1. Trade in device and use that credit to pay off phone in 36months while keeping phone plan. For UU on verizon this comes up to (100avg x 36) - 300 Walmart GC
2. No trade in, but pay off phone immediately within 3 days of receiving to avoid activation fees. For the iphone 15 pro, this comes up to be 999- 300 Walmart GC regardless what plan you choose.
Follow steps included this wiki to port out your locked device to other carrier.
I have no horse in this race but here is the email you get from Walmart. Watch your SPAM FOLDERS.
FROM: Shopping Card Gift on behalf of eshoppingcard
SUBJECT: You have a Walmart eGift Card!
Same for 2021 and 2022.
AT&T details
Order/cancel? Activation starts on ship date (or store activation date). AT&T does not prorate after 3 days, so if you don't receive the device by the 3rd day you have to pay for the entire month of service.
To get the activation fees waived (if you're not cancelling within 3 days) be sure to sign up for AARP. It can be free or almost free

- Contact AT&T over chat and ask them to waive your activation fee since it's an AARP benefit. This will save $35/line.
- Set up autopay from att.com or MyAtt app to save $10/line/month (debit; or credit -$5/month).
- Do you have AT&T fiber home internet? Contact AT&T over chat to "bundle" home internet plus wireless for a $20/month discount. You can also sign up for home internet after getting wireless to receive the same $20/month discount. There are loads of sign-up offers include $350 gift card back for new customers https://slickdeals.net/f/17073514-new-at-t-fiber-customers-purchase-at-t-fiber-internet-plan-300mbps-get-up-to-350-in-reward-cards-or-logitech-g-cloud-gaming-handheld-device-6-200-reward-card
- Pay off installment plan from MyAtt app or at att.com. You can do this as soon as activated/device ships.
- Turn on iPhone and let it activate with the pushed AT&T eSim (should be automatic once connected to wifi). Make a phone call.
- Transfer the AT&T eSim to another unlocked iPhone. "Use eSIM Quick Transfer on iPhone" Procedure https://support.apple.c
om/en-us/HT212780
- Make a call on the unlocked iPhone. Check in myAtt or att.com and check every few minutes until the unlocked iPhone shows up in your account as your device.
- Request unlock https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/ as a non-ATT customer, with non-ATT phone# and email for the new iPhone
- Check email and click to acknowledge unlock request. May take a few minutes to receive this.
- Wait for unlock approval email. It could take only a few minutes or up to a day
- new iPhone will be unlocked once you try a different provider eSIM. You can either use a new eSIM or transfer one from your other iPhone.
- If you want to, cancel AT&T service over chat or phone so that you don't go beyond 3 days post activation. If you instead want to keep the service, do everything I mentioned above to bring your monthly cost down.
Edit: AT&T chat is closed on the weekend I called reseller support and they refused to cancel the line and said I had to wait 30 days. I had to port out to another carrier.- Call *PORT on the new iPhone to get a porting pin. You also need your wireless account number (displayed when you login to att.com).
- I had a great experience porting to usmobile.com for their 50 day free trial. Just sign up and fill out the details including port (AT&T Postpaid, account number, port pin). Transfer completed in minutes!
Verizon details
- check out the recent iPhone 13 community wiki on unlock (60 days on iPhone 14/15!), pay off, 3 day rule etc. for Verizon
https://slickdeals.net/f/17028796-verizon-or-at-t-128gb-apple-iphone-13-new-or-added-line-8-30-mo-for-36-months-299-total-more-free-s-h
- We haven't found a way to unlock the iPhone 14/15 like we did the 13 because it has an eSIM assigned that gets activated on boot, and no physical SIM card. Also the phones are showing Verizon locked and not flex reseller policy. It will automatically unlock 60 days post activation however.

Your iPhone 11 Pro Max for Verizon unlimited welcome plan upgrade will give you $200 credit over 36 months.
I just abandoned this Walmart deal and jumped to Verizon's own upgrade and trade in deal because I have an unlimited plus plan and I was able to get $830 credit for an android phone.
You can also do the trade in using Best Buy website where it gave me Verizon login verification and option to choose which phone to be traded in. Best Buy will give 5% instant off of any phone discount and $30 gift card too.
I didn't go with Best Buy upgrade to get the additional 5% and $30 gift card because Best Buy upgrade didn't give me the choice of the android phone I wanted to trade in even though the Best Buy website it's eligible for $830 credit. But Verizon.com upgrade was able to let me choose the phone.

I have an iphone 13 pro with the trade-in value at VZW shows as $350. My question is how can I make sure VZW offers $1000 for this device since I made the purchase with Walmart?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
To qualify for $1000 credit, minimum Trade-In value must be $230 or higher after device condition questions have been answered
• Eligible devices:
• Apple iPhone: 12 Pro Max, 13, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max, 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, 14 Pro Max
• Samsung Galaxy: Z Flip4, Z Fold4, S22 Ultra 5G, S23, S23+, S23 Ultra, Z Flip5, Z Fold5
• Google: 7 Pro
Buy the phone you want from Walmart. Make sure you activate the device. Then swap your data on to the new phone. Once everything is there, wipe the old phone.
IMPORTANT! Bring the phone to a Corporate AT&T store and do the trade in. Tell them you just signed up for 36 months and bought a qualifying phone and it has a trade in offer. MAKE NO MENTION OF WALMART.
They will answer the questions and check the phone out. Get a printed receipt. No email. The email doesn't show any information. If the printer they sent the receipt to is out of paper, ask for a screen print or they give you a receipt. Following this will give you peace of mind and save you from any hassle down the line.
From this point on, the responsibility of the phone is with AT&T. AVOID ANY TEMPTATION TO MAIL THE PHONE IN. If the person at the store says you must mail in. Then say you spoke to George on the phone and it can be brought to the store as you don't have any means or capability to mail anything in.
The past 2 trade ins I did, I got the credit within the first month. Two of them to be exact. Once to catch up and the other for the current month. If they rip you off, then you have the receipt to complain to the FCC.
I know I took up time in the store and if it goes smoothly, I will buy a SBUX gift card for the person helping me. If you don't have a trade-in, then Swappa is your friend. My buddy did this and actually got a refurbished phone that had "already" been trade in at AT&T. Circle of life, what are the chances? Had to go to another Corporate Store with a more Senior Person to fix but it got done.

I ended up messaging AT&T on twitter for an explanation and sent them copies of the receipt showing the phone purchased a month before and while they did not adjust the monthly credits, they gave me a $450 one time credit on the bill.
