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

RAM Clarification: The Verizon link for the S24 Plus shows 8GB RAM. The Ultra is 12GB RAM.

I don't think there is a S24 plus variant with 8 GB of RAM so the listing might be erroneous https://www.verizon.com/smartphon...gIDk_D_BwE

The same happened to me.
Mine's shipped from Commerce, CA.
and i don't see a way to activate it
Similar thing happened to me a year ago with an S22 deal.
I activated it by purchasing a Verizon Prepaid Plan to start the 60 day unlock. It unlocked after 60 days.

Did you connect it to wifi to see if it would download an eSIM?

Yep, I tried that there doesn't seem to be an eSIM associated with it...

Well, how do we pay the remaining amount for the device in that case?

So if you are not able to activate using eSIM and phone is missing the physical SIM it's possible/likely Verizon has not created a line for it because Walmart forgot to scan it before sending it out. In this case, you don't owe anything for the phone and you can either activate a new Verizon line in store or a Verizon based prepaid line and use it to activate the phone and then cancel the account, wait for 60 days to unlock and you got a phone without paying nothing.

But you do have to very sure Verizon have not created an account for you. You can verify that by calling them and providing your info (email/SSN) etc.

Should I just say, "I'm checking to see if there are any active lines associated with my SSN/email? Or do I say exactly what happened? ordered from Walmart, etc.

Walmart has had this issue for several years; some employees don't scan it properly.
You just got a free phone, enjoy.
If Verizon asks for payment, then pay it.
But in my experience with multiple such issues they never ask. To verify, you can call Verizon and ask them to look up any missing payment or account with your SSN, Name and Address.

You don't have to specific about Walmart, just you got that phone from a store and checking to see if there is an active line with your info.

Well i asked them if there is an account associated with my SSN and they said no.

So i guess i actually got a free phone yay😂

The thing is i also am on a friends Verizon line and i am not on contract at the moment

So, can i just pop that sim in here and would that activate this phone and start the unlock timer?

Or should i just go ahead and get a new prepaid sim to unlock this?

Update: I inserted that verizon sim - it works and on the Verizon app associated with that sim it shows that the device is 100% paid off.

I dont think verizon prepaid would work as it requires 60 days of service. 60 days post activation is verizon postpaid unlock policy - just activation and a single day active service is sufficient

All of you getting free phones making me take the plunge into the Walmart phone lottery haha. I got the ATT version so even if I receive the phone after 3 days I can still get the activation credit refunded.

I think it's activation on the Verizon network, does not matter MVNO or Verizon prepaid. As far as I know they will all have 60 days unlock policy. But for this deal one has already opened up a postpaid account unless they are not due to Walmarts negligence in which you should be able to activate it on a new Verizon/Verizon based MVNO/prepaid plan.
