Mine is an s23 ultra also. I paid cash for mine in July and it is still locked  and I can't get a straight answer on that either.. I think if you pay cash for the phone outright it should have been unlocked to start with.

probably help iif you posted in an area more dedicated to unlocking devices and not so much in a thread talking about hotspot usage.

but seeing as how you brought it up..no..if you bought a phone from TMO there are requirements that must be met in order to unlock it..which are listed in here..

if they are not met it wont be unlocked until then.
