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.

Ordered it on Walmart with a new Verizon account. So there was a credit check.
Phone arrived that Monday
I kept it in the box till Thursday when I had time to deal with it.
I activated it around 2 am
I called trying to pay it off, was told I could not
Read thru forums here
Seen I needed to go to a corporate store
Went to corporate store and found out I had to pay with actual cash only
Paid in full
Left store and canceled service after leaving store
They wanted to keep it active until the end of the billing cycle
I was very specific that I wanted the service to end right away
They discontinued the service
I got a bill in the mail for 2 months of service
Then a few days later I got a revised bill
Then I ended up. Having to call customer service and they waived the connection fee and all charges only after I found and quoted their terms of service from their website
Hope this helps with your slick deal
