This Walmart postpaid phone deal pairs an iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max with a $500 Walmart e-gift card, and the strongest value comes from using the gift card to offset the device cost. The phone must be financed through Verizon or AT&T, with sales tax due at checkout, and the card is often emailed after activation or purchase. The main catches are carrier lock-in, possible credit checks, and location or plan restrictions, including reports that some orders cancel or require in-store purchase. It is a workable route if you can handle the financing terms and carrier timing.
Common Questions (5)
Yes. The deal is a postpaid installment plan, not bill credits, so you can pay it off early and then request unlock. Verizon is often described as unlocking after payoff, while AT&T can unlock soon after payoff if the line is eligible.
For in-store purchases, the eGift card can arrive by email within minutes or within 24 hours after activation. For online orders, it is typically emailed later, with one report saying about 3 weeks and the terms saying within 21 days after shipment.
No. The deal has been reported as not working with Verizon's Simplicity plan, and some attempts on that plan were cancelled. In-store ordering was also suggested as the workaround when online upgrade options fail.
Yes, it is a postpaid financing deal, not prepaid. New accounts can trigger a credit check, and one report described it as a soft check.
Yes, upgrading through Walmart can let you keep your existing Verizon plan, including older legacy plans with bundled streaming perks. That makes the deal attractive if you want the phone without changing your current plan.

My guess is it involves asking AT&T, after you activate the phone with them, to move your line to a different phone that has an eSIM.
As I said, per my Google query, it appears they blocked that, if that is even the same as what is being mentioned.

WHY I LIKE THIS DEAL-
- I shop enough at WM/Sams that the $500 GC will get used in short order.
- Already a VZW customer but not interested in "upgrading" to a new plan.
- Already have an unlocked iphone that I can sell to recoup some of the cost.
If you meet those criteria like I do then I'd say this is a good deal. When all is said and done I'll be upgrading from a used 14 Pro Max 128gb to a new 17 Pro Max 256gb for $200-300. Worth it for me.My guess is it involves asking AT&T, after you activate the phone with them, to move your line to a different phone that has an eSIM.

Could you please share your experience afterwards? This would be very helpful!
Edit: sorry I did not read your first line 😅
If you port to tmo under switch and save after 3 mo payments that's $800 savings
