It states: " How do I get my trade-in payment?
After your device is processed, you'll receive a credit for the assessed value. If you've paid for your new device in full, the trade-in credit will be refunded to your credit card within two billing cycles. Otherwise, a monthly credit will be applied to your Device Payment Plan in equal parts over the duration of the plan, starting within two billing cycles.
Additional details will be provided in your trade-in email from Assurant."
If your device is paid in full it is supposed to go back to your credit card. I have done 4 of these and on all 4 they credited my Spectrum account, however each time a very short phone call with CS resulted in the credit going to my CC.

WARNING
Make sure to turn it on and see if your phone can activate. Walmart is not properly scanning these phones and trade ins are getting denied because of anti-theft. Buy these phones in store if you can! try to activate online and if error take the whole phone box package to store and have them rescan and reissue back to you or get replacement. check to make sure IMEI of "new" device can be activated online before you leave store
if above can't fix your problem then do the following:
1. Reach out to straight talk CS and ask them to escalate with issuing ticket
2. They will tell you to do the following: Email [email protected] with name, contact number, ticket number (this is created by chat agent) and attach receipt proof and picture of IMEI (I took a picture of the card that has the IMEI and sim card number on it).
3. You should get email about 24-48 hours later that it can now be activated
4. If they ask you to activate with phone plan then buy this $15 plan and give them the PIN and other relevant information they ask for

Takes roughly 15 minutes to come in after purchase to hit email.
5. If they didn't ask to activate on tracfone then visit https://www.straighttal
6. Insert sim if not already in, turn off phone and turn back on. Make a test call. If call won't go through wait 5 minutes. You'll probably get some texts from Tracfone and calling should work. They suggest to turn off and on again if not, but I didn't need to.

Store trade-in is YMMV
- Most stores will uphold the promotion - if not, go to a different store
- Device usually needs to be in stock - some stores will ship if not in stock
- Stock is usually low and sells out fast - may need to try more than once
- Higher storage options are usually not available in stores - only online
- Tax is dependent on state - some charge MSRP, some charge discounted price
- Doing too many trade in in short amount of time might get your account flagged - only online is available then

I just flashed my s24u and s24+.
thank you
i am confused. Does that mean this S24 from spectrum, even if unlocked, will not work on GSM carrier?
I'm thinking to refresh the phones and have done some reading and study, looks like pretty straightforward to do it but can someone please tell me what's the phone driver for? From the steps and youtube videos I have watched, seems no need at all. Just need the correct version of Odin and that's pretty it.
Thanks a lot
I am a bit worried, but the one with 61days was done in store. and the tech person doesn't seem as well versed. now spectrum says they can only see my purchase date, but not activation date in their system

I'm not sure for certain but maybe spectrum is catching up and starting to force a full 60 days activation rule on each device now?
But before this person, the other had reported unlocking multiple phones on the same lines without any problems, so it's kind of confusing now.
You should have all records of each device's activated date on the spectrum app or online under your account...it's clear to see, they can't deny that if its a full 60 days from activated date
I have both and unlocked last week...haven't flashed them yet because so far working good with t-mobile Sim cards.
But today I just found out that my s24u has video calling in regular phone app but s24+ doesn't. The setting of video calling is grayed out on s24+, can't be set.
Anyone knows any solution to this?
Thanks a lot

The sim doesn't need to stay the whole 60 days.
