Community Reviews

This Walmart Verizon Galaxy S24 Ultra deal centers on a very low upfront price with immediate unlock potential after full payoff. The phone can be bought with just tax or a small in store payment, and the account setup has been quick when stock is available. Several reports say the device unlocks within about an hour after payoff, with Verizon corporate stores and cash payments helping the process. The main catch is timing, since some stores and the app block payoff until the first bill appears or about 30 days, and cancellation can trigger activation fee and final bill hassles. A strong low cost route if the payoff window lines up.

  • people buying an S24 Ultra at Walmart specifically to pay it off fast and get it unlocked right after payoff because multiple commenters said the phone unlocked immediately after full payoff with no waiting time (and in one case it showed unlocked within about an hour).

  • Verizon customers who can wait for their first bill to populate before attempting payoff because commenters reported corporate-store payoff worked once the account/line was showing the first bill (about ~18 hours delay), and trying earlier got blocked by the system.

  • buyers planning to move the device to US Mobile after unlocking because commenters said they paid off at a Verizon corporate store, canceled the lines, and then successfully moved the phones to US Mobile.

  • people who are okay paying off in-store with cash/debit because at least one commenter said the corporate store required cash for payoff and that was part of getting the unlock to happen.

  • people who want to pay off immediately the next day (or before the first bill shows) because several commenters said the store system blocked payoff until a later date or until the first bill populated, with one store showing payoff available on March 11th.

  • buyers who need guaranteed immediate unlock timing after payoff because multiple commenters reported unlock/payoff timing was inconsistent (some saw delays or had to wait for updates before the unlocked status appeared in settings).

  • buyers who don't have a payment method on their Verizon account because commenters reported eligibility/payoff could be delayed or complicated when there was no payment method on file.

  • people relying on chat to cancel lines and avoid activation-fee headaches because commenters said chat sometimes lacked the option to cancel and they had to call Verizon support instead.

Ran to my nearest 2 Wal-Marts. Found 4 in stock at one and bought them all. Took about 45 minutes to get the entire account setup.

If you payoff right away, still need to add a line or do upgrade?
Yes, that always the requirement for these deals

Thank you so much. I was able to replicate this deal yesterday. Got the S24 Plus for $49.99 and the salesperson was nice enough to look up other locations and found the S24 Ultra about 15 minutes away. Setup was super easy. Going to move these to my US Mobile account once Verizon allows me to pay them off. Tried to do it last night, but I can only see the monthly and total amount due in the app.

You can pay off at a Verizon corporate store but it's a bit YMMV. Online you can pay off only after 30 days.

I am curious to know if anyone is able to unlock the phone immediately after paying it off in full.

Thanks, I just tried what I thought was a corporate store and they showed that I was not eligible for payoff until 3/5. Apparently having a big Verizon sign out front and on the building and only selling Verizon and wearing Verizon apparel makes them an Authorized dealer only. He gave me the location of a corporate store so I'm going to try there. My next question is can I just cancel the service and would that trigger the payoff process. I really don't want to pay the activation fee and it looks like if I cancel within three days that's waived. They are have my first bill loaded up and it's $235. 😟

No, you have to pay off first and then cancel. Otherwise they will send you a final bill with the payoff amount but I am not sure it will unlock at that point or not. So it's imp to 1. Payoff, 2. Make sure the phone is unlocked as per new vzw policy, 3. Cancel.

Went to my nearby Walmart and asked about the S24 Ultra or the S24 Plus. They had x1 Ultra and x2 Plus for Verizon. Bought all 3 to add new lines to my existing V account.

New numbers and new lines. Took about 10 minutes for each phone. In store payment was just the tax $4-plus and $8-ultra.

My V account shows the new lines and phones with the correct $49 & $99 total pay off.

I will cancel the new lines in a few days once the 'pay-off' button appears under the 'manage device' page. Hopefully before 3 days, but if not, still a good price.

On the phones, I can't find anything that says 'network locked', but I do get a message to call Verizon when I insert my AT&T SIM card. I'll make sure this works before I cancel the lines.

Let us know if it gets unlocked right away after paying them off. It's possible the payoff won't appear for a month so you might need to head to Verizon corporate store if you want to void the activation fee.

Update, I paid off my phones today at a corporate store after tons of prying questions. They made me pay in cash. Chatted with a rep online to cancel my lines and made sure the cancelation was effective immediately. Both phones unlocked after about an hour and now on US Mobile. Thanks again everyone.

Are you running US mobile on top of something other than Verizon or did you get a notification or network setting showed it got unlocked?
