You can do an eSIM swap to get it unlocked instantly with ATT phones but it's YMMV.

You can also ask CS nicely and they will unlock your phone if you have already paid the full price. The new Here are the steps for eSIM swap and some other information around plan cancellation etc. The new ATT policy says automatic unlock after 60 days without active service just like Verizon and I can't vouch whether that's true or not.


After buying the phone in Walmart in installments, you can pay off phone via ATT online chat. For Verizon you have to go to a store.

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.

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.

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

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.

You can use SIM swap method method to unlock the device. 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.

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.

Now go to ATT unlock portal (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.

Confirm the unlock request email and receive the unlock code.

ONLY CANCEL THE LINE AFTER YOU HAVE UNLOCKED THE PHONE. OTHERWISE, YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO UNLOCK IT ANYMORE.

Sucks that everyone has the same question and there is still no answer. Do I need a service plan? or can I just buy this, pay it off of and get it unlock immediately or at least in a few days?

Were they bill credits so you were locked in? That's the rub usually.

Buy, with $60 plan, pay off $299 within 2 or 3 days, call to cancel the $60 plan, put the phone in the drawer for 2 months...unlocked automatically after 2 months. Is this the procedure?

I have done this before. It is $299 financed over 36 months at $8.31 per month. You can sign up for service, once you receive the phone, pay it off online, call customer care and cancel the line. You will probably end up paying nothing or a minimal charge. Once paid off, wait for 24hrs and you can raise an unlock request with Att, phone will be unlocked once request is approved.

I think you need two months of active service unless someone else can confirm,

Does it matter if the delivery date is more than a couple of days from when I make the order and sign up with at&t? It says delivery for me would be the 15th of December (don't have a Walmart near me)

No, it starts from the day you activate the phone.

was it iPhone 13 with the physical sim swap swap trick ? this iPhone 15 use e-sim, is it still be able to do it ? ATT policy show "the phone must be active for at least 60 days (for postpaid), paid in full, not reported as lost or stolen, and the account must be in good standing"

Almost went through the purchase, but realized this is for the plus version. Great deal, but I needed the regular. Hope a similar deal pops up for it.
