There are advantages to doing this with ATT instead of Verizon.

1. After buying the phone in Walmart, you can pay off phone via ATT online chat. For Verizon you have to go to a store.
2. ATT activation fee can be voided instantly from the bill by clicking on "Don't recognize this fee" when the bill arrives even if it's more than 3 days from activation which will mostly happen if you ship it to your house.

3. ATT version can be instantly unlocked using eSIM swap. It's YMMV but for most people it works if you follow the instructions below and do the transfer of the eSIM properly from iPhone to another phone.
4. Even if the eSIM swap does not work I have seen some getting the phone unlocked by chatting with CS once the phone is paid off. That also is YMMV

Sim swap instructions

1. There are two timelines for the cancellation. If you cancel a line before 3 days it was active then the activation fee is waived. If you cancel it within 14 days from activation under buyers remorse then no bill is charged but activation fees need to be paid. But as mentioned earlier that fee can be voided instantly by clicking on "Don't recognize this fee" in the bill even after 3 days.

2. You can use SIM swap method method to unlock the device.

3. When you receive the phone activate it on ATT with the eSIM. Make sure it shows up on myATT app/in the web so ATT knows and registers the IMEI in the network. Then transfer the eSIM to another unlocked phone. Make sure you are transferring the eSIM without making a new one so no ATT involvement. Reboot the other phone, make some calls and make sure this unlocked phone is now showing under the line in app/web portal.

4. Now go to ATT unlock portal https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/ (in incognito mode) and then choose not an ATT customer and use the IMEI of iPhone nd submit an unlock request using a different email, phone number, name etc not associated with the ATT account.

5. Confirm the unlock request email and receive the unlock code.

6. ONLY CANCEL THE LINE AFTER YOU HAVE UNLOCKED THE PHONE. OTHERWISE, YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO UNLOCK IT ANYMORE.




Edit: Forgot to mention you will have to try the SIM swap roughly 24 hours after paying off the phone. The unlock portal syncs with the billing system every night or so.

Thank you for posting this deal! Is the following correct?

1. Order the iPhone 16 online to take part of this deal
2. Once phone is delivered, activate the phone and place a test call
3. Call Verizon or log into your Verizon account to pay off the phone and cancel your service within 3 days of activation
4. Receive the $500 walmart gift card
5. iPhone is unlocked after 60 days despite not paying for a Verizon plan at all

Looks like T-Mobile is new, or add a line customers. $677 down 9.25 monthly. With $500 GC. There's no place to upgrade for existing. Details are limited on product page, "terms apply" ?

I plan to buy this for my family who is outside the US. Can the phone automatically unlock outside the US 60 days after I have activated in the US? Any comments are very appreciated. Thank you.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank navi_2013

some takeaways from previous deals -
- save the agreement copy - it has the phone# needed for paying off the device
- take screenshot of the $500 gift card offer
- note the PIN set, it will be used for paying off the device over phone automated system

So the phone pay off price is 930 or 30.53*36=1,099.08 + TAX for 256gb model? Looks like cancelling within 3 days will get you back all money back except the device without returning the device right?
If true, the OOO 1,099.08*1.0725=~1,178.763 wit tax - $500 = $678.763 and wait 60 days before you can use it. Did anyone confirmed if the line should stay active to unlock on Verizon or its known 60 days after activation no active line required?

I feel like this deal for iPhone 17 pro max $300 off deal with Metro at 899+tax=~$950 is better but you have to stay with metro for 12 months to get it unlocked... idk

Ok, so I've read through the entire post but don't see an answer to this possibly dumb question- do I need to have a Verizon account in order to do this offer? I'm with Tmobile and would like two phones for my kids.

$30.53/month for 36 months = $1099.08 + tax + activation fee
Nearly comes to $1200+
- $500 GC
Effective price $700
Plus the hassle to talk to store people is a pain in the ass....

As a T-Mobile user can I still get this to work? I guess I'd have to create a new account with AT&T or Verizon and could I then cancel the whole account? Thinking it might be too complicated...

Thanks

Just FYI, I went to a store and got a iphone 16 pro with $67.43 tax paid. The sales staff activated the phone and made a call. I received the $500 giftcard in email even before I left the store. Will pay off the phone in store tomorrow and then cancel the service. Hope the phone will be unlocked smoothly in 60 days.
