Then use the one free spectrum line to unlock each phone after the 60 days, one by one after moving the free line to the new IMEI/s26 phone. The 60 days start when you first activated the s26 on spectrum network. I've done this every year for past 3 years.
You just have to "explain" to the reps, who are typically clueless when trying to unlock
That's a good idea, and I've thought about it, but my problem is that the primary/free Spectrum line is being used by my wife, and any changes to her line or phone are prohibited, so I'm left to adding 2 new lines just to unlock my new iphone 17e and S26 Ultra, and having to pay close to $180 for the 3 months for those 2 new lines.
As for Metro, after getting one iphone 13 about two months ago, my attempts to place any other order fails with the dreaded "security" and "Contact" msg. So Metro is no go.
I still see the the full trade in value + $700 credit (same with both IMEI 1 and 2) when attempting to trade existing Spectrum S26 Ultra for another S26 Ultra. Fyi - my current Ultra is being used on a new BYOD line, if that matters.
This was just a test. If I had an older phone with decent trade value, I'd have traded for a S26 to test this out, but I do not, and I can't spend close to $300 cash on a S26.

they did it during the s25 days too... the trade in assurant companies requires it
now do what I did, port those $20 lines to metropcs, and get the the 16e for $99+1month plans. trade in the 16e directly to apple for $310 each in GC. =)
did it 4 times.
Apple is giving $310 in GCs per 16e. I traded in 4 of them and grabbed myself a new macbook air m5. The s26 I plan to sell 4 of them for cash like all other years when I unlocked them and keeping 1 for emulator gaming with my backbone controller. That new SOC is extremely powerful, especially for emulations.

I sold my older m2 model I had for $630 cash on offerup. so massive upgrade using 50% (discount from the 16es) and got cash back from older macbook.
