Quote from WittyOctopus9593 Put the inactive RP sim card in the sim card slot. Power up your phone, connect to wifi. Wait for the phone to activate. Then you can go through the usual phone setup and confirm that the phone is sim locked under general -> about. Next go to att.com/deviceunlock. Start device unlock. Do you have att phone number? No. Type in your phone's IMEI (do NOT put IMEI 2, this is esim) then fill out your info on next page and submit. You will receive one email from at&t right away to confirm your request. Click to confirm and the second email should come soon with confirming the device is now unlocked. At this point, take out RP sim card and put a sim card for T-Mobile or Verizon (or any of their MVNOs) in the phone. Restart the device and it is now unlocked.

It is 100% true that Apple purposefully slow down older phones via updates, to get you to buy a new one. And even worse, they basically force those updates.
Not completely giving up yet, will be traveling and going to hit a few more Targets on my way. May just have to give in on the AT&T 14 deal.
I would also recommend checking your warranty. Mine says expired. I spoke with Apple support today. Supplied the serial number and was advised to wait 24 hours for their system to update.
Great deal if you don't mind a little work. Purchase was extremely easy. Was in and out quickly. I did get the last one. Rep checked the back, came out, rang it. I paid and was on my way. No discussion about service. He may have been aware they were selling them without service. Just be advised of the sim lock and coverage issue explained above.

I followed all the steps here using H2O sim and phone is showing unlocked at imeicheck.com/
One Q - It still shows Sim locked under carrier lock on the iPhone -> settings -> About. I removed the sim couple of times and restarted the phone too. Any idea when the carrier lock will go away.
