Google Fi accepts career locked phones. Make sure it is reset before sending.
What they don't accept is financed and blacklisted phones.

So you need to reset your phone to remove google fi app, or uninstall the Fi app to be able to use another sim in the S23 Ultra? Otherwise you will be flagged?

You don't have to reset the phone, but I'd definitely uninstall the Fi app. It's a "nosy" app, and I suspect it "calls home" whenever your phone is online via WiFi or Data. Whichever email address...
