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

Thanks. I was able to cancel my line via online chat. It was fairly painless so I thought I was missing a step when I saw that lines were being ported out. Currently my line is disconnected and I don't have service. I can't even log into my Verizon account. Do I leave the phone on for the next 60 days and wait for it to unlock automatically?
Fingers crossed!
You need to chat with them. This is one of the reason I like to cancel with them explicitly instead of porting out so that you have the account and all chat logs. They will apply credit to the bills. My bill went back and forth for 5 days and then settled on $10 final bill after the cancellation.
Yeah, once you pay it off there is nothing stopping you to change the carrier.

No, I cancelled with them on chat. Then bill went back and forth for 5 days before finally settling on $10. I suggest you chat/call them right away
Yes, it should automatically unlock after 60 days, keep it connected to wifi. As per the Verizon account, I normally open an account right after the order with email address used in the order and then link the phone number when the phone arrives. That way, you can see the bill/pay online even after the line is cancelled. That account also goes away but after a much longer time than if you setup your account when you get the phone
Yes, they are essentially the same model. If you want to unlock instantly using SIM swap then you can go with ATT.
I thought all of that expired now. Which card has $75 back?
Citi cards have $50 back.

AT&T:
Placed order on Friday, phone was expected to arrive on Sunday, paid Sunday morning, phone arrived in the evening, activated the phone, phone was already showing in the account, made some calls nevertheless, switched to pixel (sim swap), Pixel showed in account in 5-10 minutes, tried unlocking but got error that payment status is not reflected. Tried past 12am. Unlock worked within 5 minutes. Canceled line in the morning.
While canceling, AT&T guy told me that I will need to pay for the entire billing cycle. I used word "buyers remorse" and 14 day cancelation allowed, viola!! $0 owned. Overall paid only $360 for the ATT phone.
Good luck!!
