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.

I got mine unlocked through the phone, the day after I paid it off online.
nope, I did it with the same phone rep to refund my trade in credit. so they refunded the $610 and I asked for the unlock right afterwards. Took 2 mins and got the unlock notification on my s23 while I was on the phone call
that's interesting, I need to try that tooo
I took the $14. plan. But I really have no use for the plan. How soon can you cancel the plan and not have any repercussions from Spectrum regarding the phones?
Anyone obtain the phone you wanted and cancel the plan soon afterwards?

Thanks.

multiple trade ins in one day no good?
If you want to use your Spectrum SIM in a different phone, that new phone's IMEI must be assigned to the Spectrum SIM. You can do this either by calling in to Spectrum, or do it online yourself using the BYOD and selecting the Keep Your Sim option. Note: Changing your device to a BYOD device will remove your Upgrade Available option from that line, so get your upgrades in before swapping devices.

Currently on AT&T, but I'd be ok dropping my line (from family plan) and using their spectrum service free for 1 year.
Good to trade in my s10+ or should I buy a cheaper phone (from FB) to trade in? I'd be willing to try the new s23 to new s23 trade in to get the $200 profit credit, or then taking the 1st s23 they give me to get a free s23+ or s23ultra for $200 extra $
(Or, start with 1 line, trade in s10+, then find cheaper phone to trade in on 2nd new line that I'd drop after paying in full and unlocking 2nd s23)
local stores open in 2 hours. Thanks if anyone replies 😆
