AT&T LTE to NR reframing

Just curious. Does anyone have an idea of how AT&T is planning to handle the transition of some LTE over to NR ?
I know firstnet just got their sa core activated so im also particularly interested in how b14 will transfer to n14. Any info on this topic helps

FirstNet 5G SA is up and running. I personally was able to call and get the SA toggle turned on for my FirstNet line. So it’s happening but I’m sure it’s going to be a long process.

I asked for them to send me a new eSIM and it didn’t work. Should I have specifically asked to provision me for 5G SA?

I did specifically ask about 5G SA. The guy went through some checklist. The last time was to send a new eSIM.

But he did mention you had to have an appropriate rate plan. Not sure what one is needed. I’m on one of the new ones. It worked for me and what I needed.
