On day 61, call or chat to get it unlocked.
Make sure the sim or esim is in the phone for unlocking.
After unlocked, you can call or chat again to cancel the service.
you can cancel service online I think without chatting

I've called in to cancel lines every single time. I don't think chat can or will cancel the line. I haven't found any button to press online to cancel either.

Denied s25 to s25 plus trade in. Tried many stores. Anyone tried trading s25 for s25+ online ? Possibility of trade in denial?

Last year, I upgraded 2 S24 on free line and 2 phones on a paid line. After receiving credit on the paid line, I cancelled the line.
When it is time to unlock, I had it done easily for 2 phones on free line (that still open) but could not have the phones that were on cancelled paid line to be unlocked. Anyone had same experience?
Did you move the sim from the free line into the phones bought under the paid cancelled lines before trying to unlock them? The phones need to show up on your account.

Otherwise, I guess you do need to keep the lines active for 60 days to unlock.

Correct

Thanks so much for the reply! I got the S25 today and went to the same store to get the s25+ and they said I can get a trade in value of around $560 which is weird, will try another store in the evening. Is there a cool off period before upgrading to the s25+?

FWIW.. yesterday right before closing (was out anyway), entered Spectrum store. Not current customer, but have had their internet before. Asked to set that up (to wave fee, had to have tech come out next day to install), then handed over two Pixel 3xl phones that were valued at $5 each. So cost me about $255 out the door total for two S25 phones. Nothing up front for internet. I checked to make sure they had plus phones and same CS rep would be there next day. Rep said upgrade again to plus would need about 12 hours, so next morning fine. Today, upgraded the s25 phones to s25+ versions and will get whatever difference credited to mobile account. So I guess doesn't do any good to cancel paid line for a bit as will need to burn the credits and the bill is not combined with internet bill unfortunately. Still though, basically $2k in phones, no mobile bill for a bit, internet backup, etc for the cost of a couple of old phones.

As a side note, did nothing to the s25 phones other than taking them out of the box. Too small vs old phones or even regular Pixel.

You can "upgrade" on that line
I might need to wait 2 months for the first phone to unlock then?

the important question is did you move the cancelled "phone" to free line before you request unlock???

After 60 days, contact customer service via phone or chat. I find chat to be a bit easier. Request unlock on device. It should take a minute or two and then you can test it. You can deactivate the service whenever you want after the device is unlocked.
I opened 2 lines (one free and one paid) to purchase 2 S25's. I only need one line active, so I intend on cancelling the paid line and keeping the free line.
Just to get the process straightened out, is the following what I should do?
  1. Switch the free line from eSIM to pSIM
  2. Insert free line pSIM into S25 #1. (60 day countdown for S25 #1 started on purchase date). Make sure the S25 #1 IMEI still shows up under free line on Spectrum portal.
  3. Insert free line pSIM into S25 #2 a day later. (60 day countdown for S25 #2 started on S25 #2 purchase date? or does it restart as free line pSIM insertion date?). Make sure the S25 #2 IMEI shows up under free line on Spectrum portal.
  4. Reinsert free line pSIM into S25 #1 and use as normal
  5. Wait 60 days for S25 #1 unlock. Chat to unlock
  6. Wait 60 days for S25 #2 unlock on different day. Chat to unlock
Does this sound right? Let me know if there's unnecessary steps or if I can simplify this.
Should I be chatting with Spectrum at steps 2 and 3 to make sure they started the 60 day countdown or is that not needed? I'm particularly worried about S25 #2 because the countdown should have started with paid line activation date, but I am moving it to the free line so I have no idea if the system will do the 60 day countdown properly.

As has been mentioned ad nauseam, you have to keep the lines open in order to unlock the phones. They have to be on the line when the unlock code is processed

Thanks, yeah I did see it there, but my account balance still shows $0. I assume that needs to go negative with the credit before I can request it back to my credit card, or is that not right and I can do it now?
I have only requested that it go back on my card when the excess amount was due to a trade-in done online and not in the store. I don't think it should matter but that was my experience.

Plenty of people have done it online. Just go that route and don't mess with the stores.

Tried to do s25 to ultra at 2 stores. Unsuccessful. Ordered on line 2-16. Got shipping instructions today. Took to ups store. Hoping for best. Last year's s24 trade in was sketchy, but successful.

What was your experience doing the UPS route for the trade-in?

You are trading S25 in, online? Did you already get your trade in credit from the S25 base?
