Got $49 289l and it can't be activated online or with human intervention. Was told "it was scanned wrong"

Straight Talk is exclusively a Walmart product but when you tell the people at the register or at customer service for Site to Store pickup that it needs a validation scan you get :h . . they just don't have a clue.

The online sale was on and off for about a week. The sale was active most of the time during "Cyber Week".

I did manage to order the 289L (AT&T version) on Thankgiving day. When I picked it up and said it needed to be scanned they went :h so I asked to speak to a manager. She said it was prescanned at the warehouse. :R The serial number would not go in online so when I went back the next day there was a nice young lady at the register named Jen that knew exactly what to do. (wish she was there the previous day!!!) She did a return, sale, ... oops wrong price, about 10 feet of register paper later it was validated at the Black Friday price. I haven't fully activated it yet to try it out.

I DO expect it to be speed limited.
