Might not be helpful to everyone since it requires Spectrum internet, but if you happen to have that already, they're now selling the Pixel 8 for $349 (Pixel 8 Pro is still $399, but all three colors are showing as OOS) You can buy it on a 36mo installment plan if you want, but you can just pay the full $349 and own the phone outright. According to the terms of the payment plan, you only finance the $349, there are no bill credit shenanigans like with VZW/TMo/ATT. For people without a trade, it's the best price we've seen so far.

Requires activation to get the deal. Cheapest plan is $15/mo, and since Spectrum runs on VZW, the phone unlocks after 60 days.

TIV for a Pixel 7 is not great ($255 at the moment), but average sale price on Swappa right now is $300ish, so it's close to what you'd net from selling the phone yourself. Comes out to $96 for an upgrade to the newest generation.

Xfinity is Comcast. Spectrum is its own crappy company. (Charter) Both are crap lol
No, you pay $349 up front. No contract and the phone unlocks after 60 days. The Spectrum website is pretty clear about the up-front price.

According to the terms, you can do the 36mo installment plan and just pay the remaining balance if you leave Spectrum. No bill credits like the major carriers. Still seems better to just pay up front, but it is there as an option.

Is it 100+tradein value of device?

Trade in values are terrible though. I was offered $35 for a Pixel 5 and $130 for a Pixel 7. They add $100 promotional value to the above prices

But the trade in is in addition to the $350 off of the price of the phone.

Just did the pixel 8 pro, (now expired offer) which was $600 off the price with trade in.

Sent in basically new in box Samsung s23 for $325 plus the $100 additional trade in.

So $1000 + tax and fees - $600 offer - $325 trade in - $100 additional trade in offer

Ordered 11/30. Sent in trade in on 12/6. Got confirmation 12/14.

Hope this helps.

Has anyone gotten a phone unlocked through Spectrum, and if so what exactly is the process?

You have to chat or call customer service after 60 days and phone paid off. Once they unlock, your phone gets a message that device unlocked, also email too confirming the same. In one instance, they provided me unlock code, but it was unlocked automatically anyway.

Do you have to pay a third month of service If you do it as soon as the 60 days or 2 months is over?

Sorry, I can't confirm as I still have their free line of service, but thinking, you can call on 60th day, get it unlocked and cancel service at the same time. If they already charged, they should be able to reimburse.

Wait for S24 at this point, they had a good deal earlier this year.

Why get the Pixel 8 now when the Pro was available for months for $50 more…

Hi, did you get your $425 from Spectrum yet? How long does it take? Did they send you a check?

Thanks.

60 days after activation, the phone can be unlocked. My question is "after activation of the phone, I switch the sim to another phone and switch back at or before 60 days, am I still able to get the new phone unlocked?"
