Firstnet customer, only option is to buy from AT&T since IMEIs are whitelisted. Goal is to have an unlocked phone to use with Firstnet and a secondary Verizon eSIM.
I cannot use any of the promos to buy a new phone since they require installment plans that block unlocking the phone.
So I purchased a new S26 Ultra and paid for it in full. Now I'm being told I need to wait 60 days to have the honor of being unlocked. Looking at the public documentation, this is their listed policy.
Is there a realistic way to get around that 60-day delay? Feels real goofy to pay for something outright and be limited.
tl;dr buy a phone outright and you can request an unlock after 60 days
