Have to go through walmart and walmart will then connect you to Verizon. You will get the phone from Verizon either way but $300 gift card is only eligible when you start the process with walmart. Hope this helps!

i would never deal with walmart+ ATT with this kind promotions.. or anything related to wireless phone with walmart as walmart is never good at handling customer service with issue i had.. last time i pulled the trigger with iphone 14.. they messed up.. they sent me the wrong phone with different sim card,, so they dont match. and icouldn't activate it or use it.. i was advice to return them ..and problem was returning the phone.. i did return it eventually but it somehow it was lost in transit.. I NEVER PAID FOR IT. as it was never my fault... att put the bill in colllection and i wil never ever deal with att again with such promotions. it was a battle with them calling back and forth every month.. in the end i was slapped with collection because i never paid it.. it was never my fault that Walmart messed it up .. then the phone was never received because it was stolen in transit.. if you face a problem with return or issue walmart is not good at this.. i even went to walmart store they dont want to take it in.. they said to mail it instead.... but its not a good experience when you have to deal with such issue like i had... so beware...

Is it me or is the T-mobile version of this not great. For Iphone 17, I have to pay 777 down and 10.50 a month for 2 years. At T-Mobile, I have an old phone for trade that gets me $150 taking my 2 yr payments to $680 total and that's on an old T-Mobile One plan. Even with the $300 GC, this isn't as good a deal. Am I missing something?

When I go through the process to upgrade for At&t it sends me a code to my phone, I type in the code and hit continue then it spins and comes back to the same screen which asks for my phone number, zip code, and last 4 or SS. How do I get out of this endless loop? It says a one time pin has been requested by I have no way of accepting it or seeing what the pin is.....Please help if anyone else is having this issue

Got it. Thank you. In this case, may go with target deal to get an unlocked phone from apple and avoid all the steps. iPhone 17PM 256 - $1249 + tax .$15 GC from Target for every $100 and 5% red card. Not $300 but saves al the hassle with carriers.
Is the Target deal over? I'm looking at the 17 Pro and it's not available nor does it mention the GC. Thank you.

Quote from jet000 :
I'm a bit confused, do I need to add a new line or can just activate this on existing line? am I required to pick the monthly payment option or can choose to pay full up front which I would prefer?
*someone might want to Pin this information*
DON'T PAY IT IN FULL UP FRONT! Someone in Event01 this year did that instead of buying on the 36month installment plan, and they never got the WM gift card as far as I know!

The initial purchase needs to be for the 36month contract and you can try to pay it off shortly afterwards. AT&T seems to allow you to fully pay it off online within a day or two after activation, but for paying it off with Verizon in 3 days you'll have to go into a CORPORATE Verizon store and pay it off in CASH!

If you're getting the deal at the physical Walmart store you could do a down payment for at least the Verizon phone,
and WHILE KEEPING THE 36MONTH CONTRACT pay everything EXCEPT $1.00 on the phone!

Several people did that in Event01, got emailed their WM gift cards shortly afterwards (since they bought it in the physical Walmart store), then they had to find a Corporate Verizon store to pay off the last $1.00, and then they had to call in and cancel their accounts etc within the first 3 days to get everything else refunded…

Try to make sure that the account is cancelled at the time that you're asking for it to be cancelled instead of someone setting it up to give you a bill for this month and then cancelling the account. Also, make sure that the activation fee is refunded since it's within 3 days.

Good luck!

How does this work on AT&T with a trade-in if you want to minimize the costs for the monthly plan and use the phone on T-Mobile (or any other carrier)? Since the trade-in credits start after 3 months and are split over 24-36 months according to the T&C, how do you get the full trade-in credit, the $300 gift card, and unlock the phone to move to another carrier?
If you're cancelling your account and/or are paying off your phone early then I believe any remaining trade in credits are cancelled on you.

It would probably be better to just sell your old phone outright than deal with being locked into a 3 year cell carrier contract to not lose part or all of the trade in credits from your old phone.

That's why the Black Friday WM egift card deal is so popular. The customers aren't losing bill credits for paying off early, and they still get the WM egift card.

Others here at slickdeals could probably point you to more legitimate websites to sell your old phone to. I haven't done it myself, so I can't help with any recommendations.
Good luck!

