Promotional Offer Details
https://www.spectrum.co
Offer Valid 02/01/2023 - 06/30/2023. Get $600 off when you trade-in and purchase a Samsung Galaxy S23 Series device, plus additional trade-in value based on the condition of your device. Restrictions apply. Spectrum Internet required. Auto-pay required. Visit spectrum.com/mobile/tradein for details.
Trade-in Criteria: As long as your trade-in is worth $1, the $600 promo will apply during the trade-in credit check.
1. Is the device free of major physical damage? No is okay. Don't push your luck here too much, don't try to trade-in 80% of a phone or something that been ran over twice by a car.
2. Does the device have a functional screen that is free of cracks and other damage? No is okay
3. Is the device free from liquid damage? Yes is mandatory
4. Does the device power on? Yes is mandatory
Trade-in IMEIs: When testing to see if your phone is accepted for trade-in, any random fingermashed IMEI can be used as long as it starts with a 3. If you want to double check, 356742465815274 is a random IMEI that works. (Not true, just had this method show my phone as rejected when it DID accept the real IMEI)
Trade-in phone: The list of accepted phones differ between carriers, so if you don't find your phone on the list, check the original or "other" carrier. Also, the link of accepted Samsung phones is huge (may be all A, S, and Note series), even some international only models are accepted.

I did this promotion 2 months ago. Traded in my Note 9 for $27 and Iphone 8 plus for $12. Note 9 was the oldest they will take back then and so was the iPhone 8. I had a Note 4 that didn't qualify. I had to buy the IPhone 8 for $90 to do the trade in.
I went in the store and paid in full for S23 Ultra and S23. Contrary to FatGuyPoolShark, I like many people, had to send in our trade-in to Assurant. You'll be lucky if the store accept your trade in. It has to be sent in.
Anyways, I have Spectrum internet. There was a promotion of buy one unlimited line for $29.99 and you'll get one line free. For those that didn't get this promotion in their email, ASK THE REP at the store if you can get that promo. Chances are, they'll say yes.
I was able to unlock my 2 phones within one week. I called and asked if they could unlock them and the agent unlocked them while I was on the phone with her. You might want to say you're traveling and needed them unlock.
Assurance emailed me and says my phones were accepted as trade-ins. But instead of $27 for my Note 9, they only going to pay me $15 reason being it was late. It wasn't late, as they received it within the 30 days required to mail in.
I have a credit of $1227 with Spectrum right now. I'm too busy to call and ask them to credit them back to my credit card. It shouldn't be a problem though.
Feel free to ask any questions if need to.

Swollen battery or any other uncertain issues, trade-in instore. If they accept it, deal's done.
- Phone can be activated without having to open the box, so it can be left sealed new-in-box.
- I imagine the same is true for unlocking, but I haven't yet confirmed.
- The promo terms require that the phone be activated, so that step is mandatory.
This probably also means that activation is using eSIM or that somehow a physical SIM card is already inserted.1. Do you need to open the device and activate or can it be done without opening the box?
2. Were you able to get it unlocked only after activating? Or just called the customer service and asked them to unlock directly?
3. Did you directly did the trade in in store and got the TIV applied to your purchase?
As for unlocking, from what I've read, Samsung phones, unlike iPhones, must be powered on and still have service with the locking carrier to allow a successful unlock to occur. I haven't been able to get final confirmation yet.
Update: I see that the post right above this one has confirmed: "Phone needs to be connected to the internet in order for the SIM unlock to go through."

Also, for double trade ins, what do you do with the line after youve traded it in?
confused about that.
Found an old S6 ( ATT) and they quote $625... tempting to do another.
I went to a local store and they wanted me to pay the phone through contract. I told them I'll pay full amount and when you receive the phone, credit my cc and they said the credits would go towards the spectrum account.
2 S23 out of pocket: $1723.98 + $30 phone bill. Crazy
Anyone else had this problem?
Ordered another tracfone to do this deal next week and tomorrow will try to trade in the s23 for the s23 ultra. Not really clear how this would be a problem at all. Really impressed by this deal.
After I activated my line today and then called to cancel it, the lady was not able to cancel the line immediately because it had not shown up as activated on my account. She put in a service ticket to get cancelled later.
I am unsure if I should wait a few days to trade in the s23 for a s23 ultra or just do it tomorrow and YOLO.
2. You'll get your $600 after Assurant has accepted your trade-in device. Afterwards, call Spectrum and ask them to credit that back to your credit card. Otherwise, it will be in your Spectrum account.
