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.

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.
When called in to the store, they said yes but the website T&C says otherwise
I cannot pay off online. Not even $1. so going to the store is the only way to pay off?

"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.
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).
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.
