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.

Not started yet. I don't like gc promotion because you have to pay tax on the full amount.

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

can someone explain this to me.

You get the iphone 16 Pro for $25 a month for 36 months (equals $900) and you also get a $500 gift card. Plus phone service.

So basically you are getting the phone for $400 (excluding taxes and other fees) with free cellular service.

So why are people cancelling the service right away? You have to pay the $25 for 36 months no matter what, so if you cancel right away arent you wasting the cellular service for 36 months that you're technically paying for anyway?

But no matter what you have to pay for it right?
If you cancel vs you don't cancel, at the end of 36 months you paid the same amount right?

But if you don't cancel at least you have phone service.

UNLESS the people cancelling it are selling the phone, that makes sense then. But if they are cancelling to go to another company then aren't they paying twice for the phone service? (once with this deal, and then once with the new company)

Have you gone thru the whole process. The $25 a month is for the phone only. You will need to pick a plan along with the $25 charge.

Oh, I just read the posts in the thread.
Didn't realize you have to pay for a line separately.

Thanks for the clarification.

obviously, he was asking if the att trick works or not. I told they activate the verizon number on the phone then hand you the phone. Its not like a seal phone you get to activate. People dont have any patience to read and understand

thats the reason, No one wants to pay $85 plan with verizon, all of them use the MVNO to save monthly service plan
