I like, a lot of people threw this receipt out! I tried to take it back to Walmart they said we don't know if you stole it, I'm like ur accusing me of stealing these really One mgr said we could return and resale so we could get activation code, so next day a very heavyset woman mgr oozing with I got the power right didn't help but call me a thief I was so insulted I called her a name in Spanish and left! I was so angry. Is anyone out their that can help me get an activation code rca and the 1800 number cant help



thanks

Quite frankly I've never heard of a new tablet requiring an activation code, and I have setup many new tablets, phones, etc, although I've never seen an RCA Voyager device. They should just straight into setup, connecting to a WiFi network, registering your preferences and details, etc. There's FRP(Factory Reset Protection) but this doesn't sound like that.

You could take it into consideration as a lesson to never throw the receipt out on things like these since the receipt is also required for warranty.

Is it something that the tablet manufacturer and Walmart does? It's an anti-shoplifting measure, and the activation code is printed on the sales receipt? Are RCA Voyager branded tablets exclusive to Walmart?

If you used a credit card they should be able to look it up on their computer (through the cash register), or you could find at least proof of purchase online or with your monthly statement. But if you paid cash for it and threw out the receipt, good luck. Why are you trying to return it?
I have the number code from the receipt. My prob is finding out what micro SM card to use with the tablet and where (exactly) in the unlocking process to put the code (from the cash receipt). Any clues?
