Was able to close the Vz account last night. Phone #1 is now showing Flex per sickw. Final bill shows <$10 per vz.com
Could not get a 2nd order to process with existing account, so I signed up as a "new" account with a different "home" phone number and email (but same account name and SSN). So far, no cancellation email and it's been more than an hour. Holding breath until order shows preparing per walmart.com. Hoping it's just BF backup in the system.
For others that have had their orders cancelled - how long did it take for you to get notified?
TLDR: Since phone is IN TRANSIT, iPhone was never "actually" activated on Vz. IDK if you buy in-store if you can "request" to "not" activate phone at point of sale. Maybe use the excuse "It's a gift, and I want them to know it's not been used"? The key here is to NOT activate phone with Vz if you want to get the code 4000 Flex status. Once you actually activate, I believe you need to wait the 60 days.
Here is how my order #1 went:
Placed online order Wednesday night. Made sure to capture phone number from Walmart docs.
Created Vz account with email address that was entered in Walmart order flow.
Got an email from Vz saying "your account was updated". Associated phone number to online account. Received email from Walmart saying phone shipped. Found doc in Vz account with IMEI. Looked it up with sickw. Showed locked to Vz (2347 maybe). Downloaded all Vz docs since I plan on closing account and might need them later. Per other reports, once account is closed, docs vanish.
Added CC to Vz account. Called special number from non Vz phone to pay off device. Used live chat to close account effective immediately. Final bill <$10. Looked up IMEI on sickw: now showing code 4000 Flex. As /u/unbreakable, I'm keeping the phone and not flipping it, so I really don't care if it's "locked" to my carrier (Tmo) for months or whatever. I can request unlock later, and hope for the best.
If I wanted to sell, I'd definitely activate with Vz, close account immediately and wait for 60 day unlock. Since they are Christmas presents (which is less than 60 days away), I'm more interested in the Code 4000 Flex, and give to kids - even if it "locks" them to Tmo.
Was able to close the Vz account last night. Phone #1 is now showing Flex per sickw. Final bill shows
Edit: the phone is currently showing unlocked, no sim restriction. Even on sickw.com its showing unlocked

1. Does ATT prorate the monthly plan fee after cancellation?
2. Does ATT refund or cancel activation fee if plan is cancelled within 3 days?
3. How to pay off the iPhone?
4. Does the iPhone unlock automatically after 60 days - if the plan is cancelled?
I think if you return the phone, the rep told me, any giftcard amount used will be deducted. so there is no way to sham the system.
I have a canceled VZ line/phone with me and I could not buy VZ phone in store, he needed to text the code and I did not have the canceled phone with me, not sure if the text code would work on wi-fi with no cell network.

Thank you for sharing. How about unlocking? did you try the esim swap trick for ATT? did it work?
do you have more info on esim swap that I can try and report back? Eventually i want to use this phone on redpocket.
I believe they have ATT and VZ plans but at a much cheaper rate.
I know newer iphones support 2 esims and at least one hard sim, when the phone is locked to the carrier, does that means all sims are locked or you can activate another esim or physical sim with another carrier.

How to unlock AT&T iPhone immediately?
Pay off installment plan from MyAtt app or at att.com. You can do this as soon as activated/device ships.
Turn on iPhone and let it activate with the pushed AT&T eSim (should be automatic once connected to wifi). Make a phone call.
Transfer the AT&T eSim to another unlocked iPhone. "Use eSIM Quick Transfer on iPhone" Procedure https://support.apple.c
Make a call on the unlocked iPhone. Check in myAtt or att.com and check every few minutes until the unlocked iPhone shows up in your account as your device.
Request unlock https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/ as a non-ATT customer, with non-ATT phone# and email for the new iPhone
Check email and click to acknowledge unlock request. May take a few minutes to receive this.
Wait for unlock approval email. It could take only a few minutes or up to a day
new iPhone will be unlocked once you try a different provider eSIM. You can either use a new eSIM or transfer one from your other iPhone.
If you want to, cancel AT&T service over chat or phone so that you don't go beyond 3 days post activation. If you instead want to keep the service, do everything I mentioned above to bring your monthly cost down.
Edit: AT&T chat is closed on the weekend I called reseller support and they refused to cancel the line and said I had to wait 30 days. I had to port out to another carrier.
Call *PORT on the new iPhone to get a porting pin. You also need your wireless account number (displayed when you login to att.com).
I had a great experience porting to usmobile.com for their 50 day free trial. Just sign up and fill out the details including port (AT&T Postpaid, account number, port pin). Transfer completed in minutes!
