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

Did everyone that just wanted the phone and canceled ATT were you also successful in doing the eSIM swap to unlock the phone within those 3days before canceling the line?

I was able to do it even with getting the phone shipped to me. I ordered on Sunday, received the phone on Tuesday, and had everything done and the plan canceled by Wednesday evening. AT&T said that it within the three day cancellation period.

What was your final bill? Did you do the eSIM swap with another unlocked iPhone?

The final bill was $10.11 but it was waived after chatting with AT&T support.
I did the eSIM swap using an Android and had to call AT&T support to get that to work, as the online method was failing. It was likely failing because I tried to do it shortly after activating line.

Did you wait after submitting payment and after midnight when their system updates to request your sim unlock or the actual sim swap was failing?

Just stuck in a problem and need help. Had ordered 16 Pro max but had to return the phone as paid it off full when buying the phone from Walmart in store. salesperson mistake. So didn't get the gift card. Also cancelled the AT&T line on 2nd day. Today 10 days later checked and found a bill from AT&T for $56.71 for activation, taxes and pro rated charges for 2 days. Can someone please help how to get these reversed. The rep on chat said I need to pay the bill. I do not wish to pay this ridiculous charge for just 2 days of service. Thanks
Can someone please help with this

I waited until after midnight and the SIM swap was still failing the next day. Once I called and they completed it for me, I was able to unlock the phone and cancel the plan right away.

Seems that was online order? And paid zero meant you cancelled online offer within 3 days and you still received the gc?

Verizon would never refund. You need to call them up to send you revised invoice. Once, the person said it would occur during next billing cycle but it did not so I had to call again after few weeks. Don't take no for an answer, they could do it right over call and new invoice should reflect in your account within few minutes

Thank you. I called but they requested a PIN to access my account. I don't remember it and was told there is nothing they can do without a PIN!

I don't know about the PIN. You set it with walmart while placing the order. You can give it a try in store or maybe let FCC know about this.
