I just activated a new number with Spectrum and paid for the phones in full. Called the next day, asked to have them unlocked, and now have cricket sim cards in them. Long story short, pay in full, they unlock, you get a pixel phone ready to go on any carrier.

I really wanted a Pixel 7 pro, but from the research I did, there seemed to be hit or miss, reliability/connectivity issues with the Wifi, mobile data & missed calls.
Hence the big price drops, imho. [Any other guesses?]
So a month ago, I bought a new, unlocked $600 Samsung Galaxy S22+ instead.
[So far, the main thing that bothers me about it is the less reliable/quick on-screen fingerprint reader. Face unlock wasn't much better. I'm surprised that my 4yo Redmi Note 7's behind the phone fingerprint reader was better.]
Could you please share a link for the $600 new unlocked S22?

I wonder if this is a bait & switch? I did the deal but then $500 is monthly credit for 36 months, the rep told me $500 off, not a credit. He didn't print out the receipt, found it out when I logged into my account. The full amount for the phone
Never Spectrum never no. I bought a galaxy A20 from them when they first came out. Or A22, can't remember its been years. Anyway they unlocked it after 60 days. When I left their trash service for another MVNO come to find the device was SIM Unlocked, but still carrier locked. That phone is still carrier locked to this day due to the custom Spectrum ROM installed on the phone. APN settings greyed out with literally like 10 different SIM cards popped in it. Multiple hours on the phone bitching to Spectrum Mobile representatives about the issue. Some of them were very sympathetic and were like yeah there's really nothing we can do about that sorry, we can escalate it to higher tiered support (which I did multiple times) but it just went no where. The phone was permanently carrier locked to Spectrum. I could make calls and send texts no problem, but phone hard locked APN settings to spectrum in the firmware so could not connect to mobile data with any other provider. Never was a way to flash custom ROM onto a U.S. galaxy A20, and still to this day as far as I'm aware. That being said, yeah they will SIM unlock your phone, but if they happened to have custom ROM on that Pixel 7 it may basically be carrier locked to Spectrum permanently. That's my experience. Maybe yours will be much better. I hope so! But I will never deal with Spectrum ever again. Other than internet cuz they have monopoly in my area. But yeah.
GOOD LUCK !!
