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.

Wish there was more than one Walmart near NYC (besides Valley Center/Green Acres) that doesn't require a toll.

I went to the store today and talk to the wireless guy for 40 minutes. But he would not let me buy without upgrading or add a new line. However he said if purchased with activation the iPhone XS max will be about 150 paying with Verizon. He was nice but at the end I went home empty handed.

After we buy the full GSX report, how do we verify that it is Reseller Flex locked specifically? My report shows locked, but I don't see the specifics of the lock anywhere. Thanks in advance!
It will show flex policy on the initial activation/lock policy on the report. US Reseller Flex Policy is not locked until first inserted SIM of any US carrier.

Can you please tell which eBay unlock service you used?
first go to website sickw dot com and enter IMEI and search for FREE iPhone Carrier. Make sure it says something on the lines Locked to Verizon Policy. If you haven't booted with any sim then it would be US Flex Reseller policy and will change to Verizon Policy once you boot with verizon sim.

After that just go to ebay and search verizon iphone unlock service xs. I got one at $1.5 before taxes. Seller had sold about 25 units for this listing. Me and my friend got 3 phones unlocked that way in less than 24 hours

Ok. I haven't booted the phone yet. Trying to find out what's the easiest and best way to get it unlocked.
I am with Cricket, if I put cricket sim, will it work right away?

Or use an ATT SIM (active or inactive) and unlock for $0 via the ATT unlock portal as a non-customer. https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/

Yes, I have 11 phones, but I did quite a bit of legwork to figure it all out along with help from this thread. Some will be used to subsidize the rest, but family will be getting upgrades as well.

I lucked into some really good and willing to try/helpful employees at two of the stores, which is definitely a rarity. I was calm, friendly and confident that I knew what the process was.
you greedy resellers really are some of the worst people on here.
