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

Why are you asking CS for paying off? It's right in your account on the website.
gadgetNerd kindly documented the precise steps. Really should review that first.
Maybe I missed it, but I think gadgetNerd mentioned to use chat feature to payoff the phone. I don't recall reading that one can payoff the phone on website. Can you please link to the post? Thanks.

Are you doing it from iPhone. Google for transfer eSIM from one iphone to other. For iPhone to Android you will have to go through ATT account but not for iPhone to iPhone.
gadgetNerd this is a transfer initiated from iPhone 11 Pro. Both 11Pro and 16 Pro have same IOS version. 16 Pro Device was paid off 20 hours ago. Will appreciate your advice, thanks.

I am Sam's club member too, I know we can use Walmart GC at Sam's Club. Does anyone know if I can add the GC to iPhone wallet or to the Walmart wallet and then be able to use it at both Walmart and Sam's Club?

They will put the fee in the bill but you can instantly void it by disputing the fee as ATT gives you one time courtesy

you don't need to use chat to pay off the phone. don't cancel the line until you get new phone unlocked.

you should see payoff icon when you log in your account

Did your purchase order after 16th mention anything about the gift card? I reached out to Walmart customer service and they said the deal expired on 16th (event 1). I know customer service may not be reliable.
I tried on 11/18. The system was down, order didn't go through.

No. In the middle of eSIM swap, in my case, my 2nd phone is directed to AT&T to confirm I'm requesting phone swap…. This is different from what gadgetNerd said…. Just want to share… it did worry me a lot… but the unlock request do go through….
One more thing, ATT unlock confirmation email doesn't have any information on unlocking code or steps…. But the phone was unlocked the moment I got the email. (Maybe that is what is called auto unlocking)
When you were taken to AT&T website did you have to go through 4 steps? Mine says 1. Continue with BYOD, 2. Confirm IMEI of new device, 3. Choose a plan, 4. Pay
Not sure how to proceed. Any words of wisdom?

It's between submit unlock request before payment.
How can you get more than 1 phone using this deal? Does it involve opening multiple ATT accounts each time to secure 1 phone, canceling/closing account, and repeating? Does it affect your credit score opening multiple accounts back to back?

I don't understand why these all matter. Just get friend, spouse, family members to sign up if you need multiple phones. Don't overthink

I think you should do from 16 pro to 11 pro. Also setup passcode and apple id on 16 pro before doing the eSIM transfer.
