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

Saying bad reception at home is a valid reason. They will try to cancel the line at the end of the billing cycle but you have to make them cancel it immediately. See wiki of this thread for more details https://slickdeals.net/f/17327499
Thank you for that wiki! I was thinking about bad reception too.

I got the phone from store on Friday (two days ago). Yesterday I went to the corporate store in Phoenix AZ to pay for the phone, and the rep asked me to call 611 on my phone. Online rep was very quick and sent me a text to input my credit card information and charged the device to the credit card ($1099 for the 16 pro max 256 GB).
Today I called 611 to cancel the line and the rep helped me with cancelling the line. I did not need the # so on December 15 it will cancel and I do not owe anything. I did have to give him my 4-digit pin to cancel the line.
There is a possibility I will get the bill and may have to call 611 again

You might want to press them to cancel immediately instead of in 1 month. Otherwise you'll be stuck with paying for 1 month of service.

This has been asked MANY times. Nobody knows yet until people start receiving.
The official policy, quoted a few times already, says 21 days, iirc.

When purchasing in an offline store, do you also get a $500 gift card?

Will this work with Tmobile as I don't have AT&T or Verizon?
Many here does not have ATT and Verizon either, the point of the deal is to get the phone and cancel the line.

I don't think there's another way. You can try calling loyalty dept and see if you can get through. But for ATT anyway you can void the activation fee even after 3 days instantly so it's only going to incur one extra day of prorated dplan charge.

Just came back from WM with 3 16PM, registered an ATT account with the email, but unlike many others here who can pay off the phone the same day, I don't see any bill yet. Only one line shows up in my account, not able to see the other two lines, and there's no billing information in my account. Is there anything I should do to add the other two lines to my account? And how long does it take for the billing to show up?

Update: it took 7 hours for the devices to show up in the app, and then for each device, you can pay off by clicking the installment plan.

If you go to the line and the device it does not show the option to payoff?
