When you reactivated, was it using the same number? I ported mines out so curious if they would restart the 60 day count if I reactivated service.
As of this morning 05/03/2025 (60 days), https://sickw.com/ reports sim is locked.
I'll probably give it another day or two just to make sure it doesn't unlock on its own and then buy another month of service.

I'm reading mixed responses on their reddit. It seems like it'll still unlock under the old policy but people are convinced they need to buy another month. It seems like straight answers are hard to come by so I'm looking forward to your experience. my hope is day 61 (since I initially activated it pretty late in the evening) it'll automatically unlock. I have a gut feeling it'll unlock but nobody ever waits until day 61 to truly test it. Thank you for being patient and willing to give it a true test.
If I need to buy a month, I will on the one for my mom but the second one (mine) I'll go the FCC complaint route to see what happens. she's on the iPhone XS and it's on its last leg so it's a lot more important.

Got it unlocked the next day, 63rd day.
EDIT: Today May 4, 2025, I bought another service plan after talking to a support agent. Waiting to see if it unlocks soon.
EDIT2: Today May 5, 2025. They are telling me I need to wait until June 3rd for it automatically unlock.
EDIT3: Today May 5, 2025. Contacted them again. Need to wait until June 3.
Called the unlocking dept, they said they'd wipe their ass with any complaint fillings, and I would need to get the cheapest plan, at least they were pretty honest and respectful about it.
Unlocked within an hour of purchasing the $30 plan.
Will be streaming hi res videos every night on repeat, f*ck ST and TFW.
I bought two 16e during the deal and activated both on March 4th. I bought a second month with one of the devices last night and woke up to that phone unlocked. The phone without service remains locked.
I am now trying to transfer the eSIM to the second phone to unlock it without having to pay for a second plan…. First attempt says that it's not supported or some nonsense.
