Thanks. But my understanding is that SM-S911U1 is for the regular S23 not the plus.
Sm-916U1 for S23 plus with XAA for the CSC version.

What's the best way to do this for someone who has an AT&T account/line already and is due for an upgrade?

Add a new line and cancel. If you upgrade, you will need to pay $100 more. I do these by adding then cancelling a line on my wife's ATT account.

That's what I used and it gives me an error message (Firmware information for provided Model/CSC not found) even after using both IMEIs and Serial number. I've read online that the firmware for the plus isn't available yet as of 3 months ago, so if anyone was able to get the firmware downloaded for the Plus model I'd appreciate any insights.

You're welcome Smilie I am curious to know if you have faced any problems doing SIM swap or did something different as some here reportedly were not able to get it to work.

Alright, got the phone here, tested that it can make calls using the AT&T plan. I've been following this guide here, I'm at the SIM swap part. I slotted the AT&T sim from the S23+ into gf's iPhone 13 Pro, logged into the AT&T app and site, it's not showing the iPhone 13 Pro under my account. Is this normal? Still shows the S23+.

EDIT: Reloaded the app, looks it went through!

I haven't got my device yet, but for some reason, when I log into AT&T's website, it isn't showing the 'unlock eligible' message on the Phone. I clicked it yesterday, and it took me to another page and said it isn't eligible for unlock. I'm hoping this doesn't affect me doing the SIM swap when it gets here in some way.

Completely normal, saw that too on my end. My guess is the website's just detecting that your device has no installment plans left to cover.

Got the unlock done pretty easily, just used gf's old Verizon sim. About to cancel my line, looks like there's an automated rep who can do it on the spot, BUT it does give the warning: "You're still responsible for your current bill period. It won't be prorated based on your cancel date."

Guess it's off to call them.

Were you able to unlock the phone? You can chat with them to cancel, just chat with a person from billing. Insist on cancelling the line right away

EDIT: Read that you were able to unlock. any problem you faced?

Nope, surprisingly pretty smooth. Was expecting to run into snags. Off to chat with the billing rep, hope it's an actual human being.
