S23 for $299
S23+ for $399
S23 ultra for $549
IMO great price for S23U
The VZW S23 is $50 more. VZW one unlocks after 60 days even if you cancel the account. For ATT read below for instant unlock.
1. There are two timelines for the cancellation. If you cancel a line before 3 days it was active then the activation fee is waived. If you cancel it within 14 days from activation under buyers remorse then no bill is charged but activation fees need to be paid. The line activates on right when you place the order not the day you receive the phone on hand so you might have to pay the activation fee of $35.
2. You can get a new number in a best buy store or you can use a tello number and port to ATT to do this all online but you would have to make sure porting is successful by going to https://www.att.com/portstatus/.
3. You can use SIM swap method method to unlock the device.
4. When you receive the phone activate it on ATT with the SIM provided. Make sure it shows up on myATT app/in the web so ATT knows and registers the IMEI in the network. Then put the SIM in another unlocked phone, reboot, make some calls and make sure this unlocked phone is now showing under the line in app/web portal.
5. Now go to ATT unlock portal https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/ and then choose not an ATT customer and use the IMEI of s23 and submit an unlock request.
6.Confirm the unlock request email and receive the unlock code.
7. Only cancel the line after you have unlocked the phone.
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 s23U but in US two models are imp. S918U is carrier locked version and S918U1 is the unlocked US version. The firmware for these versions are interchangeable so you can flash the ATT model with S918U1 firmware.
2. Download patched odin v3.14.1_3B_PatchedD.zip from https://xdaforums.com/t/patched-o...1.3762572/ as regular odin does not allow flashing mismatched firmware.
3. Download the firmware from S918U1 XAA version from https://samfrew.com/firmware/mode.../Desc/0/10 Extract as there will be multiple files.
4. Connect S23U to the windows PC. Make sure developer mode is turned on in the phone.
5 .Put s23u 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.
Cancellation of the ATT account and bill thereafter
== Will ATT send me a bill after the account is cancelled?
Firstly, keep the ATT buyers remorse policy handy when you talk to them. See https://www.att.com/wireless/return-policy/ click on "Consumer and Signature Customer Program Devices and Accessories" and here are the policy terms
"Service Cancellations within 14 Days. You may call us at 800-331-0500 to cancel wireless service. You are responsible for all applicable fees, prorated access charges, taxes, surcharges, or other charges through the termination date. AT&T will refund your activation fee, if any, if service is terminated within 3 days of activation. The charges for service used on the account before the service termination date may be applied against any down payment."
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.

Believe it or not, that type of gaming is tracked and no one will be able to fix that for you.
Ex-AT&T employee.
PS: If you don't care, that's fine. But If you do, then you should be aware of this and pick your deals carefully.
Also s24 have similar att offers through best buy for +$100 to $150

You can use the following tool to download any Samsung firmware at much faster speeds. Just put in the model number for the device and end with u1 for the unlocked firmware instead u.

In any case, I've been w/ Verizon forever, have never seriously considered switching companies, but that's mostly out of complacency / lack of consideration for getting a better deal, which I'm now at least considering considering, lol. (I don't even know what the general opinion of Verizon is but I wouldn't be surprised if there's better services out there).
I'm really ignorant to a lot of this stuff so please excuse that.
Whats the difference between the two other than the OS? Are the baseband modems different? Different radio frequencies?
If those are the same you could get the non-VZW lm unlock the bootloader and install the stock VZW firmware.
Someone correct me if wrong.
And another question, Is the E-sim also unlocked ?

There is no difference between the two in terms of modem etc, only model numbers are different.
And another question, Is the E-sim also unlocked ?
If you cancel the line within 3 days, activation fee will be waived.

And yeah eSIM is also unlocked.
Yes, I do it for these ATT deals with my wife's ATT account.
See wiki to how to get it unlocked right away. Once unlocked you can use it with any carrier including tmobile
Edit: so I pulled the trigger on this for att adding a new line, what steps do I change from the wiki to get it unlocked and waive charges? Thanks!

Yeah, you cancel the line afterwards. ATT will send you a bill later on with the charges as I mentioned in the wiki but you can do chat with them to take it off.
The unlock and flashing instructions are same no matter which way you go
So I placed the order Thursday night , got confirmation to pickup from BB store on Friday. Picked it up Friday evening, unlocked Saturday morning. If I try to chat on Sun morning, and cancel acct , will it be still within 3 day period ?
