I'm Hanzelnuts, I was mentioned in the Wiki. You guys are lucky because Spectrum is excepting a lot of older phones as trade in for this promotion. A Note 4 is now worth $35 + $600. That's crazy.

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 believe we just needed to get past the automated bot. Once we got a real person in the chat and provided account PIN they unlocked it for us.
what is the account pin? Is it the same one for home cable?

It's not email. It should be straight to your phone. That's how they unlocked mine.

Quote from VikasVickey :
I traded in my iphone 8+ 64 gb for S23 in-store in Los Angeles CA and got instant trade-in credit of $646 ($600 spectrum promotion + $46 iphone valiue) and ended up paying $245(including tax on the full price of the phone) for a new line, by the gig plan. Then I came home, unlocked it and closed the line the same day.

After a couple of days, went into a diff store and bought S23+ in-store by trading in the S23 I bought above. Got $1000 instant trade-in credit, hence paid $112 (including tax on full price and new line, by the gig plan). Thinking to keep the line for this billing cycle in order not to get flagged on my account.

End of the day, I paid taxes on two phones but if you look I still got S23+ for $350(including CA taxes) by trading in iPhone 8+
Thanks for share.

To avoid any possible blacklisting or other issues, what are you all doing once you have your phone unlocked? Can/should I cancel the line in a certain time frame (i.e. cancel the line the day after or wait 60 days) since I don't want to keep the number they gave me anyway and immediately use the phone on my OG number on a different plan of my choosing?

My understanding is that you have to call to cancel; I didn't see a way to do it online.
Also, I recall reading somewhere that they don't give prorated refunds (maybe Google Fi is one of the few that do).
After you cancel, it's unclear whether your service continues until the end of the current billing cycle.
It's also unclear about when to cancel if you want to do the full 60 days. Do you have to cancel right on day 60, or could you cancel on day 45 and have the service continue until the billing cycle closes out?

You can replace your SIM in the phone with your original carrier now. As for the avoiding the blacklist, that is not public info. SDers have cancelled immediately and not been blacklisted, but it's all about your tolerance for risk. If you wait a couple of months, that should be fine, and you could see if Spectrum runs the same kind of promo for Apple iPhone launch.

In any case, don't cancel and waste a number. Port out into another promotion like the $400 Costco Tmobile thread. Plenty of other carrier promotions looking for port-ins from Spectrum. Trade it to another SDer if you don't want it.

I just sold two to decluttr for $435 each. Somehow the resale value is better on the s23 than my s23 ultra. I was only getting $666 for my 512GB 23 ultra.
Did you list it as unlocked ? or other ?

awesome, get my 2nd refund of $615 from trade in credit and that 2nd s23 has also been unlocked... I see the notification on the device right when they did it.

For others, I did all this on the phone with the same rep.