I had $400 remaining balance from iphone 15max. Verizon gave me an offer to write off the balance and $1100 trade in value for iphone 17 pro max. I guess i will stay with verizon another few years
You could always go over to T-Mobile Keep & Switch. https://www.t-mobile.com/switch/k...zon-or-att

T-Mobile Keep & Switch pays off up to $800/phone on phone contracts that are 90 days or older and up to 4 phones can be paid off at once per account/person.


Currently you can get up to the iPhone 16 model lines paid off, but I noticed that after the start of the year they usually start allowing the newest September iPhone releases to be eligible for T-Mobile Keep & Switch.

Example: Black Friday 2024 T-Mobile Keep & Switch only allowed up to iPhone 15 model lines, but around January 2025 they started allowing the iPhone 16 model lines.

Theory: Around January-February 2026 I think the iPhone 17 model lines will be eligible for T-Mobile Keep & Switch…which would be around 60-90 days from the Black Friday sales and near the needed 90 days needed for a phone contract to be eligible for T-Mobile Keep & Switch.

Please don't quote me on that, because I only looked and noticed the iPhone 16s being added sometime in January/February 2025.




Nowhere in the T-Mobile Keep & Switch offer's website have I seen that you must remain with T-Mobile for a certain amount of time to prevent the rebate from being clawed back (unlike AT&T and Verizon's offers to buy out a rival cell provider phone contract).

You'd likely have to pay 1 month to T-Mobile per phone being paid off, but T-Mobile Keep & Switch works with the Essentials plan which I believe is the cheapest postpaid T-Mobile plan for those who aren't 55+, first responders, military, teachers, etc.



After getting the prepaid card and paying off Verizon I'd recommend doing 1 month of service at T-Mobile and then porting out to a different carrier a day or two before the 2nd month at T-Mobile starts!



Since Verizon automatically unlocks at 60 days you can:
take screenshots/pdfs of the newest bills for your phone line/phone contract (you should check and see what exactly T-Mobile Keep & Switch wants screenshots of),
use T-Mobile to get an eSIM/start porting out (Verizon account might not be available after you start porting out),
submit for the T-Mobile Keep & Switch rebate(s),
get the prepaid digital card(s) around 15 days after submitting for the rebate,
and you could possibly use the prepaid digital card to help pay off your remaining Verizon bill…
or if the Verizon account doesn't let you change your payment method you could use the prepaid card to pay other things off in the next 6 months before the card expires.



Customers using T-Mobile Keep & Switch that are coming from other carriers have to have screenshots/pdfs of their last bill, pay the phone off, get the paid off phone unlocked, and then go over to T-Mobile Keep & Switch and work on submitting the rebate.



DEFINITELY CHECK THE T-MOBILE KEEP & SWITCH INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR CURRENT CARRIER BEFORE TRYING ANYTHING!
And maybe take screenshots of the current T-mobile Keep & Switch website including all of the FAQs answers being extended to have proof that there was no mention of a minimum amount of time needed to be on T-Mobile to prevent the rebate card from being clawed back.


Towards the top of the T-Mobile Keep & Switch website you can find their FULL TERMS: https://www.t-mobile.com/switch/k...zon-or-att

It's a bit complicated, but at least you don't get locked into a new 36month phone contract because of trading in your old phone that's still on contact. Heck, after the old phone is paid off you could just sell it outright online instead of using it as a trade in that locks you into a new phone contract…

Good luck!

For Tmobile only new lines, no upgrades. But the fine print says upgrades too. Weird.

On AT&T iPhone 17 Pro, Pro Max get $1100 bill credits if you trade in iPhone 14 Pro Max or higher, $700 in bill credits in iPhone 14 Pro or lower, or if you get the iPhone 17 or iPhone Air:

If I have an iPhone 14 Pro, am I shit out of luck? Do trade in values ever go up? Is it on purpose in conjunction with the promotion?
WAIT 2 more weeks!
ATT has a better deal comingfor xmas (they all likely do)

If you missed the initial trade in promo, these BF deals are just kinda trying to catch those with fomo of missing the original ones.
it gets better the longer you wait.
