Ok, I will keep calling them again and again. Yeah, I was checking the status in network lock status in settings as you said.
It may have something to do with your activation issues. My unlock was instantaneous while I was on mobile connection.

Quote from Ivorin :
I gather that that would probably require SIM-unlocking first, then either:
  • Insert the SIM of a different carrier and try factory reset. That might change the splash screen to be the new carrier.
  • If that doesn't work, after the phone is SIM unlocked, try first searching XDA forums or a general websearch for the direct-from-Samsung firmware. Otherwise there's an older post here that mentions some firmware for S23: https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS2...anded_s23/
I followed the reddit link [reddit.com] and flashed U1 XAA firmware on the S23 using Odin. That got rid of all the Spectrum bloat. My CSC is now ATT/ATT,CHA/CHA. Note if you are doing this to free your phone from Spectrum apps and boot screens, you risk breaking automatic OTA updates.

Yes, my first set of phones were instantly unlocked. this time they are showing as unlocked to them but not for me because of activation issue. I don't know why I didn't get order email this time(these are upgrades).
When I activated first time in store 2 days ago, all were good.

Quote from Hanzelnuts :
For people in CA, the store accepted your trade - in at the store? No need to mail in?
If store has it in stock, they take it. If they shipped to you, you ship it and don't get the credit on the spot.

Quote from sapiro :
Can anyone in CA who did this IN-STORE confirm if tax was charged for full price of the new phone for just the difference?
tax charge on full amount

No, flashing OEM firmware with Odin won't trip Knox, unless you do something weird.

My local store says the system is down for maintenance today, so I can't trade in the phone? Maybe that's why everyone can't activate their phones?
