Some other things to note are below, most important of which is the one time automatic refund of activation fee which can be done even after 3 days

ATT will send you a bill with the full amount even after you cancel your account so you have to do couple of things to get rid of charges.

1. When you open the bill in myATT app/att website there will be something called "Don't recognize this fee" under the activation. You can click on it to get rid of a activation fee. This is an instant and automatic credit. Also this works even if you cancelled the account after 3 days.

2. Chat with CS to get rid of rest of the charges. Make sure to not fall for credit in the next bill/adjusted in the next bill, Be polite but persistent that you want charges to be credited now. Bring up the policy if you have to (https://www.att.com/wireless/return-policy/ and then Consumer devices and then look for "Service cancellations within 14 days")

is the one time automatic refund per line or per account in case you buy two devices and want to go through the same process for both?

Have you done this through a Walmart purchase? Is it exactly like getting it through ATT (minus the bill credit)?
Yes, did multiple times in past. WALMART never does bill credits. It will be straight reduced amount financed for phone

Are you taking about ATT prepaid devices? They require 45$/Month plan.

It also tells me "We weren't able to process your application We weren't able to approve your application. To learn more, call AT&T at 8003310500." I have called the number but all they do is try to sell me an iphone directly from ATT. I also tried my wife's info and that didnt work either. I chatted with Walmart online but they just told me to call ATT.... Anybody got around this? would going to the store help?

Can I make this work for a replacement phone on our Cricket 5-line family plan. Wife has iPhone 13 where call volume only works on speaker. It was an AT&T phone that activated fine on Cricket plan. Would like to get this and use it in place of her current phone.

So:
- AT&T phones still work just fine on Cricket, yes?
- Also, could I do the SIM swap since her current phone is an AT&T unlocked phone?

TIA

- Yes they should work just without unlocking as long as you pay it off
- Yes you can do SIM swap with another unlocked or ATT locked phone.

Thanks for the reply! Of course in the short time since I asked, the 256GB is now OOS. šŸ™„

I don't have ATT Wireless account. I guess they didn't approve me even though I have an internet service with them
