For those with experience with these deals. this might be worth it for you guys. Walmart has several phones as low as $1 per month for 36 months. It doesn't look like bill credits either. Buy, activate, pay off, then cancel within 3 days. Phones should automatically unlock after 60 days. Some Iphone 12 plus, pros and max for $2.75 per month but out of stock. I have done this before so I will try it again.
Just wanted to verify my timeline for doing this is right.
- Buy Galaxy a14 on Monday.
- Two day shipping, arrives Wednesday. (Business Day #2)
- Pay off phone Wednesday and make a call/text. (Can I pay off phone earlier - before it arrives?)
- Cancel service Thursday (Business Day #3 - last day to avoid activation fee)
- Leave in drawer without service for 60 days, tweak apps, SD card, settings....
- Unlocked automatically
- Use on any USA network (probably US Mobile).
FYI, Moto Edge they are selling is the old 2021 version. Be aware.
Yes. So definitely not worth for these phones.

In a perfect world, yes but it lo0ks like their policy might have changed since the last time I tried this. This is a device payment plane and not bill credits so not sure why they would have time limits for paying this off. We shall see. My first phone arrives tomorrow.
Having sold real estate when mortgage rates were OVER 14-15%, (1980's) rates have everything to do with supply, demand, values, and sales volume.

real estate is a belief, some people around me believe that high interest rates lead to higher housing prices, they are rushing to buy a house, I guess they expect 1000 sqft town house valued $10 Billions near year, of course, I purchase treasury bill, I think 5.2% with state tax free good for me.
The normal customer service line. This was about 2 years ago. I am an existing Verizon customer with 5 lines. I don't want to do things like this too often and bring attention to my account.
Just now paid off the 36 months of handset and canceled service effective immediately; new phone line has now no service.
How do I unlock this Galaxy handset to be able to be used on T-Mobile and/or overseas carrier? How long until this phone is unlocked? Does this apply to physical SIM as well as ESIM?

I've done this a couple of times but I am no expert. IE $1 X 36 months plus tax on $36 (at least in Illinois) plus a few dollars for pro rated monthly. As long as I cancelled within 3 days of activation, activation fees were waived. So around $40. I did the IPhone 12 at $2.78 month for 36 months. I plane to pay it off for $100.08 plus a few dollars for pro rated monthly. I did all this on Walmart's website without any issues and my phones arrive next week.
How did you do on the Walmart website? Is there a page to manage Verizon connections?

Yes, paid off with credit card at local V store. Must I really wait 60 days for unlock, even with no service ?
