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

I called Verizon customer service, and they confirmed that as long as the phone is not opened and not activated, there will be no charges on the account.
So, if anyone wants to return a Verizon device because they cannot pay it off within a month, they can simply deny the delivery or return the unopened phone to Walmart.
In my experience, AT&T is much more flexible than Verizon when it comes to device payoff options.

CS reps are not very familiar with the reseller phones and activations. They just tell you from a script or responses. The line has already been created so ideally it should also get cancelled when the phone is returned to Walmart but that does not happen most of the times. You can deny delivery but you should check with Verizon after that the line has been cancelled.

SO simply refused the delivery will do it? It is way to risky to execute this deal.

Yes, you should. You will also need it to dispute bill charges when it does. It's better to open up an Verizon account with your email and then do add a number so that when the line is cancelled you still have access to the account for some days for the dispute etc by chat.

Yes you are good. If the option to unlock shows up on your account you should always try that first.

Thanks, checked with sickw, seems both iPhone got unlocked without swap. Should I transfer my current number to this new phone, or should I contact with ATT to disconnect them first before I transfer the old number. Thanks again

Once unlocked you can use any number on it. You are planning to cancel the line with ATT, right?

Anyone has the same situation show iPhone can be unlocked? I purchased 2 iPhone 16pm yesterday from Walmart on ATT network as new customer, paid off immediately . Originally, I want to try esim track. Before that, when I logged in my account, it showed I am eligible to unlock my iPhone, I submitted this request for both phones, got unlock approved immediately. Now my phone show "No SIM restrictions " under the Carrier Lock. Does that mean my iPhone got unlocked? First time to have ATT, any others has this message and would confirm with me? Thanks
@rubylu07, Did you purchase those from Walmart store or online? And for those 2 phones in one account did you receive total $1000 or $500 eGift card?
