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.

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.
$8.31/mo for 36 months or pay off $299.16 is just for the phone price. One has to add the AT&T data plan at least $60/mo for two months to have the phone unlocked. So a total price for this phone unlocked will cost $419.16. Is it correct? Wish the poster could mention that.

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.
I got all done withing 3 days.​ check my timeline on previous 16 pro max deal

Yeah, the $300 is just for the phone only. I mention it in the original post, but it might not show up on the mobile app. The total price varies because some people might be new or existing customers, and then there are tricks like tl215 mentioned.

yes but seems a bit more complicated, some people saying the cancelation timer to avoid fees begins at shipping time. And lots of Walmarts are showing Dec 15th for earliest shipment due to holiday surge. Dont think we can buy in store. Any input here?

I currently have a 4GB data plan and do not want to move to an unlimited plan. Can I get this phone and keep my current 4GB plan?
It will change your data plan to an unlimited plan. Previous years, it didn't do this. So, double-check all items/costs listed at the final step (they are actually listed really clearly) before you commit.

At the final screen, it says, "Data Plan: MOBILE SHARE DEVICE $55/mo"

This is strange because that doesn't even make sense - I think that is a plan for non-phone devices, like laptops or hotspots.

What does everyone else's last screen say for the Device Plan and Data Plan?

You send request as non att customer. No unlock code involved. After the unlock request, iPhone will be unlocked by Apple.

I ran into a similar message when I tried to do it as an upgrade to an existing post-paid line on an unlimited plan.

Mine said:
$67.50/mo for MOBILE SHARE DEVICE

I didn't go any further for fear of what It might do to my existing plan.
