Walmart iPhone SE “hack” (alien.top)

Can someone please describe the process, in detail, of how you can get a brand new iPhone SE for like $100 from Walmart’s talk plan, but then wait two months so it’s unlocked for your own carrier?

Do you have to sign up with personal info? Or do you just buy the phone and someone at Walmart activates it with a random number?

Why can’t you touch the iPhone for 2 months?

I have so many questions. Please “explain it like I’m 5.”

Thanks in advance!

Thanks so much for the info. A few more questions though.

  1. Can you make up info? Since it’s a pay as you go type of plan, can I say I’m Bob Smith when I sign up and they won’t verify it? Or is it one of those credit check sorta sign ups and they’re going to ask for ID and such?

  2. He already has a phone number. But he’s on a pay as you go plan with T-Mobile. So are you saying you get a new phone number when you start with Walmart, but in 60 days he can take out the SIM card and pop in his old one from his iPhone 6 and everything will be okay?

Thanks again.
