@WmH1984 AT&T branded phones won't be able to join the beta. AT&T doesn't participate.

That sucks. Att has been doing some shady stuff. They don't even allow phones purchased straight from the store to fully function anymore either has to be att branded

I have no issues using Samsung unlocked devices on AT&T. Have done it for years with no issues.

I've never had that issue and have used unlocked devices directly from Samsung since the Note 10+ in 2019. Always have 2 or more devices in the household with no issues.

Yes, if you unlock the bootloader, which most likely you did to participate in the better program a t m, verizon, I ask issues because it considers the phone being root my data would work and text but I couldn't make phone calls or if my text wouldn't work.I can make phone calls but you wouldn't hear me.You could hear the person it's so annoying

So there's a weird thing with that, there's an official list of compatible phones you can find via Google. It can be a unlocked S24U but if the model doesn't match exactly ATT won't support it.

So some will but some won't, I recently learned this

Then who does participate because I read that verizon doesn't and now that AT&t doesn't either. The 2 biggest phone companies and neither participate? Then what company do all these people have???

@Jonpey If you have an unlocked device (model number ends in U1) you can participate regardless of carrier.
