NOW I see that. I inserted a T-Mobile SIM card, at first it worked for 1 minute or so, then ATT network Lock screen popped up or maybe it's an App, blocking T-Mobile SIM from call text, I guess data too.
Yes, as soon as you connect to a network through Wi-Fi or Mobile Data the phone installs some management software hidden as "Device Unlock" app. It's some crap Trustonic software that will lock the entire phone down if it doesn't have a compatible SIM installed. It'll force open the app and not allow you to exit until an acceptable SIM is inserted.

Once the Trustonic software is installed It also disables the ability to use developer options.

If you do a fresh install, and setup the entire device offline you are able to enable developer options and usb debugging -> adb.

Tried a few different ways to disable the app from ever installing but all failed in the end.

I've been using 2024 G power and stylus and like both. They run vary stable and smooth, easily go 1-2 days without charging. No heavy streaming, no gaming of course.

Has anyone been able to try it on Cricket? I have been able to use AT&T prepaid phones on Cricket, in the past, but one post states it does not work on a different MVMO, although that one is not dirrectly owned by AT&T. <br />
<br />
I have never been able to get any the the AT&T prepaid phones to unlock, it was not an issue for me, since I have been with Cricket forever, and have no current plans to leave.
I tested this just for you. First thing I did out of the box was switched to Cricket SIM, then powered on the device. Then I used my existing Cricket-locked Moto Stylus 2023 to transfer device settings, so I don't know if this will affect your outcome.
What was interesting was when "additional apps" were being automatically added, it listed "MyAT&T" as "From Cricket Wireless" (I couldn't uncheck this).
Upon finishing setup, I'm presented with a screen "You're using an AT&T Prepaid locked device" that other commenters have mentioned. There's the back button and a Next which downloads the Device Unlock app... holding breath...
It -says- cricket at the status bar on top...but I'm not testing until everything is finished installing...
Turned off WiFi and tested an app succesfully on 5G. Was about to place a test phone call when the device notified me of a critical update (would perform regardless while sleeping). 5 minutes later, success.

TLDR: yes

Adding a data point: US Mobile with DarkStar (AT&T Network) works via eSIM on IMEI2 while the phone is still locked to AT&T Prepaid.
Kept the preinstalled (unactivated) AT&T prepaid physical SIM card in the phone occupying IMEI1.
All is working well. Calls/Text/5G Data. When first attempting the transfer with service on Warp (VZW Network) the eSIM transfer would not go through.
Requested US Mobile to change my line's network to DarkStar and it installed without a hitch.

Adding another data point that this also works for me on US Mobile (new line). Have to keep IMEI1 active though otherwise the phone fires up a screen saying the phone is locked and one has very minimal functionality (fortunately, one should be able to get back to settings and set it as active and then reboot). Don't forget to set the default voice and text to IMEI2!

Don't have a physical sim to test with but if I get one I'll try it out.

Today I visited the store again, they removed AT&T shelf completely, pushed leftover phones into messier clearance section. There I found a Samsung Galaxy A16 128GB for $23, and couple of Moto G play 2024 for $11.99.
Right time to grab near free phones.
