It looks like Verizon may be locked
XS MAX IS UNLOCKED.
XS is FLEX RESELLER LOCKED.
Why?
-XS MAX didn't ask any sim to be inserted to activate. where xs needs sim, it will not work as wifi device without sim. my friend tried with tmobiel which was scanned as sprint at walmart and it locked to tmobile. i tried different sim in that phone and it doesn't work.
- i tried unlocking with att as non customer without even booting the phone and got approval in a minute but for XS, got IMEI mismatch. so my guess is xs max was unlocked out of box. to be on safe side, i inserted cricket sim in xs max and it was fine. then i checked with verizon and then with tmobile. all worked fine.
-later i checked online report and it shows unlocked.
one other person posted his xs max was unlocked which makes me believe xs max comes unlocked through walmart. well, atleast for this deal.
You do NOT have to have a Verizon/att/sprint l plan or service for activation. Nor do you need a new line. It's total bs. They can sell the phone for $199. Demand to speak to a supervisor or manager and explain Walmart's policy and these companies forcing you into a contract for commissions.
>>>Read my comment back a few pages on getting success.
I got one this afternoon pulling the needing a line crap, the supervisor agreed & the WM Mgr walked away.

*Don't put MVNO sim in in because the phone will get locked to that carrier. I know couple people bought phones at Apple, paid full price. But they put boost sims in when they first started the phones and their phones got locked to boost mobile. They had to stay with boost for 12 months in order to unlock the phones
*The easiest way to get this type of phone unlocked is insert a normal att sim in and request unlock through att website
*I saw someone mentioned in this post that the phone is unlocked because he/she didn't have to put a sim in to go through activation. Well, Apple changed that months ago. Now, You don't need a sim to go through activation
