Top Comments
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.

Community Reviews
This Walmart Verizon iPhone 16 Pro deal is mainly about getting the phone on installment pricing plus a $500 Walmart eGift Card, with the strongest value coming from in-store completion and quick gift card delivery. The phone can be paid off through Verizon or Walmart in some cases, and Verizon units are expected to auto-unlock after 60 days once activated. The main friction is the payoff and cancellation process, which can require a corporate store, a chat agent, or repeated attempts. The gift card timing and eligibility are also sensitive to the installment setup and purchase window.

Not sure how to proceed. Any words of wisdom?
I then called AT&T customer service, and they made some changes on their end. After finishing the call, I noticed I had received an email stating "SIM change request received and is pending," but I hadn't checked my email before calling them. Anyway, after the call, I repeated the last few steps on the AT&T website and was finally able to complete the request successfully.
Sorry, I forgot to take screenshots, so the steps and descriptions above may not be completely accurate.
Edit: i think i have to manually enter the IMEI (old unlocked phone)

Is there anything different about this deal from when Event01 initially started on November 13, 2025 for W+ members online other than the dates of this Wireless Postpaid Event01 seemingly being changed/extended online and in store until the end of November 23, 2025?
[Online Purchase must occur between 7 PM ET November 13, 2025 for Walmart+ members, all other customers begin at 12 AM ET November 14, 2025, through 11:59PM local time November 23, 2025. In-store customers can purchase starting 6 AM local time November 14, 2025 through 11:59 PM local time November 23, 2025.]
Are there any new hoops we need to jump through to get the deal, or did they just seemingly extend this Event01 to end the night before Event02's version of the deal takes over?
I might not have gotten enough sleep, so if I missed something obvious I apologize for any inconvenience caused in explaining it to me.
Thank you for any further information.
