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

Btw, for those who are staying with AT&T or Verizon for a few months after starting a new iPhone contract in the hopes of doing T-Mobile Keep & Switch to help pay off up to $800/phone and up to 4 phones/account I have news!
https://www.t-mobile.com/switch/k...zon-or-att

T-Mobile Keep & Switch just recently added the iPhone 17 line up as eligible Keep & Switch phones that they'll help pay off for you if you port over to T-Mobile for a bit of time. The last time I looked at the website in the last month there was no stated minimum period of time needed to stay with T-Mobile to prevent them from clawing back the phone rebate cards…unlike what AT&T and Verizon do when they help someone buy out their contract.

Full updated eligible T-Mobile Keep & Switch phones:
[What phones are eligible to be used on your network for Keep and Switch?
  • Apple iPhone: 12 mini, 12, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max, 13 mini, 13, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max, SE (2022), 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, 14 Pro Max, 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max, 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max, 16e, 17, 17 Air, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max
  • Google Pixel: 5, 5a, 6, 6 Pro, 6a, 7, 7a, 7 Pro, 8, 8 Pro, 9, 9 Pro XL, 9 Pro, 9 Pro Fold
  • Samsung Galaxy: S20 5G, S20 FE, S20+, S20 Ultra, S21, S21 FE, S21+, S21 Ultra, S22, S22+, S22 Ultra, S23, S23 FE, S23+, S23 Ultra, S24, S24+, S24 Ultra, S24 FE, S25 FE, Note20, Note20 Ultra, Z Fold2, Z Flip3, Z Fold3, Z Flip4, Z Fold4, Z Flip5, Z Fold5, Z Flip6, Z Fold6
  • Motorola: edge, edge+, razr - 2023, razr+ - 2023, razr – 2024, razr+ 2024, razr – 2025, razr+ 2025, razr ultra – 2025]
Good luck!

Good luck!
Thanks for the update. Currently in the second month bill, I noticed that there was a device promotional credit of about $20 under the device monthly payment. Does anyone else who kept their Verizon plan see this too? After the device credit, the monthly cost would be like $67 including the monthly device charge, so the service itself is like $37/month including all taxes and fees. I might still try the Keep&Switch as I do not really need this line. My question is "Will Tmobile still offer $800 rebate or will they deduct the device credit from the rebate?"
