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 have just tried another factory reset unlocked IP15 but still it didn't work with the new ATT IP16 PM. It worked if I tried to pair with any phone other than the new ATT IP16 PM. Or did you mean factory reset on the new ATT IP16 PM?
I guess you are trying to do esim swap fron new phone to old unlocked phone. Make sure you have set up phone lock code in new iphone to enable esim transfer

Goto settings and setup a new passcode. You can search in Google on steps to setup passcode. For some reading esim transfer will not work until passcode is setup

It works! Thanks a lot! Passcode is the lock code you were referring to. I didn't know it's that simple. I thought it's a lock code specifically for esim. I got the esim swap done now. Gonna request for unlock. @KarthikDM, Thanks again!

Has anyone successfully done the eSIM swap with an Android phone? It seems the process isn't so straightforward and may not be possible without involving AT&T.

You can do it via online account. You cant do direct phone to phone transfer to android but on the backend it's all the same so just do the online transfer to your Android and request unlock after.

Thanks... I did try that after making my last post, but got an error about the SIM being changed too recently. I guess I need to wait it out a bit longer. I just received the phone today and paid it off right away. In case anyone else is following along and trying to get it working like I am, I'll keep this thread updated. I'll see if it works tomorrow and report back here.

Got my first ATT bill and it's already prorated for the 3 days of service + activation fee. I got the activation waived online and called in to remove the rest of the charges. The rep didn't even ask any questions and proceeded directly to removing all the charges on the bill. Now shows $0 balance. Thanks OP. ATT is definitely the way to go for most ppl if you don't have an existing carrier relationship.

I misunderstood also. It looks like the only deal now is $300 card + possible trade in credits

The steps outlined in one of the pages in this thread recommended to wait overnight for system sync after paying off the phone.
