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

it is variant locked from manufacture
Can they create an account and give you a SIM as it should just work when you pop in the SIM.
Possibly if the stars align but many are having problems getting the ATT account/line setup which is needed before you can pay off.

What should I do? How do I know if the account was even set up? When I placed my order, it populated a phone number. I didn't write it down and didn't save it. I just signed all the agreements...

You got a free phone, just go to a Verizon store to open a new Verizon post paid account and put the SIM in the phone to activate, come back home and cancel the line. The phone will automatically unlock after 60 days. Do verify with them before one more time that they don't have your info linked with any Verizon account.
1) I paid off the phone yesterday while it was in transit. Received today.
2) I inserted SIM into S24 Ultra and made calls / texts. Confirmed on att.com that data use / text / calls were updating with what I was doing on the phone. There was a bit of a delay between making the calls/data use vs. when it showed up.
3) I then swapped the SIM to my unlocked Pixel 9 Pro (P9P) and rebooted. I disabled my eSIM that's on Tmobile just to be safe. Made some calls and texts. Waited about 15 mins and att.com still showed the S24 Ultra. I then downloaded the Myatt app on my P9P and navigated to the Device tab and saw that it did indeed show my P9P and not the Ultra. I thought this step was important if you're just checking the att.com page. Check the app to see if it updates to the new device.
4) I followed through to the unlock site and chose non-ATT, entered the IMEI and just waited for confirmation email. Confirmed and got the unlock code 5 mins later.
Thanks for everyone's help on this! I really appreciate it. Now to cancel the line...
"Prepaid Device Unlocking Policy
Devices that you purchase from Verizon and certain devices purchased from one of our authorized retailers are locked for 60 days after paid activation. After 60 days of paid active service and ordinary usage, we will automatically remove the lock unless the device is deemed stolen or purchased fraudulently. Following the 60 day lock period following device purchase, we do not lock our phones at any time.
If you purchase a 4G Phone-in-a-Box from one of our authorized retailers, you should review the back of the box to determine the lock period applicable to that device."
60 days of PAID ACTIVE SERVICE for prepaid.
I am not sure if this was for me but I think the prepaid devices they are talking here are special ones purchased from Verizon or Walmart which are clearly marked prepaid. In this case you are doing a prepaid line but bringing your own device but you can interpret this the way you did so maybe it won't work with prepaid with just 60 days wait.
