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.

I initially selected 'Upgrade' below the 'Already have AT&T Wireless?' box that shows up when you go to add a phone to Walmart cart. Going through that process it was showing some random "Data Plan: MOBILE SHARE DEVICE $55/mo" for the service plan. I didn't want to risk losing an older plan I have so I aborted that approach and just chose the 'Add a line' option.
I ended up adding three lines which I didn't intend to keep. Like you I just wanted the phones.
Timeline:
Ordered phones 12/3
Phones delivered, activated, and paid off online on 12/6. Account showed online option to pay off devices so I didn't have to use chat.
Tried eSIM swaps on 12/7. Initially had some issues which I ultimately attributed to the 2nd gen iPhone SE I was trying to swap eSIM to. It is supposed to be eSIM compatible, but wouldn't handle the phone to phone eSIM swap (would always route me to ATT account login to do the swap, but that didn't work either). Ultimately got it to work for two of the phones using an iPhone 11 and a 12 Pro Max.
Was able to unlock successfully after the eSIM swap following Gadgetnerd's instructions here: https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=
On 12/8, I cancelled the two lines for which I had successfully unlocked the new iPhones. Did this via chat. It was a bit painful wading through all efforts by CSR to understand why I was cancelling and trying to make offers to get me to stay, but lines were cancelled.
I did a rinse/repeat of above for the last line, except decided to port it out to US Mobile which cost me $5 (cheapest plan option), but quite frankly was much faster and painless.
I don't have a final bill yet, but from estimated bill summary posted on my account it appears I may pay for a few days of pro-rated service and they may try to charge me for one of the 3 line activation fees (maybe for the line ported out?). Won't know until I get the final bill and will try to get rid of activation fees if any show up.
All in all very successful on getting 3 new phones unlocked for use on my current account or to port out with if I decide to change carrier.

Edit: it's Thursday now and the phone has shipped. Still in CA.
I'll summarize my experience with purchasing these phone on existing post-paid unlimited plan.

Yes, SoCal. Seems like the phones are shipping out of California so it was quick for me.
Could someone who has already unlocked his iPhone 15+ check to see if he can use his second IMEI by adding another carrier to the phone?
