This worked to get an "unsupported" Android phone to work with this deal!

For this to work, your phone must:
- Work on the Verizon 4G/5G network with other carriers
- Have a physical SIM card slot (will not work for eSIM)
- Be unlocked so you can port it to other carriers
- Fail Spectrum's IMEI check (not really required, but no reason to do this if it passes the IMEI check)

It worked for my Tracfone/Samsung Galaxy a54.

Instructions:
1) Go to https://www.imei.info/google-imei-generator/
2) Generate an IMEI for a Google Pixel 6 Pro.
3) Sign up for the deal using that IMEI. They will ship a physical sim card for free.
4) Activate your phone using that card.

It's as easy as that. It worked. If it doesn't work for you, just cancel. No loss.

Great deal for me - I'm on a grandfathered $25/month internet plan, so for $25/mo, I'm getting high speed internet AND phone service!

When I've called in to Spectrum for the retentions dept to try and get a better deal on my home internet, they offered to include this as part of the deal. Last summer I was paying $85 for home internet (after 10 years of it going up every year). I called them and told them I was going to switch to T-Mobile Home and they offered to give me the new user price ($55) and upgrade me to the higher tier plan, and also throw in 1 free year of Spectrum Mobile. I ended up giving it to my 12 year old. Then this summer, called again and they renewed my lower price and gave me another free year. Only catch was it had to be a new phone number and they couldn't port the old number. But the service is good in LA area.

this is what I am worried about. I have heard their service is shit. even though Verizon they get deprioritized, slowed, etc...there is no free lunch. Verizon, ATT, T-Mobile are not selling same quality of service to resellers for a lower price.

I just got Spectrum mobile today and am stunned at the horrid speeds

15 mbps down and 1.5 mbps up on 5g in major urban area?!

I had Tello before this and it was very fast even just on LTE

I'm hoping I've been throttled in some way and Spectrum needs to give me full internet access. Or something

Otherwise, this is a no go. Back to Tello I go

Google Voice is super convenient. The GV number is always with you, no matter where you go. No worry about SIM or esim card.
I found some placed won't accept my gv number because it it shows up as a virtual operator number. Very frustrating.

This "Spectrum mobile free line of service for a year with your paid spectrum internet" offer is not a new offer, at least for me it isn't and iirc this offer may go back 3 or more years, they are just strange in the way they promote it. I have been seeing more commercials on TV about it just in the last week but I had never seen a tv commercial about it before recently.

Going back at least a year or longer every month spectrum would email me this "get your free line of mobile service for a year" deal.

They would also offer the "free year of mobile" to me from time to time when I would call in to negotiate a lower rate for the internet/cable service I have had with them for years as a tactic to convince me to keep internet/cable service with them at the higher rate they were raising it to for the following 12 months.

I just find Spectrum to be a shady AF company as they raise rates whenever they please, this is for internet/cable bundle I've had for many years and lately this year alone they quote you a rate and then you get the bill and it is higher than what they "confirmed" with you and then I'm back on the phone again with them reading back what the last rep "confirmed" with me and then they proceed to start throwing all kinds of credits back to you only to once again raise the rates in the next bill negating any credit you thought offset the previous indiscretion.

But I'm getting tired of this dance and are getting ready to pull the plug once and for all.

Apologies for the rant - just putting my two cents in for what has been a 7 year express elevator to hell with Spectrum.

Welcome to the United States of Monopolies 🙂
I think on a different special, Spectrum is now offering an all in price (including taxes and junk fees) and fixed price for 3 years. Probably similar to Spectrum Mobile where it is $30/month and nothing more.

You're kidding me

I'd think this holds weight...

"G Network. Typical download speeds will range from 34-702 Mbps, with peak speeds of nearly 2 Gbps in select locations, and upload speeds for 5G range from 6-75 Mbps with peak upload speeds over 100 Mbps.

ii. 4G LTE Network. Typical download speeds of 9-69 Mbps and upload speeds of 1-13 Mbps."

I went to the Spectrum store and switched.

No need to buy new phone. You can use your own device and switch to Spectrum's plan. Activation can either be done immediately or within 30 days.

Verizon is the service provider for them. 30GB for Unlimited with 5GB Hotspot. They said speed should be around 800mbps from Verizon.

By the way, $0 activation fee and $0 other taxes as well.

How long do they require to activate the line once you receive the SIM kit? I still have a service with Mint SIM for 3 more months.

Finally got fiber in my area and couldn't wait to dump these guys. Jacking my internet from $30 to $85 over a few years. Had to call every 6 months and argue with someone. Of course when I told them we got fiber and I no longer needed them, they wanted to negotiate into an incredibly affordable rate for 12 months. Screw em.
