I do not recommend Spectrum Mobile. They are an MVNO on Verizon towers and when the network is congested, you have little to no connection because your priority is so low. There is also no upgrade option for a prioritized connection. I dropped them after 1 month.
I test with the following tiv samsung phones:

A14 $714
A54 $770
S23fe $880
S23+ $994
Trade in my Google Pixel 6A for $757 that I originally got from metro for $50 years ago. Makes this a true slickdeal 🫡

I'm new to spectrum and trade-in. I see lots of posts saying that locked phones are allowed for trade-in. I have an iPhone from TMO on their "on us" offer.
Technically the phone is not paid off as they provide credits over 2 years. Can I trade in that phone for any of the spectrum trade-in promos? TIA
Quote from spgrumby :
Don't believe the previous response. If you are still on a payment plan (even if that payment plan has credits that make the payment from you $0), the phone isn't paid off and would be blocked from trade in
Yeah, carrier locked phones are accepted, but the Spectrum trade in terms specifically state that the phone must be paid in full to qualify. That being said, what they do to check this who knows. An unpaid phone could lead to the IMEI being blacklisted, which is the risk to buyers and why they do not accept them. Probably better to not risk it and just pay off the phone before trading it in.

I would strongly caution against this. It's one thing to float the grey area by trading in new S24s for better models. This option is fully within their T&C even though it's a loophole they will likely close up at some point.

Returning the new phone violates the promotion's terms, voiding the trade-in discount. Even if you "got away" with it, I don't think it's wise.

I'm sure you're not the only one who has wondered this, and from one flawed human to another, steer clear! No one wants to be tied up in fraud of any sort. Glad you asked instead of trying it and finding out the hard way.
I don't think you are doing anything fraudulent by returning a new phone within the return period. The most you'd be giving up is forfeiture of the trade in promo, which is within your right to do. I'm just wondering if they are dumb enough to refund you the promo credit and let you keep that $700.

True. I could easily see the case where they have to plan for people who traded in phones but yet want to return the new phones. Some people just don't like them. You would think that they have something figured out to undo the trade-in. Maybe not. If it were me, I would be making sure they undid the trade-in as well instead of hoping that they overlook it. Just use caution is all I meant.

If you do it in store, then the promotion is applied to the order immediately. My understanding is that with online the discount gets applied once the trade in is processed, so any refund would properly reflect the $700 promotion. You could try (or even call and ask how much the refund would be) but I would expect for it to just be the post-promotion total. The one thing that I believe you get to keep is the trade in value. With regards to fraud in such a situation, the issue is not you returning the item, it would be you keeping promotional credit that was no longer due to you. As a different example, people can (and have) been charged with crime for spending funds that were accidentally deposited in their bank account. I know, not exactly the same thing, but just as a demonstration that just because a company makes a mistake does not make you clear of consequences. My guess that if you did it once then Spectrum would just ask for the funds back if they notice. If you did it repeatedly and demonstrated clear intent to defraud, then the would be more likely to blacklist and press charges. But again, I suspect it is a non-issue and that the refund will be post-promotion.

Hi Guys !

For those of you who traded in a Tracfone / ST phone, did you list carrier as Verizon or Others ?
Any issues, if we choose either in trade in value / trade in being rejected if wrong option is selected ?

So not true. If it's not paid off (still getting the 2 years worth of credits), it's not eligible for trade.

OP has a tmobile phone that's not paid off. No problems there.
People should ignore RussellJohnson, they have a long pattern in this thread providing wrong information and advice that is specifically against Spectrum TOS. One can easily find that Spectrum trade in rules say the phone must be paid off. It is actually the first requirement listed:

"To qualify for our trade-in program, your device must meet the following requirements:

It's paid in full
It's able to turn on
It has no liquid damage
It has been restored to factory settings"

So people are free to gamble, but it is outlined very clearly. Most carriers allow people to pay off their remaining balance early.

I did not say it was retail theft, reread my response. I said people are behaving as if it is retail theft with their behaviors. Spectrum doing this deal again is not the same as them endorsing the behaviors of everybody. More people exploiting it this year could absolutely kill chances of this deal again in the future. I outlined specific actions that they are taking to prevent what people are doing and many people are reporting getting banned from the activity. If you truly believed that this was not an issue and you can do this deal as many times as you want and this is what Spectrum endorses, then you would not have most of the discussion here being about how people are trying to avoid getting detected and banned and whether people are finding Spectrum employees willing to do it in the first place. The parallel to retail theft, which I specifically outlined, is that they will often hit different stores on different days to exploit a company and avoid recognition. People are behaving that way when they are trying to exploit this deal also for a reason.

I personally would just be cautious when you are trying to swindle a company out of thousands of dollars of merchandise through coupon/rebate abuse. What people have shifted the conversation to is different than the original deal. Spectrum has your name, address, DOB, and SSN. They have a record of all activity in their stores, even if you go to different stores on different days. They could easily look up in their system and compile a list of people who have done above a certain number of trade ins on their account within a certain time period. So just know what you are getting yourself into, especially when we are talking about felony levels of merchandise/money in just about every jurisdiction in the US. I am not saying this to scare people doing this deal, but you have some people here who are messing with many thousands of dollars of merchandise hitting different stores on different days to try and avoid detection.
But...doing trade-ins is not illegal. Their own system allows it. What are the felony charges going to be?

All he/she does is spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Adds zero value to SD. Don't feed the troll

That guy does not like people doing what they do, and is drawing parallelism comparing them to "retail theft" or "felony".

Nice attempt at gaslighthing. The majority of posts recently are about people talking about how they are getting banned and seeking advice and methods to try and avoid getting banned. We are no longer talking about the original deal but methods to try and abuse it. As stated, people are talking about hitting different stores on different days to try and avoid being identified by employees. This conversation is no different than that of retail thieves. It is not the comments and behavior of people who are participating in legitimate activity. You can attack me all you want if it eases your mind, but clearly actions speak louder than words. People can behave as they want, but just remember that Spectrum has all of your personal information (down to your SSN) and a detailed record of all of your transactions. If you have no concerns about what you are doing, then none of this should worry you to the point that you all feel the need to respond to me. It is not a particularly edgy statement to say that people should have increased caution particularly when they are starting to involve several thousand of dollars worth of activity/merchandise.
