Doesn't Verizon send you a email saying your service has been activated when the phone ships?

So there's no trade in options for current Verizon customers? Only AT&T?

Still worth it if you really need a new phone at $250-$300 off.
They also jack up the price by $100

I didn't setup Verizon account until Day 2, so I am not sure. But I think Verizon only activates the line (so lets say eSIM is created by Verizon), but until the eSIM is activated on the iPhone (by turning on the phone and registering), the phone is still Flex. Since I cancelled service, the eSIM was deactivated by Verizon, so the phone did not connect to any network when I turned it ON.

Note: On the iPhone 14 deal, atleast 2 others activated directly on other carriers (1 on T-Mobile, 1 on Mint), so mine was not a exception.

This was happening when I got the iPhone 14 from the last deal, but when I go to upgrade an AT&T line for this deal (iPhone 15 128GB), it says "Upgrade with restrictions" and then says: You need to complete your upgrade at a Walmart store. Please visit the nearest Walmart store with a Walmart Mobile Desk and we'll help you upgrade your device.

Has anyone run into this issue before?
I am getting the same error, did you figure out the fix?

Yes but just know once you do activate the phone on the carrier of your choice, it will be locked to that carrier and I assume it will be difficult to ask the new carrier to unlock it since they didn't supply that phone and Verizon will not unlock it since it was never activated on it.

I have an interesting edge case. What if you pay off and cancel service before activating, and then activate the phone on another Verizon account?

Verizon unlocking policy isn't clear whether it has to be activated on the original purchasing account to start 60 day unlock timer.

"Devices that you purchase from our retail partners are locked for 60 days after activation."

Agreed, that's definitely a risk. Though someone posted in the iPhone 14 deal that T-Mobile was able to Unlock the Verizon iPhone.
In my case, it was a gift for my daughters birthday, I didn't want to give her a phone that she couldn't use for 60 days. So rolled the dice, plan to ask T-Mobile to unlock after a couple of months.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
By the way, I had the same thoughts as you when I decided to skip Verizon activation, this is my post on the iPhone 14 deal
Quote :
So far, going well for me. Here's a summary for others benefit

Nov 17:
Ordered Verizon iPhone

Nov 19:
Shipped and line activated

Nov 20:
- Called Verizon to get phone no and account info (did not write it down during Walmart order)
- Created account, linked phone, added credit card, paid off line per info in wiki
- Disconnected line by Live agent chat
- I cancelled on Day 2 after activation, hoping the activation fee will not be charged. Bill hasn't generated yet
- iPhone is in transit, will receive tomm

Nov 21 Plan:
- When I turn on the phone, it cannot activate since Verizon line is disconnected
- Will activate with T-Mobile eSIM (a flex policy iPhone can be activated on any US carrier)
- Most likely will not be able to unlock the phone. T-Mobile will ask me to deal with Verizon (I believe the IMEI will be tagged as a Verizon phone). Verizon will not unlock since I never activated the phone on Verizon. Still hoping T-Mobile will be able to unlock after a few months/ 1 year on their network
- I did not want to wait 60 days to use it on T-Mobile, that was my primary reason for skipping Verizon activation

I hope Fedex will deliver the phone without issue. If delivery is screwed up, I might be in trouble - Walmart is only liable for the $20 tax, not clear how I can get my money back from Verizon

Can someone explain how bill credits work? I'm with At&t and probably won't change anytime soon. If I upgrade, will I not get charged for the phone as long as I have three years at&t service?

You'll see a line item for the installment charge and then a line item for the credit. Obviously the installment charge can be higher if the cost of the phone you choose exceeds the value of the credit. If not, then they'll offset each month over the 36 month term.

Can confirm this is 100% true. I just learned this personally this past week. I purchased one of the iPhone 14 256gb for $299 from Walmart a couple weeks ago. I never opened the box, and I paid off the phone and cancelled the line on the very same day I purchased it online.

I couple days ago I went to sickw and typed in the IMEI and it said

Brand: Apple
Model: iPhone 14 (A2649)
Model Name: iPhone 14
Model Region: United States
SIM Card: Dual eSIM only
Activation Status: Not Activated
Telephone Technical Support: N/A
Valid Purchase Date: No
Registered Device: No
Replaced by Apple: No
Loaner Device: No

Purchase Country: United States
Estimated Purchase Date: 24 Nov 2022
Demo Unit: No
**Carrier: US Reseller Flex Policy Next Tether Policy: 4000**
Country: United States
Sim-Lock: Locked
Find My iPhone: OFF

I have heard of this resell flex policy before in relation to doing the swim swapping trick with H2O SIM cards and at&t. It was a way to unlock the
Phone immediately.

But I'm a little confused on a couple things, the IMEi check also said that the iPhone has never been activated before ( so why was I charged activation fee)? Also it says that it is locked, but after reading up on the flex policy it seems like basically you can pick whatever carrier you use the device on, however whatever service or carrier you do end up getting first is the service that the iPhone will be locked to.


Which leads me to my main question, because the iPhone 14 is obviously dual eSIM there is no sim swapping. How do I go about getting this device to be unlocked in the simplest fashion ( preferably leaving the box sealed) from the current resell flex policy status it's in.

Can someone explains this:
1) ATT also follows 3 day cancellation rule and do not charge activation fees?
2) unlock after 60 days? I saw folks pointed unlocking earlier does that reproducible and 100% working hack ?
3) between VZ and Att which is easier option to go if you have cancel within 3 days ?
