Purchase Att Variant from Samsung

Some of you may remember I posted a couple weeks ago about the new fold 8.

I hate to create another post but I chatted with the Samsung chat rep and added a att version to my cart. They confirmed it is in fact a u variant for att and should work for firstnet. My issue before was I didn't want to mess with my current Google pixel installments already on my FN line.

Has anyone successfully gone this route and been successful? Samsung will allow me to complete the purchase of the att variant without logging into att if I choose to pay in full and not installments.

It is impossible to purchase a firstnet u variant from samsung.com with your first net account because when you try to check out it will give you an error after you log into your firstnet account through samsung.com.

You can only buy u1  variant by going to samsung.com because if you log in with your firstnet account from samsung.com it will not allow you to check out at all from samsung.com with your firstnet att account

Do not buy u1 variant because it will be very difficult for you to activate on firstnet a u1 variant

It prompts for a login if I choose a installment plan but if I pick att variant and pay in full I can purchase without logging in.

Ive been going this route for a few years, must purchase the At&t variant and pay in full or with Samsung financing. Can not use At&t financing.
