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.

Want to pay off your device early? Make sure your number has been active on the device for at least 60 days. Then, sign into your account to review and pay off your installment plan. Wait 48 hours after you make your final payment to submit a new unlock request."

How many days you have from the activation to cancel the line where the ATT will waive the activation fee? my walmart instore gift card is not received, they say might take 3 to 5 days, so I dont want to disconnect the service yet incase that will stop my GC or GC comes from walmart so there is connection between what happens to the service with ATT.
Also they tell me because I paid in full the promotional offer could not be applied, is this true? meaning you have to get the GC first and then pay the phone?
Just keep trying and don't be discouraged, just keep bothering them till they make you leave.
Order phone on 11/14, new account activated same day, got phone delivered today 11/18. On 11/16, I didn't want the account to go past 3 days of activation so I paid it off and cancelled the line. Today, I checked sickw.com and the phone says Reseller Flex Lock policy and will lock as soon as I activate it with whatever carrier at setup.
I have another ATT line that I opened on 11/16 for another iphone 16 that already unlocked. I will activate this phone on that line and do the eSIM swap to get this phone unlocked.

Also if I dont receive the GC I want to return this phone. The walmart wouldnt take it, how would one return the phone? when you call ATT, the ATT says you have to return where you bought it. The walmart online says since it is not a walmart.com order, they cant help.
I paid off the phone at the time of store purchase, was able to unlock the phone online. can I go ahead and cancel the line? Havent received the GC yet and I need to leave an option to return the phone in case the GC doesnt come in 3-5 days.
