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.

Not started yet. I don't like gc promotion because you have to pay tax on the full amount.

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

I purchased ATT iPhone 16 PM in store yesterday evening, got the Walmart GC in store, within 5-10 minutes. Created account online, and paid off the device balance. This morning, I did eSIM transfer and then unlocked the phone. Unlock was pretty much instant. Now, I just need to cancel the line. Hope it's as easy as eSIUM transfer and unlock.
How long did you wait after paying off device to submit unlock request? Also did you do the sim swap and made sure the other wad on the new account before submitting unlock?

Paid off around 5:45 PM on 11/21, eSIM transfer around 8 AM, and unlock request around 8:15 AM. Just canceled the line (9 AM) with chat agent. Last three steps today (11/22).

For your eSIM swap did you do to another unlocked iPhone or Android?

Curious, If ATT account is already cancelled, can you still add a line to that account?

I bought the Verizon version in store on Nov 15, paid in full online the following day and disconnected the line. I was told I do not have any balance. Yesterday I got a bill for $143.94 via snail mail, when I called, they said I only owed $58.59, however they took it off completely.

So, now I am off the hook. If you are a Verizon customer, you may have to make this last phone call. They needed my new # and pin to verify the account.

how long after sim swap did you see your other phone shown on ATT website? I did the esim swap 30 minutes ago, but the iphone 16 pro still shows in my account. I wonder is there any other step I should do, I restarted the other phone and made a few phone calls, but none worked.

You need to make calls/texts from the other phone
