlock should be triggered, even if the phone itself has not been touched. Note that it can sometimes take a little while for it to show as active on their end, so just give it a little while if you complete the process but don't see it showing as active yet.
