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.

Whoever posted that sickw website to check imei, it's pretty good. I got three phones. Two max and a regular. I got reports off eBay and the sickw site shows the same info as well.

I can find both the S9 and S9+ but both are showing $249 through AT&T, bummer.

wish I could have scored an upgrade on my Samsung S7. Also needed a new iphone for grandson as his mic doesn't work. Wish it was easier to do.
Anyone have one they want to sell?

The contract with the 3rd party sellers in Walmart ends on 1/31 so they better get to figuring it out!!
There's a post on here that gives specific instructions on how to get them to check out through warp, I provided that to someone that "knew" what he was doing. One guy was impressed with what I knew and said, whoaaa did you just google that? 😆
Damm, cant seem to find the instructions on here, do you know roughly what page it was in? Beginning or end? Gone back 30 pages but dont see it yet.

Has anyone had any luck in Houston, TX? I've been to over 7 Walmart's with absolutely no luck. Website shows all have no stock and therefore doesn't let me make any reservations. Tips would be much appreciated!
Move out to more remote/rural stores. The store I found dozens available was about 45 min from a major metro.

None of the stores within 2 hours say they have any in stock.

I put in my zip, then carrier, model, and then the sizes say non avaliable

Hey, I think you have to unlock those devices to use with Mint. Can you let me know where you got these from. I live in bay area and would like to know if you got them around here? Thanks

Yes, but they had a dozen more phones in the back that did not show up on the reservation page (colors and sizes). I picked up two XS 256GB that didn't even show available on the site. Ultimately, getting an employee that's easy going and willing to actually help is the way to make this deal work.
