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

My phone is still with fedex, but number already shows up in my account, not sure whether it already start tick the clock.
I'm in the same boat, also my delivery is delayed until next week. So, there is no way for me to make a payment, get the phone unlocked, and cancel the account within 3 days of placing the order.

1. $360 for S24+ from AT&T
2. $35 activation fee
3. Pro-rated monthly service fees if cancelling after 3 days but before 14 days of activation???
If the swap SIM unlocking does not work for any reasons (most likely because I am just too idiotic), the worst case scenario is to pay $360 phone + $35 activation fee + 60 days of service fees? And unlocked AT&T phone can also be used on Verizon network? Thank you.
What is the best verizon # to call, just their base CS number and ask them if they see an account tied to my SS/IMEI?

How did you order 2 phones at the same time? Two separate orders with two separate emails/accounts?

You forgot about taxes and you are mostly there.
Some other things you could consider, the phone would work for Att based mvno like Redpocket, cricket etc without unlocking so you don't need to pay $60*2 months to Att while you wait for unlock. Instead of paying $120+ taxes to Att, pay $20 pm to those prepaid Mvno and use their services.
There is chase cashback too, see if it works. Expires tomorrow.
Inserted the sim card but no number associated with it. I didn't receive any email from ATT. Called them and they said I don't have any lines with them.
Did I get lucky? And is this phone perpetually locked to ATT now??

Yes you got lucky!
Find a friend with AT&T to sim swap twice or sign up with AT&T byob to sim swap so you can unlock

I don't know the correct number but yeah base CS number should be the way to go or head to a store given that you are going to create a new account anyway.

Yeah that's the worst case. Unlocked phone would work on any carrier.
