Use the following link if you are interested in picking up this really nice device at an incredible price. Its the AT&T GoPhone version. Its now available for $19 at some locations too.

The link below shows the number in stock and price of the device at each store.

One just down the street shows 4. I may go get one to have a virgin (and a back up)

Thank you very much for the heads up!

Picked up one yesterday but seems like unlock could be a problem. AT&T got intelligent now they are not unlocking phones which has not been used for 6 months of prepaid service!

Not too worried about that part myself, since I use GoPhone... but I understand that.

Just wish we were the customer and not the merchandise being sold on most of these types of phones...

Ya i was unable to get carrier level unlocking. I tried on both of my devices and AT&T stated they needed to be active for 6 months. But I use AT&T MVNO service so its a non issue for myself anyway

Note for clarity: carrier level unlocking does NOT affect rooting the phone (other than making it a pita to update).

Just wanted to note here that its been discounted to $19 at some Walmart locations which should trickle down to all of them if they continue to be in stock at a location. Keep checking the link I provided daily. I just got 2 more today at $19 as backup phones

I used DC Unlocker to get NCK code to unlock when putting a Sim in. The instructions were a little confusing for me but all you need is the NCK code.
From slickdeals:
This phone can be unlocked for $5 via dc-unlocker. This is a true unlock as the software actually reads the unlock code from the phone itself (which is pretty impressive).

If anyone wants to try this go https://www.dc-unlocker.com/buy and make a account, deposit 4 euros = 4 credits. Download Hisuit on your pc which will download all the drivers. Plug in your phone, on your phone in the dialer type *#*#2846579#*#* and go into Background settings/USB port settings and switch it to Manufacture Mode.

Back on the computer, Download the DC-Unlocker and open it and set it to "Huawei Phones". Click auto detect and it will show your phone information. Login to your account and click "Read Unlock codes". It will display all the unlock codes for your device instantly(it reads them off your device). The NCK is the network unlock code you are looking for.

**Follow instructions here:

I will read through the threads here for rooting and roms. I would like to get rid of the AT&T bloatware.
