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 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.
This is most likely the PIN you might have setup last time you might have setup the account. Try what you normally use. Hopefully that will work

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!

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

Has anyone still not received their gift card yet? Mine was supposed to have come 2 days ago but still nothing. I ordered the AT&T one. Was there something in the original order email about this? Who can I contact about this? Walmart customer agents are giving me the run around

Cancelled the next day. Verizon charged $77.86. Anyone has similar experience? Any input is appreciated.
I was charged $66 and after 3 calls, they were still unable to refund even though I cancelled service within 3 days

Tried all PINs I have used. None worked. Will go to corporate store to see if they can help. Thank you.

Btw, through the end of December 18, 2025 eligible people who have/had AT&T service can submit for the AT&T class action settlement.

Even if you haven't actually had identity theft occur from the hack (yet) you could still get part of the settlement payout because your information was stolen from AT&T.



Here's a USA today article about it:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/mo...791841007/



Here's the Top Class Action information about the settlement (note originally the AT&T settlement needed to be submitted by November 18, 2025; but it somehow got extended to December 18, 2025. This particular Top Class Action article didn't update the submission deadline, but by following the link to the actual AT&T settlement website you can see that it clearly says that the deadline is now December 18, 2025):
https://topclassactions.com/lawsu...ettlement/



According to Top Class Action:
[Who's Eligible
For the AT&T 1 settlement class, individuals in the United States whose data elements were included in the AT&T 1 data incident that was announced on March 30, 2024.

AT&T 1 data elements include some combination of names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, account passcodes, billing account numbers and Social Security numbers.

For the AT&T 2 settlement class, AT&T account owner or line or end user whose AT&T 2 data elements were involved in the AT&T 2 data incident that was announced on or about July 12, 2024. AT&T 2 data elements mean current and former customer phone numbers, the phone numbers with which those customers interacted, counts of those interactions, aggregate call durations and, for a small number of individuals, one or more cell site identification numbers associated with the interactions.


Potential Award

For the AT&T 1 settlement class, up to $5,000 for documented losses or a tier cash payment. For the AT&T 2 settlement class, up to $2,500 for documented losses or a tier cash payment.



Proof of Purchase

For both the AT&T 1 and AT&T 2 documented loss cash payments, class members must submit documentation that is not self-prepared by the claimant, such as receipts, that supports the losses.

Self-prepared documents, such as handwritten receipts, personal accountings, statements, declarations or affidavits, are not sufficient on their own to qualify for reimbursement. However, these documents can be considered to add clarity or to support other submitted documentation.]





You don't need a physically mailed Class Member ID number. The settlement website can help you look up if you have a Class Member ID number under the Resend Class Member ID option on the website (please see screenshots).

The Class Member ID lookup is based on what your full name is and then either your email address, phone number, or AT&T account number.

I personally had 2 separate AT&T now cancelled account numbers, so though I tried to look both of them up I received the same Class Member ID number for both of them…

YMMV especially for those who have done the Walmart Black Friday iPhone gift card deals multiple times.

Good luck!
