Quote from LK0123 :
I ordered the AT&T i15Pro on Monday. I paid it off Wednesday night while it was in transport and the website went from showing 36 installment payments to paid off a while later. It was delivered yesterday and I followed the SIM swap steps to the letter, yet the unlock kept saying "You can't unlock your device until your installment plan is paid off". Based on that, I expected I would have to wait the full 60 days to unlock, but I tried again this morning and it went through just fine. I believe I saw a mention of 48 hours somewhere and that seems to have been it -- I was able to unlock it 48 hours after paying it off but not before. Just throwing it out there, I know some have been able to unlock right after paying it off, but not me. Canceled the line via online chat, she wanted me to call the loyalty dept. but I asked her to do it online and she transferred me to another chat rep who did it. Now just to wait for the $450 GC...
So once you received the phone you powered it on and activated it before proceeding with the unlock steps..is that correct? Since you canceled after 3 days does that mean you will be charged activation fee and prorated days of service? What is your final bill looking like? So if ATT version can be unlocked with 48 hours is it better to go to store and get the ATT version, activate it, go home and pay off and then do unlock in 48 hors so to avoid activation fees and less days of service fees?

Anyone able to get the GC in-store while buying the phone outright without an installment plan? I'm maxed out on credit allowed on my account and the only way to add a line is to pay for the phone completely. I'm hoping this is a good thing so I don't have to deal with paying off the phone to unlock. But I'm not sure Walmart gives out gift cards even if we don't finance the phone?

Yes, powered it on and activated on AT&T, made a few calls and sent a few texts, then transferred the eSIM to an old unlocked iPhone and made a few calls and texts from that one. It took maybe an hour or more for the website to show the old phone instead of the 15 Pro. But eventually it did and then I went to unlock it as a non-customer of AT&T and it failed, tried a few times throughout the evening, even using the other IMEI for the 2nd eSIM. But this morning it unlocked on the first try.
When I canceled, I asked her if the fees would be prorated, first she said no, but I pointed out that I just opened it a few days ago and she said that in that case, it would be prorated. I did not press on the activation fee, I am willing to pay it if the website does not let me dispute it. I don't know what the final bill will be, it is a bit confusing as I still have another line with a 14 from the earlier deal that I need to try returning today.
Yeah, in retrospect, getting the AT&T version and paying it off immediately when you see it in the AT&T account is probably the right move, then you can try unlocking right away, and if does not work, 48 hours later will still be within 3 days to avoid the activation fee.
BTW, I did this one through AT&T and another one through Verizon, the Verizon one I paid off and canceled while it was on the way, all within 3 days, so the final bill should only be a few bucks to Verizon. It showed as Flex Policy after canceling and then locked to T-Mobile that I transferred to it when it came. That was definitely less hassle overall and I am not worried about being locked to them. Perhaps I should have done the same thing with AT&T, as I am keeping both phones long term.

Ok, thanks for reply. I'll try again later and see if they can do it this time. It is the One Plan but it has a special promo on it so it was called like that. I think maybe that employee didn't know much of what he was doing.
Didn't work for me. I do have the one plus promo. I'm thinking that's why it didn't work. It had given the rep an error and it said to call Tmobile.

I have the T-Mobile one plan. I think I started as 100 bucks for two lines few years back. No idea what one plus promo you mentioned.
Did they have to call T-mobile? They showed me the error, which prompted them to call and start over.

Same with me. He said he will need to call T-Mobile but he also said I would also have to change my plan so I said no that I wouldn't change my plan and left. Maybe he was wrong and if he had called, he would be able to do it on my plan via phone, not sure though. You let me know if in the end they do it for you without making changes to your plan.

Purchased iPhone 16 Pro yesterday (11/29) in store thru VZ and received $300 GC in like 5 mins.
Later in the evening, used bot to pay off my balance
Chatted with customer care to submit the Unlock request
Today (11/30) chatted with VZ customer care to disconnect service
Immediately after disconnecting (within an hour), I received the Unlock request denial email! So looks like I will have to wait for 60 days...

Seems like this is the math for iPhone 15 Pro 128GB:

($90 tax at Walmart) + ($24.98 * 36 pay off phone) + ($10 prorated fees best case) - ($450 giftcard * 95% value due to lost opportunity of CC cashback) = $571.78

It's ok but not awesome.

Why are there not trade-in & purchase details for Verizon on the Walmart BF ad? For AT&T it breaks it down to each and every trade-in eligible phones with the trade-in values for each new iphone or Samsung phones but nothing for Verizon here! We are already Verizon customers and would like to trade in our iphone 7's. On the myVerizon account page they are willing to trade-in iphone 7's for $830 each. Will this deal happen if we buy our iphone 16s through Walmart, trade-in with Verizon and get the Walmart gift cards?? Has any current Verizon customer tried to upgrade their phones with a trade-in option and get the $300 WM gift card?

Why is there not a detailed Verizon trade-in & purchase listing on the Walmart page? It is very vague, not like the breakdown they have for AT&T with each new phone models and prices listed along with the trade-in values for the old phones. We are already a Verizon customer and would like purchase 3 iphone 16s and trade-in our old iphone 7's. Our myVerizon account is showing that we can upgrade with a $830 trade-in value for our iphone 7's. Can we purchase through Walmart and still trade in with Verizon and get the Walmart gift cards?

They're not giving you the credit for buying a phone from WM. They'll give it to you if you trade in a newer phone and stay with them for three years.
The promo is Att's that they've had since the 16s came out. WM is just advertising for them and giving you the gift card.
Oh okay thanks. I thought it was a bonus credit that Walmart was offering for trading in a phone and activating a new phone through them.

What was your payoff amount for the phone? Total out of pocket?

You are forgetting this is an iPhone which never goes on sale, then 40% or more off is a steal.
