The reason is likely network upgrades. AT&T is moving full steam ahead with 5G, so many older phones like this are being dropped to make room for their limited licenses. It's likely VoLTE since AT&T charges a ransom for it on their network Xaiomi never paid AT&T; my Moto G5 suffered the same fate because they didn't pay the AT&T VoLTE extortion fee.

Look at T-Mobile or the many T-Mobile MVNOs; they don't pull stunts like the one AT&T pulled with these phones... AS often. Maybe in some cases, but I've ever seen T-Mobile or the T-Mobile MVNOs reject a phone at the rate AT&T does. If T-Mobile coverage is roadkill in your area, it's time for a new phone :(.

***I'm not going to debate whether Xiaomi and Huawei phones are CCP spy devices, even in the US; even if they are, I'm not touching that mess as it doesn't apply in your situation.*** You may need a sacrificial phone with an IMEI# that's well accepted as this is a Chinese phone and the current political situation with China; get an older but fresh Motorola or Samsung (even a Google Pixel) that works for the initial carrier activation like the Moto G7 or a similarly new model just to CYA. That may be why the rejections are so common, or it never supported VoLTE which was also a LG disease for Sprint versions of their phones. You'll know soon enough once you swap SIM cards. ***This workaround eliminates Verizon as a potential carrier as the active IMEI# has to match and they're honestly trying to compete with AT&T to see who can be as repulsive about blocking otherwise usable devices over political matters and VoLTE extortion fees.***
