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.

Ok I just kept hammering calls and texts between devices and now it shows in the portal. For anyone else trying to do this it either takes 30+ minutes or a combination of 20-30 phone calls and texts.
Thanks for the instructions, I paid off the device and did the SIM swap to my old unlocked Iphone 13 and that's all good.
You said to make some texts and phone calls until the iPhone 13 IMEI shows up in the ATT account portal, but I see no IMEIs anywhere in the portal and it still shows the device as an iPhone 16 Pro Max. I've made about 5 calls and texts so far on the eSIM transferred to my 13, do I need to do more? I've never seen a portal obscure IMEI info this much before, it's insane.
I tried the att website and mobile app, no IMEIs displayed anywhere that I can see. So how do I verify step 3 that my previous unlocked iphone 13 with the transferred eSIM has registered to ATT?
Arrives by Mon, Nov 24. long wait!
