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

Called 611 and it worked! Was texted a link for payoff which I did.
Next cancelled the line by making a separate call.
Did the rep give you a hard time for trying to buyoff early and cancelling?
What did you say as your reason?
Thx!

If the account is not created with the carrier (which is typically done before shipping the phone) you should be good but if the account is created that's a tricky situation that you don't want to be in. At that point, it's better to accept the phone and cancel it cleanly with carrier IMO.
I ordered this online, the walmart.com now shows the order is canceled and the order total is 0$. Credit card charges are pending, so hopefully this will just drop off. will find out if 2X 500 GCs mysteriasly show up in my account.

The phone that purchased in store yesterday still doesnt have a $500 GC, the phone is active with ATT but was unlocked online. Hope this is not causing that GC e-mail issue. The other thing is I bought 2 phones online in P2 name and one phone in store on P1's name. Used two different social, same home address and same e-mail ID with dots. could any of this be a problem I'm not receiving the 500GC email? I may return it in store with the phone rep tommorrow if I dont get the e-mail as it would be less than 2 days and hopefully they wont charge me anything.

Verizon path here.

I went in-store to pay off phone and they said I had to use cash (unfortunately I don't carry 1k in cash in my day to day). They said that there was no other way.

When I tried calling 611 it texted me stating: Currently this device isn't eligible for payoff until 12/12/25. Should I just move to cancel and payoff the phone that way? I'm worried I won't be able to get it unlocked. Anyone find another way?

Edit: I went with purchasing online as opposed to going in-store. Maybe that's why.
