I hope the loophole is still open by the time I receive my phone (ETA 12/17).
I had big concerns when people were posting ATT will stop unlock. Do not worry. I do not think ATT will stop this as the system recognize as ATT iphone so they have No way to block the unlock request unless they change policy like Verizon 60 days auto unlock
As of right now you can unlock any ATT iphone as long as there is no finance,

Need some advice. I wanted to do the iphone mini (walmart phone) trade-in with Best Buy to get the iphone 13 pro for my son as his holiday gift. But he is on Visible mobile.
If purchase them online & pick-up in store without inserting the T-mobile SIM, Can i come home & use my son's Visible SIM and activate this phone and continue to use them on Visible Network? Will this work or should i go get a brand new AT&T SIM card and try the unlock method?
Need your suggestions. Thanks for your time.
Bottom line, we are all on the same side and I definitely wish this will NOT happen.
I went to my local BB and tried getting the phone trading in my iPhone 12. However, the BB user's employee kept giving an error and I waited for 1 hr for nothing. Does anyone have the same issue or a way around this too?
Just to reiterate my experience:
1 You can purchase it online with full activation, walk into the store and do the trade-in
2. They'll basically go through a process of asking you for some information (last 4 digits of SSN + Drivers license).
3. They'll take your old phone and inspect it and if it's in good condition to meet their standards, they'll process the trade-in through their system and then hand the new phone sealed in the box over to you.
4. They did ask if they wanted to put the SIM in the phone (yes they'll give you a free t-mobile SIM) and if you say no, they'll just leave that step alone and give you the phone in the box unopened. The new SIM will be unactivated which also means that the iPhone itself is also technically unactivated.
From here, people have reported that putting an ATT sim into the phone first will allow it to get unlocked. Again, this is not a requirement but it just means it is a trick to get the phone unlocked quicker vs going through t-mobile.
If you don't have a t-mobile account to do the trade-in (yes you need one), you can sign-up for their $20 unlimited plan by calling 1800TMOBILE (1-800-866-2453)
You'll probably need to chat with t-mobile to do this (again, not part of this deal) but it's the cheapest plan to get a t-mobile account to do a trade-in. You can also borrow a friend/family t-mobile account to do the deal which is what I did. After you get the phone, you can basically decide the cancel the plan if you want.
The iPhone 12 mini deal that Walmart was selling on Black Friday just meant that people could save up to $300 ($630 trade-in minus $300 for purchasing the phone) if they wanted to trade this in. Again this is not a requirement but it meant that people could take advantage of more savings which made this trade-in a bit sweeter.
