Day 1
Purchased phone on Walmart's website. Note email address used, phone number, and PIN.
Downloaded the two agreement PDFs during checkout. The Loan Agreement doc has the Verizon phone number information.
Received an email from Verizon later that day. "Your account email address has been updated."
Day 2
Registered a new account on Verizon.com under Mobile & 5G Home using the same Walmart.com purchase email.
Added the new phone to my newly created Verizon account using the phone number from the agreement and the PIN used during Walmart checkout.
Verified my account email and my "daily driver" phone number.
Installed the My Verizon mobile app on my daily driver phone and logged in. Neither the app nor chat would allow me to pay off my device.
Day 3
Tried to pay off device
The local Verizon store would not allow me to pay off my device. They sent a text to the device to "authenticate me". After explaining I didn't bring the device, he said the device couldn't be paid off for 30 days.
Left the store and Immediately added a credit card payment method in the My Verizon app.
Immediately called 800-837-4966 (Verizon Support number), enter the phone number/pin set up during checkout. Said "pay off device", automatic system read the phone number back to me, told me how much I owe, and asked if I wanted to use the card on my account. Said "yes". Received email confirmation of device payoff.
Went to the Verizon Chat to cancel the service. They originally asked if I wanted to end it after the current cycle. I asked to end the service effective today. It took some convincing for the rep to comply, but they ultimately did.
Phone finally arrived by FedEx. Inserted an H2O sim from Target for $1 before turning on the device the first time.
Put the sim in the phone and went to https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/ and click "start an unlock request" then follow the prompt to unlock the phone. Confirm the AT&T unlock request in your email. The approval came minutes after I clicked submit.
Confirmed unlock status at sickw.com
Thank you to all those before me that posted experiences and steps you took. I could not have pieced this all together without your comments.

My son did this with this exact phone and now has it on Mint. I did it with their Pixel 6a and have it on US Mobile. No issues with unlocking at all.
Total is not Verizon (was previously known as Total Wireless) - they're an MVNO owned by Verizon but a separate company (along with Tracfone and Straight Talk) so if you were on chat with Verizon they wouldn't have a clue.
