ATT requires 60 days active before unlocking the phone. However, there is SIM Swap method which worked well in the past for unlocking paid-off ATT phones right away.
0. Do the following steps after paying off the phone fully and then waiting for a day or so for the unlock portal to get the paid off status.
1. ATT changed their unlock policy on 3/18 to require 60 days of service before they can unlock a fully paid device. Previously, it used to be right away if you have paid in full.
2. There two timeline 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.
3. You can use a tello number and port to ATT but you would have to make sure porting is successful by going to https://www.att.com/portstatus/. Many from z fold 3 got stuck in porting limbo and got the ATT account cancelled.
4. As with many deals here, a SIM swap method is found which can be used to unlock the device. This was working recently but not sure if ATT would fix it by the time you try it. The steps are as follows.
a. Pay in full for the phone.While your payment will quickly reflect in your account it will be at least a few hours before it updates for the unlock request.
b. 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.
c. Now go to ATT unlock portal https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/ and then choose not an ATT customer and use the IMEI of ATT phone and submit an unlock request.DO NOT attempt more than twice or you will be blocked for 24 hours.
d.Confirm the unlock request email and receive the unlock code.
e. 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 s22 ultra but in US two models are imp. S908U is carrier locked version and S908U1 is the unlocked US version. The firmware for these versions are interchangeable so you can flash the ATT model with S908U1 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 S908U1 XAA version from https://samfrew.com/model/SM-S908U1/region/XAA/ Extract as there will be multiple files.
4. Connect S22U to the windows PC.
5 .Put s22u 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.
Finally i received end of 3rd day. it was memorial day holiday when i ordered hence the delay. Was able to cancel it 4th day. Will likely get bill including the activation fee which will see if can get waived . Thanks OP

I only need to pay Phone + tax + activation fee? Or do I have to have 2 months service and cancel after phone unlock?
"Postpay Device Unlocking Policy
Devices that you purchase from Verizon are locked for 60 days after purchase. Devices that you purchase from one of our authorized retailers are locked for 60 days after activation. After 60 days, we will automatically remove the lock unless the device is deemed stolen or purchased fraudulently. Following the 60 day lock period, we do not lock our phones at any time."
And my experiences with verizon has been that they will NOT refund you activation fee or charges on its own. you would have to call them up to get waiver under buyer remorse. and the activation date is when it was ordered/shipped and not when you activated at your end. you may have to argue on that part if they do not waive.

Activation fee is fine, but If I cancel the line I need not pay 75$ for the service for first month, correct?
It will be 432(Device)+tax+35(activation)?

they will charge you for few days of service. i had to pay about $10 for couple of days.

How is ATT? Is the unlock process better? Last I know is we need to have the service up for 60 days to get phone unlocked..

side note:
citi cards have 50credit on 65 ATT payments, so with multiple, it is a great deal
I hope Best Buy price match this.

Purchased ATT version that doesn't arrive until day 3 or so after ordering. I registered at att and see the status is "Active" along with the new number and financed amount owed.
My question is, do we need to actually make a call on the att network in order for it to be recognized as activated? Or can I just pay off and cancel the line before the phone even arrives? Just want to make sure I don't get stuck with a locked phone. Would appreciate any insight, thanks!
If you don't want to end up with an ATT locked phone you will need to activate it on the network. FYI, the activation fee can be instantly waived from ATT bill by clicking "Don't recognize this fee" on web/app even if it's more than 3 days. Buyer's remorse cancellation window is 14 days though. See the wiki of this thread for more details about ATT cancellations and bills afterwards https://slickdeals.net/f/17327499-oneplus-nord-n30-5g-128gb-unlocked-chromatic-gray-cph2513-best-buy-0

Yeah but you might need to have credit card on account and use bot to cancel the account, the CS reps won't cancel the account before a month. You can cancel at the store by paying cash if they allow. The phone automatically unlocks after 60 days from activation in Verizon network regardless of active service.

Thank you!

See the posts above but if you want to unlock right away using SIM sway you do need to wait for the phone and follow the steps. You might also need to wait a day or so to do the SIM swap unlock after you pay it off. Refer to the posts above for instant reversal of activation fee on ATT even after 3 days
