Not 100% but done it several times, basically the phone locks to att but since its never been tied to an account or eip you can request an unlock as a non att customer

Yes, you should ask for the 50% off and they should give it to you for 50% off. By the way, only the AT&T representatives can sell the phone. They work until 4pm at the target store. Go before 4pm or else you might not get it. Basically the target workers are not allowed to sell AT&Ts stock of phones so you have to have a representative sell it to you.
Well Target claims that these phones belong to AT T but you need to tell the manger that they are listed for sale with no commitments for which carrier. Speak to a manager because the associates don't really know they think the phones belong to ATnT but they don't.
Either way I bought 3 you just need to make sure to ask a manager or they will push you out of there Ellington you they don't have keys to ATnT stock which is BS.
That stock belongs to target they should be able to sell you the unlocked phone just make sure to ask for a manager.

Called my local store they have it in stock but was told only AT&T guys at store can access and sell it. Is this correct statement ? If not I can go in person and have some other knowledgeable rep to help. Thanks

Correct they said a "phone service rep" was needed to access the phones. Went to three stores, all said the same.

Don't have att account so I am not sure if that trick will work. Don't want to lock it for permanent with att.
You are on the safe side with Verizon.

Just went to local Target. Guy in black shirt was clueless. He pointed to the ATT reps at the door.

ATT rep said no iPhone 12s, but have iPhone 14s for $5 for 36 months. But can pay the phone off on the spot for $180. Then sign up for AARP (any age actually) and can get no activation and discount on first month. Then just cancel after first month and done as you paid the phone off. He was certain of this.

Went though with paperwork, ID, etc. But when I looked at paperwork it didn't really say anything about anything. So I had him triple check it. He called someone and was told NO - you have to stay with ATT for 36 months.

What was I thinking? The last time I tried a major carrier - Sprint - it was a disaster.

Now, the clueless dude in the black shirt did point to a bunch of Androids in the case - and said no more iPhones left. So there may have been some iPhones destined for the prepaid market - but are out of stock.

Well, I have an iPhone 12 for Total coming from Walfart anyway. I wanted another one for my second (Asia) phone as my second phone's battery doesn't last very long. Have to wait.

The ATT guy was no there, he was taking a break same on second store we went around 1:30 pm in Maryland, but a the second store a guy with a red Target uniform told to wait for the "tech guy" he didn't find the phone on his device, so went inside and found they only had the 12 minis in stock and had to scan it to be able to tell me the price, he told me the phones are unlocked, he didn't ask for what company, but did ask if we were planning on activate the phone in another country
