I suggest ordering online. There's no need to look for a sim card.

I don't think Walmart has different policies in different stores, do they?

They get no commision if you buy a sim and activate later.

Well, you are in luck! PM can come very close to your ideal plan.
Skip this promo, go with the $25 plan (there is the permant $10 reduction) that has 1Gb and you have what you want, the only loss is the relatively small reduction from 1.5Gb to 1Gb of data.

Well, I didn't realize that! That would have been a better deal for me!

It means you have to activate a new line. Yes, you qualify.
I am not positive but you should also be able to use her referral code to get an extra (one time) $10 off. Every little bit helps 🙂

Sorry, but to qualify for a promotion, the terms of it need to be followed while the promotion is active.You can ask but I doubt that it would be added.

No, your number is safe for up to 90 days after the expiry of your last paid period. At 90 days, if you have not reactivated the plan by making a payment, the account would be deleted and your phone number gone.

The first month is $40 and there's no autopay funds to use until the renewal.
This promo takes the $10 off at activation and then adds $10 credits 5 more times. The $2 Autopay gets added as a credit for the first credit card payment as well. So yes, it boils down to $28 plus tax though will be $30 plus tax up front for the $40 plan.

Right -- so the card would be charged $40 initially, then you'd acquire the $12 of credit, and the next 6 months charge would only be $28?
Your 2nd month would be $2 less because you get autopay credit for 1st and 2nd month.

Are you referring to the $10 credit for using a referral code to activate? It can take a couple of days to show up in the account.
Not sure if it was you or not, someone posted a couple of days ago saying they didn't get their $10 credit for using a referral code but the three other phones they transferred to PM did get theirs. The consensus reply was the first new account like.y didn't use a referral code but then the next three accounts used the first new accounts referral code. I don't recall seeing a response back again. Not you?

It's a good referal opportunity, with enough time to let people consider it compared to the recent 48 hour deals.
My dad activated my mom's phone yesterday, D'oh! But good for his own if he jumps next now. 🙂

Use someone's referral code; you will receive a $10 credit. That's the only way.
