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 long did you wait after paying off the phone before you requested the unlock?
First after 24 hrs after payoff (twice), then after new eSIM activated to replace phone (once), now when I try it says wait 24 hrs before using the unlock request website again. Problem is, I'm on day 3 and if I don't cancel the line today will be billed!

sounds like the worst case scenario. I'll make my first attempt tomorrow as i received the phone today just a couple hours ago. Worried about the return process of returning to walmart after paying off the phone via chat through ATT. feel like it may be another headache trying to get the $299.99 back from ATT.

Why can't I swap my eSIM to another unlocked phone? I've tried several devices, but the phone doesn't show the AT&T number to transfer.

on my unlocked iphone, i went to settings > cellular > add esim. below the "Use QR Code" method the phone number from the locked iphone populated automatically and asked me if i wanted to move the esim over to my unlocked phone.i have the same icloud account signed into both phones which may have contributed to the ease of transferring the sim over

It's weird that I don't have that option. I've tried resetting several times, but it didn't work.

I paid off through chat with customer care. For context, I activate my phone and within 15 minutes signed into my ATT account online to contact them through chat and pay it off.

I'm going to attempt my unlock request after 10PM Central time, so in about an hour. If it works, I'll update the thread and give the same exact steps I did to get it unlocked.

I tried using the AT&T unlock website after payoff as customer, non-customer, both denied. Activated new phone to replace the iPhone 15 on AT&T account, tried again through website but now gives error "You've tried to unlock this device too many times. Wait 30 days and then submit a new request". Asked AT&T chat support and they can't unlock, shows as not eligible (even though paid off, swapped off account)...
You need to wait overnight to send unlock request

You will be billed no matter what. I ported out within 3 days. Att charged me for 4 days of service.
I paid $8.10 after $45.67 credit .
