Too much hassle and it's not guaranteed to not get charged
24 months of bill credits is NOT free
Wow it keeps falling, wish I had been a little more patient lol..

Update: Just got my bill and everything credited via chat even though I canceled on day 4. I did the activation first then did chat for the rest. Maybe I got lucky but she didn't even really ask any questions.

For those from google voice, just make sure you unlock the account for $3 first. That delayed my port but otherwise I was able to follow the instructions perfectly.
Good to know. Wanted to cancel yesterday but they were closed. Technically it's been less than 72 hours since I opened my account late on Tuesday at 8:30 pm eastern but today is day 4 of having my account. Don't know if they go by the date you opened the account or the time you opened the account when determining the days the account has been opened

It should work too although you might need to call ATT to verify the line is cancelled.
Ok, thanks, will probably give it a try next week.

Just got off chat after requesting the cancel request. Be very careful and make sure they are cancelling it immediately. The guy tried to cancel my account effective in June. I told him to cancel it today.

He said he will cancel it today but "you will still pay for the whole cycle". Once I get the bill that's when I dispute the charges correct? I just opened the line this past Tuesday 4/30/24

As I mentioned it original post, activation fee can be waived (YMMV) by clicking on that bill. I'd do that first before chatting with them for other fees.

Yeah, wait for the bill and then chat with them. Some CS don't know how and when the bill is generated and ATT policy of charging only for prorated days.

How long is the wait time after I submit unlock request? A few hours already. Is it normal?

Check your unlock status
Current status - IN-PROGRESS
We're reviewing your unlock request now—it can take up to two business days to process.
Please make sure to check your email or text messages for updates.
if they decline the unlock they won't email you have check the link for status.

The policy is paid in full when you bought it (it was not purchased on an installment plan). You must wait 60 days from your purchase date to submit an unlock request.

Nothing about having active 60 days of service even if cancel the service like the installment plan requires.

No problem. Make sure you tell them you are paying in full $199 and not on monthly installments. The guy almost put me on installments

You can use any unlocked phone on any provider.
gadgetNerd, you are a rockstar! Everything is working great. I got the Samsung Galaxy S23 on BestBuy. Got a new line and new phone number. They activated the account onsite.
I created an at&t account and logged in. Galaxy S23 is showing on my account online.
I then followed step 3, 4, and 5. Got the confirmation email and followed step 7.
I got the unlock code. I used Tmobile on S23 and entered the unlock code. Success! New galaxy S23 working great on TMobile!

Called customer service and cancelled my line without any issue.

Thank you so much for simple steps. I'm now waiting for the final bill to come to try to get them refunded. So far it's been easy and simple.

Thanks again gadgetNerd!

Worked for me as described in the OP. Thanks.

Only issue is I am now trying to clear AT&T's software and the link to the xda downloads are dead. Does anyone have an updated link?

3. Download the firmware from S911U1 XAA version using frija https://github.com/SlackingVetera...a/releases (fast) or from https://samfrew.com/firmware/mode.../Desc/0/10 (slow) Extract as there will be multiple files.

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sams...Id=6530811


My Model is S911U, region ATT. I'm unable to download firmware using Frija. I entering SM-S911U and csc as XAA but it's not finding anything.

I tried
Model: SM-S911U or SM-S911U1 or S911U or S911U
CSC: XAA or OYU or ATT

I also have to enter my IMEI btw.
