Ok. When they asked to pay in store, it shows 97.28. (40 plan+30 act fee+27.28 tax). Didn't check the card and now after a month their payment charge is weird
Thanks for the reply. That is very odd. The activation fee should be $20 so very little of what they did makes sense. If you are an authorized user on the account, you can call and get this straightened out including changing the plan to $20 a month. Might need the 4 digit account pin. Looks like your card is now the default payment on the account so either you or you friend should change it.

just experienced the same issue because of sim switching. SIM removal pushes 60-day rule back further, unfortunatelyFrown.
I used the physical sim to switch to a different device and then returned the physical sim to the same device a week later so hopefully the 60 day count is only pushed back by the week. Only physically switched the sim. Didn't do anything on the website. Will try 60 days from activation and see if not changing it on the website made a difference.

It will be interesting when I try to unlock the phones on suspended lines. I haven't moved any sim cards. Won't know anything until around the 18th of June. First phone should be able to be unlocked on 6/15 but that has been active on the free line. Thanks for everyone posting updates.

I just chatted with them again. This time they said I have to waited 60 days since it was activated yesterday. They agreed that it was activated on March 21st, but they said that I removed it from the line. They said it needs to be active on the line for 60 days, not removed.
Is this a new rule that "SIM removal pushes 60-day rule back further".
Does it require "active for 60 consecutive days on the line" before unlock?

The 60 consecutive days rule is there from day 1; but it is a hit and miss from the system. I believe it didn't matter moving PSIM or ESIM; if you get a miss, your 60 days will reset. My 3 out of 12 phones were supposed to be unlocked; but were failed unlock from the system and they are 1 from free line and 2 from 2 new separate lines. Only 1 out of 12 phones was unlocked and it was on free line and I also moved off its PSIM from day 1. Last years I got 6 S25 series phones from free line and all were successful unlocked within 3-4 months. This year is tough.

Any experience with suspending the line? I wonder if the 60 consecutive days is going to mess that up if I reactivate it?

Two devices were activated on March 30th and should have been unlocked on May 29th. Online chat rep told me to go to a store to verify that I am the account holder. Many of us got screwed over this time.

I guess there was a promotion if you signed up for internet in the past 30 days and added a phone there was a $400 promotion. I was in the process of purchasing phones and I said I sure like the Ultra and the sales person said well my manager said if you want to purchase the Ultra then we can add a $400 credit because you just signed up for the internet. I did sign up for the internet online earlier that day and then went to store to purchase the phones. After the transaction the sales person said oh you needed to purchase the phone on payment plan to get the $400 but my boss will honor it because the transaction was done paying for phone. I went back the following day to trade in more phones and asked how they were going to do the credit--and his boss figured it out and the credit did appear on my account. It will only come off of phone bill and not off of internet but he did say if I canceled account then I would get the credit. I'm thinking once I get the phones unlocked I will ask for the credit back on credit card or by check. All phones were paid for completely at store--so ended up paying tax only. This $400 was an additional promotion--because of internet. Would this $400 extra promotion worked if just purchasing the S26 plus --I don't know but it was over and above the $400 discount on phone. Looks like I have around $127 pending for CB from a site for signing up for internet.
A special thanks for OP and others that have chimed in on this deal to help inform me.
Did the $400 credit show up as "Courtesy Credit" or "$400 Off" on your order details? Which CB did you use? Was the CB per line or per account?

Did you buy both on the same free line and swap? pSIM or eSIM? Did you swap and request unlock on the same day or wait at least a day?

I'm not sure if it's a courtesy credit or what kind of credit. It isn't showing up online but it's coming off the phone bill in installments. It's not the $400 off your order---I did them instore and the $400 came off immediately for each phone along with the $700 trade in and I walked out only paying for tax and line fee/activation for 3 out of 4 of them. Customer Chat said the credit doesn't show up online--I couldn't find out where it was online either but she said it's there.

CB site there are several and the one I used was C 1. You don't need a credit card with them to use this site and they send you offers so it can be unique to you. I have found if you go to a website and just browse an item--sometimes they will send you an offer for that item at that store. I always browse and click out of it and see if I get an email for a special offer either that day or a day later.

Both were on new lines, but I ported them out about a week later. I put my free-line SIM card into one of them, and the representative told me that doing so restarted the unlock countdown. They also gave me many ridiculous excuses to reject unlocking the other device

Did you go to store to try and get them unlocked or are you just leaving the free line card in one of them and going to wait for it to unlock?

My account has probably been flagged. Both the online and phone reps told me to verify my in in-store. I will probably head to a store this weekend. Honestly, I don't think it will make any difference. How about yours?
