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.

how is this deal different than the last Walmart deal for the Iphone 16 pro w/ $500 GC? Most if not all were able to unlock the phones immediately after paying it off.
Exactly, I think we should be able to unlock after payoff, I read on that thread that most people paid off and canceled within 3 days to avoid any charges.

Quote from radars :
Do you mean pay off $299.16 after activation and request for unlocking the phone after 60 days? Will it work?
You can definitely pay it all off shortly after activation, as I've done that many times. But as far as the 60 day thing, that's just from their policy I've read and from others here, so I'm personally not 100% sure. In my case, I've had AT&T for a long time, and I usually just request the unlock after paying it off. Sometimes I've had to just wait a day after paying it, if anything.

Does that "Upgrade fees may apply on your future phone bill" mean one will be billed upgrade fees after 36 months?

The item listing states this price is online only.

If so, this is a non starter for those of us who would like to buy the phone, pay it off, unlock it and cancel the line within 3 days so we get all service costs refunded.

They start the clock when the phone ships, not when you receive it. That's how it's been for years. If that has changed, someone please share if you have first hand experience.

Otherwise it's a luke warm deal that requires 2 months of service that pushes the phone cost up too much.

60 days
that is why you need to do: pay off, esim swap then unlock request then cancellation. no need to keep the service for 60 days.

Quote from CyanWing :
Should add a disclaimer that you just took the old instructions for doing it with a physical SIM capable phone then added an "e" in front of the word SIM and haven't actually done the method you're sharing on an eSIM only phone.

It does not work for the record.

If this is yet another bill credit deal, they dont make sense when you multiply out what you pay for service plus the phone over 36 months unless you just enjoy overpaying for your service. Better to get a low cost provider and buy your own phone.
