This AT&T iPhone 12 Pro Max deal is mainly attractive for the low upfront price and the possibility of unlocking it after payoff. The comments outline a workaround that uses an AT&T line, pays the phone off, waits 60 days, then requests unlock, with the total cost landing around $221 once activation and a couple months of service are included. The catch is that ordering has been failing for the 512GB model, with reports of checkout errors and out of stock status. It looks most useful if the listing comes back and the AT&T unlock steps fit your setup.
Common Questions (3)
The 512GB option is reported as not working online, with ordering errors even when stock appears to return. The listing also shows out of stock at times, so checkout may fail despite the product page being visible.
The phone must be fully paid off, and the AT&T line must have been active for 60 days before an unlock request can be made. A workable path is to buy it on a new AT&T line, pay off the device, wait 60 days, request the unlock, then cancel service.
The device can reportedly be unlocked after about 2 months by using an inactive AT&T SIM to register the phone, then paying it off and requesting the unlock. That approach is used to satisfy the 60-day line requirement while minimizing ongoing service charges.

Buy the phone thru Walmart with ATT via new number
Once you receive the phone, log in to your AT&T account and pay off the phone.
After 60 days , you request unlock then cancel the services.
Total price : $36 (AT&T installment plan) + $35 ( activation fees) + 2 months services ( roughly $150 ) = roughly $221
This work well for people who already ATT customer, they can just add a new line and pay extra $10/20 months for 2 months then cancel the line

Pretty much all you do once you receive the phone, the first thing you do i put in any ATT sim card ( most people use the inactive one) not the one you received with the phone. then boot up the phone with the inactive sim card so it can register with ATT network thru cellular tower.
Then you login and pay off the phone, call customer services ask to request unlock. At this point all they see in the system is the phone is fully paid and register with another inactive phone number. At this point you satisfy both condition ( Phone is pay off and the number is within ATT for 60 days ) to unlock
Once the unlock request go thru you canceled the ATT line to avoid $60/months
