activated 2 refurb xr's, 1 activated a day early, the other one I had to call to get it unlocked.
did not pay for the 2nd months on those 2
If I activate now with the ST sim, do I have to keep that sim in the phone?
Or can I swap back to using my Verizon sim with RSIM unlock and just wait until it's officially unlocked in 60 days
However, I was able to successfully unlock a pair of refurbbed Tracfone Iphone SE2's after the 60 days that were about ~$90/ea, so that's good. On both, I paid for a month of service and "won" the 2nd with rewards points, which seem easy to accumulate. When unlocking, I had to use the IMEI on the website (phone number did not work). All good - phone was unlocked seconds later on both. Still miffed about the Simple Mobile one, though. Thinking about maybe a small claims case, just because it's aggrevating.

Did you have to keep the sim in the phone the whole time?

My service runs out Jan.14th 2023 and I wanted to get this done before adding a new service plan. It was a simple process, you provide your #, name, email, and IMEI, and they immediately email you 2 unlock codes - They are like 15 digits so type them correctly, hit submit, and it takes 20-30 secs. to be processed, and the page displays a Unlock Successful notice.
