I tried an AT&T deal last month. BestBuy tried their best and AT&T kept being rude and/or hanging up. I was at BestBuy 3.5 hours the first day and a few days later for another hour. I'm not sure that AT&T can do enough promos to work themselves out of their mismanaged mess.
I want to do this deal but I fear that I'll be put in the AT&T runaround game. It seems like a lot can go wrong with this deal.

You tried picking in-store? Or what was the problem? I'm trying in-store pick-up.

Also was your service charged when it was picked up for in-store?

I cancelled after 2 days and said that i didn't recognize the $35 activation fee.

I got a $49.98 bill and the next day it went down to $6.14 for the 2 days of "usage" lol

Phone is UNLOCKED and already flashed! All ATT Crap is Gone!

GREAT DEAL! KUDOS again to gadgetNerd

Not sure what went wrong. Followed all the suggested steps but unlock request did not go through citing "this device is still associated with an active ATT account". Called CS and they can't see the device associated with my account. Then I was given the usual "waiting for 60 days to unlock" msg. Anyone running into this msg? Thanks.

I don't think so as the phone is not activated yet if they send a separate ATT SIM. At any rate, you should try SIM swap when it arrives.
I followed the steps, but still received the message, 'This device is still associated with an active ATT account' The account owner needs to remove the device from their account first. So, I decided to chat with AT&T and ask for the code directly. They went ahead and gave me an unlock code in the chat. I've already had the line canceled, the activation fee credited, and the firmware flashed to U1 Smilie

It's good to know that you are able to get the code. This is only the second time I'm hearing CS giving out the code.

May be put the SIM back in S23 and then chat with CS for a code?

The point of the deal is to get it unlocked using SIM swap instantly.
what is the sim swap method we are talking? put a non att sim and ask it to request unlock code prompt?

What's the best way to cancel the service?

Ordered tello number in AM
Picked up at store in afternoon with tello port
Port status still in process
Did sim swap. ATT recognized my device after swap
Requested unlock code and got the unlock code successfully
Did some test call using visible in s23 and works.

Now trying to cancel the service via chat. Says no reps available.
Need to chat on Monday?

Edit looks like my billing period ends in three days. It's odd

Anyone tried purchasing unlock code via ebay or third party unlocking services? I found one at ebay for about $10, and one of the requirements seem to be all Att bill need to be paid. So after canceling service and paying off the final prorated bill, the ebay unlock code should theoretically work.

appreciate it, however the you are saying the firmware fpr the S23 is the S911U1 XAA Version.

so i assume if I bought the S23+ i should download the:SM-S916U1 XAA ?

Can someone confirm that?
