Deal Details
Apple iPhone XS models (including large capacities and Max variants) are all $199 in-store at Walmart as of this weekend. Definitely a YMMV since these are not showing up in online inventories.

NOTE: Brickseek is showing "NO RESULTS" and Walmart.com is saying "Out of stock" for all SKUs (I checked them all). However, all 4 of the stores I checked in-person did have inventory. This seems very unusual, but I purchased a 256GB XS Max for $199 this afternoon at a store in my area so there are some models out there.

Walmart listing (shows no inventory; see note above) https://www.walmart.com/ip/Apple-.../109707311

No contract/commitment required, but I believe these are only setup to work only with AT&T. I have AT&T so I haven't explored this further.

Clarification: No AT&T account info was needed to checkout. I just asked for the phone at the electronics counter, paid the total, and walked out. I charged the phone, swapped the SIM from my existing phone, and was up and running.

Same thing happened with me with pixel I had to wait for cellphone guy. He said "no you need new phone line or existing line to buy phone". I said I wanted to buy phone in full but ass didn't want to sell it to me. Didn't mention warp that time but I don't think that turd would do it even with warp.

Anyone have luck with cellphone guys? and if so what did you say to get success to buy phone?

The Walmart cell guys are horrible

Has anyone been able to buy these without the contract?

You don't have to add a new line or upgrade. See attached notice posted at the cellular counter at my local Walmart. Just tell them you are doing device only purchase.

Would this actually work or are you just joking?

Something positive to share. If you can't get the associates to process your order email [email protected] and give store number and info. I received a call from a very helpful woman that is willing to schedule a time for me to pick up, or possibly from another store in the area. Contact OSL yourself, she called within an hour of sending the message.
May I know what your wrote in the email? Do you mention WARP or buying without activation? Thanks!

Sprint versions I think but I think you need to upgrade iOS firmware
