In Verizon , no risk. Get the phone , activate it , Make a call, Pay off the phone ( either with in 3 days to avoid activation or after 14 days ) and cancel the line. Phone will be autoamatically unlocked.

Risk is in ATT phone which require , sim swap.

I hope this help.

This has the inefficient 8 gen 1 processor, meaning you'll have disappointing battery life. The S23+ has among the best battery life (plus it's newer, will get updates for longer, ...). So if you're not awfully tight on money, you'll likely be more pleased for longer with the S23+.

Edit: Also, the S23+ has 256 GB of storage, while the S22+ in this deal has 128 GB.

I'm going to practice on a Walmart/Verizon Samsung Galaxy a14 to make sure this works.

Trying to get the schedule right. Does this work?
- Monday (Day 0) Buy phone on Walmart website.
- Wednesday (Day 2) Phone arrives with 2-day shipping.
- Wednesday (Day 2) Activate, make a phone call and text.
- Wednesday (Day 2) or Thursday (Day 3) Call Verizon support to cancel service.
- Wait at least 60 days. You can tweak out the phone during this time, trying to uninstall bloatware, setting up an SD card, etc...
- Punch IMEI into https://www.t-mobile.com/resource...-own-phone BYOD checker. It should say the phone is unlocked and good. (It should be unlocked automatically)
- Re-activate on any USA mobile network. I'll probably go with US Mobile (A MVNO for Verizon and T-Mobile).

There seem to be a lot of these AT&T/Verizon locked phone deals.

Is there a guide anywhere on how to exactly, step-by-step, buy this phone and turn it into an off-contract, unlocked phone in 60 days?

Something that explains things like sim swap method, or exactly how it gets unlocked. Who to pay, when to pay it, who to call, when to call, what to say, etc...?

These look like good deals, but there is some work and risk involved, and I'm not one to gamble $200 easily.
Looks like $250-$300 on Ebay/Swappa unlocked lots of work for $50-$100 savings.

Lots of deals on the FE phones and S series phones on SD right now. But the deals on the S series are way better than the FE all things considering the fact the S series are flag ship.

I think your better off going with a last gen flag ship than a brand new mid range phone any day of the week. IMO

Can line be canceled online/via app? Or have to talk to a rep?

Sort of interested in that S23 Plus so following this. I'm assuming that has both a sim slot as well as esim--are they both locked down to Verizon even if you pay it off/unlock it?

So what's the catch here?

My S20FE has been treating me well after a few years, but at this price if I can use this on my T-Mobile network after unlock it seems like a no brainer.
S22 is famous for it's bad battery life. I think the niche person who wants a flagship experience for 200$ but is willing to charge their phone during the day would like this deal.

I had the normal s22 and couldn't stand it and bought a pixel, though the S23 and S24 are known for having much better battery life if you like samsung phones.

S22 was the worst galaxy I've ever owned. Disappointing performance bad battery. It's not even me. My non tech saavy mom who loved her s10 hates the s22. It's buggy glitches overheats. Got the s24 and love it. The phone performance is day and night. Just waiting for a deal to upgrade mom on s24. There's a reason this phone is this cheap. Also was excluded from my most trade in promotions last two years was seriously PO'd about that. New Motorola phone guess what s22 excluded. Flip 5g s22 was excluded. Mine was paid off and I never got to reap the trade in value of the device until samsung website s24 promo. Best buy $0 trade in value. This phone sucks. I neve hated a galaxy more than this one. Almost went back to the s20 but s24 had orange color so I jumped on it. No regret.

Processor on s22 would cause apps to be slow not function properly crash. My mom uses marketplace and browses web a lot. Data and. Network would be slow. Something about the performance of this device and my s22 just barely made it usable. She would use a lg G8 backup phone on wifi rather than s22.

Please let us know how it goes. Also how do you pay off this phone ? Is it also through rep over a call or online?
