See the steps below from https://slickdeals.net/f/17077762-at-t-128gb-samsung-galaxy-s22-ultra-5g-w-added-line-or-new-customer-activation-350-35-activation-free-w-free-s-h?p=167181442#post167181442 (you will have to change to s24 from s22 if you want to flash unlocked firmware) but rest is same.

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.

FYI for those ordering with ATT, activation fee on the bill can be waived automatically by clicking on "don't recognize this fee" on the bill on web/app even if it's more than 3 days. It's one time (every 12 months or so) favor from ATT. See wiki of this thread https://slickdeals.net/f/17327499-oneplus-nord-n30-5g-128gb-unlocked-chromatic-gray-cph2513-best-buy-0 for more details on bills afterwards.

I ordered online yesterday the ATT one to expect receiving it today. Called both the Ontrac and Walmart since there is no update on tracking. Walmart said it's not in stock so they will send once it is back in stock. Online already showed and still showing it's in stock. Now I will not be able to receive it any time soon and will miss the 1-3 days window to playoff and cancel etc. Too much hassle imo. now I am preparing to cancel the order if no update later today 😞. Credit pull loss


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 remember the Walmart Iphone deals around black friday on Verizon, you could pay off the phone while in transit via automated system. Did that recently change where they now require one month of service or payoff in store?

Sounds like ATT is the better route if you want to pay off the phone within 3 days online and get it unlocked via SIM swap.
I'm not sure if that's changed. But OP has been with Verizon and has been posting these deals for a while including the iPhone 14 deal so I guess they would've mentioned if that was a way to do that. Doesn't hurt to try though.

I bought an iPhone 14 during a Walmart sale, paid in full, and disconnected it. I'm unsure what happened, but when I ordered the phone, it treated me as a new customer and provided a new Verizon line number, contract number, and location code. I'm not sure what to do now.
It's possible that Walmart forgot to scan and activate the phone. If that's the case you have a Verizon locked phone for which you don't owe anything as the other comment mentioned. You can go to a VZW store and activate the phone with a new line (make sure to verify that you don't anything I the device) which you can cancel after coming back and wait for 60 days to unlock.

Also yeah, ATT seems to be the way to go if you want an unlocked phone.

I contacted Verizon customer service and they thoroughly checked my accountbut found no recent orders. They advised me to contact Walmart. What happens if I don't pay? I feel like I need to sort this out with Walmart. It's a real headache.

So the cheapest unlimited plan I am seeing is $55/month at Verizon and other than the ads versions of netflix/max it offers nothing more than the $25 plan at Metro PCS. After three years you are paying over $1000 more for service at Verizon just to get a reduced price phone. This doesn't even account for the extra $10 a month you have to pay to get this phone.

How do you know it's already activated? Did you get an email or something?

Do these phones ship with physical sim or esim? Anyone already received them?
I am hoping for a physical sim so the sim swap would be done much easier.

I think your transaction with Walmart is done. You can just create a new Verizon account and use it on the phone. If they don't have an account for it then you don't owe anything. Walmart does not collect the monthly payment, Verizon does.

The point of this deal is to get the phone, pay it off and cancel the account. You shouldnot be paying monthly or keep paying for the plan.

Where do you register? I don't see an option that doesn't ask for the AT&T account number or AT&T phone number.

I think it's still physical SIM (ATT/VZW unlike MVNOs are still big on physical S unless it's a recent iPhone) but someone needs to verify.

If you didn't get a VZ email that says register your account online or something to that effect when the phone shipped, then you're in the clear. Walmart tends to screw this up and ppl walk away by only paying the sales tax on the phones but the remaining balance is wiped.

Which warehouse did your phone ship from?
