S23+ will get one(?) more year of updates I think. But seeing as it is a back up and you may not touch it, I would get the S22+. People poo poo on the S22+ battery life but again, its a back up. I am getting the S22+ for $200 for my work phone.

Make a call to CS. If they say no, try another agent. Alternatively, you can get a Tello SIM on Amazon for $2 and port your number out. It'll cancel your line.
Anyone else struggling to login to Verizon through the Walmart website? I click upgrade my line, type in my information, and then it tells me it failed to retrieve my account data. Very unfortunate, because I'd love to purchase the phone.
Not only did I encounter issues at various steps while trying to sign in (had to turn off ad blockers and go through incognito mode), I then got a message that said Verizon would need my phone as a trade-in, and that I had to go to a store to complete the transaction. I have one payment/credit left on my existing phone, so maybe that had something to do with it.

That's a lot of hoops to jump through. I just tried turning off ad block and using incognito to no success unfortunately. My phone has been paid off so I shouldn't run into any issues once I login, but it doesn't seem like I will be able to.

When does the 3 days period start? From order date, shipping date, delivery date, or activation date?
So...I'm unclear with the unlock discussions below. Am I stuck in an effective 3 year contract if I do this? i.e. - if I leave Verizon in a year, I'll have to repay the difference left on the $1,049 price of the phone?
If that were true they wouldn't have them. Peoppe overwhelmingly prefer to get a free phone and sign a 3 year contract because less than 2% of the population change their carrier yearly

If i recall over the history companies end up getting sued for pulling tricks like this. Probably at a very small loss vs profit. But so far samsung users don't care samsungs been baiting them with the same garbage for 5+ years. I think at&t probably already had some cases an if so it's obvious they make way more scamming people then giving everyone $4 back if someone can afford to sue em.

You do not recall correctly
There is nothing tricky or illegal about a device payment contract.
