I did this deal during the summer. There are a lot of problems with opening a new account with AT&T - something about their credit check system not fully verifying my identity and address when done online. You can go to a store but that means paying an extra $30/line activated, and the reward has to be done manually by the store rep. based on the order number that was rejected. There are lots of similar experiences reported on Slickdeals and Reddit.
I did the deal with 2 throwaway lines because I wanted to test out some things about AT&T's postpaid unlock policy. The phones I brought over were an iPhone SE that has an unpaid finance balance from a previous owner and a Galaxy J3 bought on prepaid that was never used. I thought maybe the phones would be eligible for unlock after being put on a new AT&T postpaid account. AT&T did not approve my unlock requests. But I still wound up making about $240 in the process. I cancelled by lines on the day the unlock requests were denied, which happened to be the last day of my 2nd billing cycle.
Their minimal mobile share plan gives you 3GB of shared data at about $40/line for 2 lines not including taxes. If you only do 1 line, it's $50 plus taxes for that line. I paid about $95/month for 2 months when I did this deal over the summer.
I was able to port 2 lines in. Credit check was not a problem. However, when I tried to activate the SIM and port in, I tried 'SIM only' and 'phone' and both gave me error messages... somehow, though, it was successful in porting. I am on AT&T now, very good signal in my house. I guess this will covers 4-5 mo of service.
Did this and already got our cards. It took about 3 or 4 days from the email to receive the cards. I was surprised the entire thing showed up that fast and that the codes were received that fast to start the process. Disappointingly, the performance was and is way under when compared to Visible on our area. In fact, I had to resort to Visible for working remotely several times while we did not have cable. City performance was another story although we did ran into issues with upload speeds (less than 1 mbps on both an Iphone and a moto phone). Hope you get yours soon!
