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

Yes I learnt it hard way. I was excited when I could pay it all off in store, knowing people were having difficulty payig afterwards, l thought I would come home, activate and then cancel. easy peazy right? not so fast. My phone was unlocked the same day to my astonishment but then NO GC. that was the kicker.
why no GC? How does Walmart even know that you paid it off? Please enlighten.

Employee will scan the barcode for final payment at Walmart. With Installation activation ($0 down), you only pay taxes for the phone. The term saysWalmart Gift Card Offer Details: Walmart Gift Offer available for AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile purchases. Requires installment activation of eligible phone on either AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile payment plan.

Is this deal available in store on November 23rd?
When called in to the store, they said yes but the website T&C says otherwise
You read wrong term. Today is last day 11/23

These devices aren't eligible to be paid off.

I cannot pay off online. Not even $1. so going to the store is the only way to pay off?

Cancel within 3 days
If I don't get the phone in the mail for three days, that's not going to work, as I still have to wait 24 hours after paying it off to do the eSIM trick and then cancel. So if you cancel after more than three days but less than 14, you pay for one month? Is that right? (AT&T deal)

I did the AT&T deal last night and the confirmation email says this about the gift card:

"Congrats! You're getting a $500 Walmart eGift Card. We'll email your e-gift card to you – expect it about 25 days after your device has shipped."

Is this new? It seems from prior comments that people were getting their gift cards right away... Wonder why the change, and if this leaves the possibility of it being clawed back if I cancel the plan.

People who did this with Verizon, please report your final amount to pay. Both me and my wife did this deal
and her final bill is about $11 and mine is over $22. This makes no sense. Before I call I would like to know what the usual prorated amount is (cancelled within 3 days).

Hi ! So I had ordered the device on Nov 15th. Received it today. The chat support waived the $40 activation fee. They also helped me pay off the device entirely via a dedicated URL. They also adjusted the service to start today instead of Nov 19th (this was a Walmart online order). So now what all do I need to do? Cancel the service? How do I ensure that I get the 500 Walmart gift card? Thank you.

which provider? unless people post their timeline we are not going to know when the GC is sent for online orders. There is not a single post that mentions this, so we dont know.

No, you can void the activation fee instantly even if it's more than 3 days as one time courtesy directly from the bill. If you cancel within 14 days then you end up paying only for those days, ATT will send you a full bill and you have to chat to get things credited, see the wiki of this thread for more details
