Device only. If you have the legacy unlimited data plan this will forfeit it, otherwise it shouldn't change your plan (according to the fine print).

$360 phone + tax
$40 Verizon upgrade fee
This is a great deal but every time someone post a Walmart cell phone deal some of the information gets confusing. I work for the company that sells the cell phones for Walmart. Let me make it simple.

Verizon does a 60 day soft lock on all of their phones. They have to be activated on service for that long before you can take it to another carrier.

AT&T postpaid phones will work on prepaid and cricket without being unlocked.

All of these prices require a upgrade, add a line, or new line. So yes, you have to put it on your plan or start on or you won't get the price.

No this doesn't put you on a contract and you can pay the phone off immediately. Just keep in mind that Verizon's unlock policy doesn't care if the device is paid off it still has to do 60 days of service. AT&T requires it to be paid off and you have to request the unlock.

If you have anymore questions please let me know
You can buy this now and pay off the full balance if you are an AT&T customer once you receive the phone. You can actually pay it off any time during the 36 months since there is no phone credit. I did the same with the Note 20 when walmart had it on sale.

Walmart changed their phone sales policy over two years ago. They no longer sell unlocked phones / require all phones to be activated prior to sale completion.
We still sell unlocked phones they just aren't in every store and they are always Motorola phones

If you are hard up for $ this will do, I got this phone for free from ATT due to 3g sunsetting and its decent but its very slow at times... that stated, the A52 5G is a WAY better phone and will likely be upgrading.

So in my case on an old grandfathered ATT plan it wont change a thing, just pay upgrade fee and pay off the phone when I want and call it good.

Awesome. And this wont change my current post paid plan (grandfathered into a pretty good plan)
No, make sure you tell the rep to leave the plan alone and when you look at the paperwork it should say plan renewed which means they left it alone

Yes I'm on a grandfathered unlimited just make sure you tell them to leave the plan alone. I upgrade through Walmart all the time and my plan never changes.

This is completely false if you mean you have to upgrade your plan. I've bought four phones from Walmart this way (including the S21+ here) with an existing Verizon account and have never had to upgrade my plan or add a line.

If you mean upgrade your phone on an existing line/plan, then yes, that's what I've done every time.

I am sure that is what he meant -- upgrading the phone.

Wow, this looks like a good deal also: https://www.walmart.com/ip/AT-T-S.../406976340

AT&T Samsung Galaxy A52, $3.00/month for 36 months, 0% APR, 128GB , black
I did this for a family member online. As far as I could tell it did not involve a contract, the installment can be paid off all at once at some point with no penalty, required no change to the underlying plan (which wasn't an unlimited plan), but I can't swear to it. There were 4 agreement documents from att/walmart at the end of signup period. I scanned them pretty hard, but the last one was like 70 pages, so there's a non-zero chance it requires signing over your first born and left kidney. Pretty sure the long one was just the standard att user agreement with terms for all their services. But don't quote me on that.

There was a $30 upgrade fee and tax upfront for ~$150 total for the a52, I was almost ready to do $450 for the a53 (which isn't much of an upgrade other than the 4 year software support policy) before seeing this. If there are no surprises, that's the best deal I've seen in a looooong time (everything else I've seen forces changes to your plan, contracts appear to have come back, most depended on tradeins all kinds of ugliness). I'm old enough to remember when cell phone deals on older models weren't that rare, and they required no hoops, you paid money, you got a phone, no agreements, no nothing, some deals were even super slick. Lately things have gotten so nasty this installment nonsense actually seemed worth it.

I think silicon may be getting better supply chain wise. The shortages were always going to turn into a glut, I've seen several signs that that's in the works. And while this is clearance on an old model, I've seen plenty of old models get no real clearance treatment over the past year.

Perhaps sold out for your area or if you mean for VZW. I was able to order after your post. Just checked now and you can still order the ATT version.

I did the same, pretty easy process through Walmarts website, doesnt seem to of changed my plan at all on ATT's website just shows the installment plan on the line that was upgraded. The A52 5G (which is what this phone is not the non 5g A52) is a pretty darn good phone and infact scores better than the A53 5G on performance and features - A52 5G has a headphone jack too! (I use mine a lot). Needless to say for the ~145 in total for the A52 5G it was a no brainer as ATT made my moto G a brick with their sunsetting of 3g and after much fighting gave me an A12... and while the a12 has been OK, its only been OK.

I do this all day and I actually sell these phones. You have to upgrade a existing line, add a line, or start a new line to get this price.

This is not the only phone on sale but I will keep that information to myself since I have people saying I'm lying… I actually work for the damn company and I'm lying…. That's hilarious if anyone wants to know what else is on sale send me a message and I will let you know….

You need to clarify "upgrade an existing line". If you mean upgrade the phone, then correct. If you mean upgrade plan, then no, you're wrong.
