Then after unlocking if you are feeling adventurous and want to flash the phone to an unlocked firmware to get rid of ATT bloat you can follow these steps. It's actually very easy to do with Odin.

1. There are many models of s22 ultra but in US two models are imp. S908U is carrier locked version and S908U1 is the unlocked US version. The firmware for these versions are interchangeable so you can flash the ATT model with S908U1 firmware.
2. Download patched odin v3.14.1_3B_PatchedD.zip from https://forum.xda-developers.com/...1.3762572/ as regular odin does not allow flashing mismatched firmware.
3. Download the firmware from S908U1 XAA version from https://samfrew.com/model/SM-S908U1/region/XAA/ Extract as there will be multiple files.
4. Connect S22U to the windows PC.
5 .Put s22u in download/recovery/odin mode. Power down. Press Volume up and down together and then press Volume up to go into recovery (a green screen would appear).
6. Start odin and then select different files for different categories and then start.
7, It should be now the US unlocked version.

I am still hanging on to my S10. The ability to use an SD card is huge in book. I really hate that they got rid of that.

Are you sure? I thought they completely got rid of SD cards after the S20.

Wasn't the Note 20 Ultra released almost 3 years ago?

Also Samsung reserves a certain amount of storage for updates. With the amount of space some apps, photos and video take 128gb doesn't feel like enough anymore and no SD port too

There's only been one Ultra model released this year...the S23 Ultra. No SD card slot.

Yeah about then. Looks like that's the last thing with an sd card that isn't a basic phone.

I found that model as the last sec before giving up and getting a phone without an sd slot

If you don't need a replacement phone now, just wait for the next Google Fi promo.

Got my unlocked S23 Ultra 512gb for $600. Got 4 Fi referrals that gave me $80 in Fi credits, too.

It's still a year newer than S10 and offers decent hardware improvements including 5G and if gotten at discounted price I would probably make sure battery is either replaced or has good life and it should last for a while.

Be careful with buying AT&T locked phones at places other than AT&T. I purchased the s21 ultra direct from Samsung for at&t and tried to get it unlocked 5 times with their customer service and have been unsuccessful. They said the IMEI wasn't in their data base and they had to manually override it which hasn't worked. YMMV
