Your approach only applies to people who is going to keep Internet. I am graduating in May, the latest I will keep my Internet is 5/21 which only enough to unlock 1 phone. I figured paying extra 40 ( 2 extra month) is easier and faster to have 2 phone unlcoked. I can
1. cancel the paid line right now and only keep the free line to have 1 phone unlocked in early May, then switch to 2nd phone and pay 30 or 40 per month for 2 month ( free line becomes paid line after 5/21) to have 2nd phone unlocked
2. or keep the paid line and switch to by gig, pay extra 2 month and get both phone unlocked, then cancel mobile line and Internet when I graduate.
But also i see on the same email """ You'll receive your Trade-In Credit. If you financed your new device, your credit will be applied evenly over the remaining installments of your device payment plan.* If you paid for your new device in full, the total credit for the confirmed value of your trade in, including any applicable promotions, will be applied in the next two billing cycles. If you don't receive your trade-in refund/credit within two billing cycles """
Does this mean Trade-In Credit will be over month on month and not as one time
If you choose payments you either call spectrum or pay off the entire phone balance online. If you paid in full you are good to go for the next step. Call spectrum and they will issue you a full one time credit to your credit/debit card on file.

Only difference is that you paid in full when ordering instead of paying the remaining balance whenever you are ready to get your credits.

1. Use the self-service tool online labeled "Switch devices" and plug in IMEI and it'll send a new eSIM to your new device. This does not reset the activation clock and you can unlock based on initial activation date.
2. If the above doesn't work or the system glitches, you'll need customer service help to activate the device on the line. They will do a BYOD upgrade of the line with the new device IMEI you provided and you'll receive a new order email that basically upgraded the line with a BYOD device. This will reset the activation clock.
DO NOT ever do the second method. If the first method fails, go to a store and get a physical SIM and then you can just swap the pSIM into whatever phone you want without requiring a new BYOD activation order.
As it turns out, the person in store did this accidentally on my last in store trade in and I thought, this is a better way to go as it doesn't set off fraud alerts at Spectrum or my credit card, only charges me a small amount till everything is ready to settle and you have to call either way.
