You can put in random number with same digits as usual IMEI number

I'm not doing preoeder because don't know actual IMEI yet (just bought QVC ones) and the trade in people do match them up usually IIRC
Repped. So you getting 2 Samsung from Spectrum? Someone said that you can't pay it off in full. 36 months needed?

I had issues with Spectrum Samsung phones, after a struggle to unlock it. When using them on Verizon, my esim won't work. I don't think Spectrum-brand Samsung phones are compatible with Verizon. I have a Fold5 and S23 Ultra that I can't activate the esim on Verizon.Verizon blamed Spectrum, Spectrum said they unlocked everything on their end, and Samsung said there's no issue with their phones. Multiple cases over a year have gotten no resolution.
I had exactly the same problem with a Pixel 8 Pro that I got thru Spectrum. I spent way too much time trying to get it to work on several Verizon resellers

So if I have a free line with Spectrum right now (my main line is Tmo), I would do the following -

Order the S25+ with tradein, pay in full now
Trade in my S23+ for the S25+, get $920 credit back on my account
Call to get the credit put back onto my cc
Wait 2 months and then unlock
Put the phone on Tmo
Profit

Got this right?

Not bad to go from the S23+ to the S25+ for $300 net.

Yup and if you wait until release and do it in store, the credit is applied at purchase so you only pay the difference up front and don't have to deal with sending in the trade in and waiting.

There's a QVC deal posted right now that gets you 2 of the Moto G Play 23 phones for 45 bucks total

The trade in value for it on this deal is 710

Insane double dip and I'm here for it

I just tried plugging in the Moto G Play 23 for trade in value and it said "Sorry, your Motorola MOTO G PLAY 2023 is not eligible for trade-in"

Yes, two. I may get two s24 or just resell one of em

See my reply above for how you can get credit back. It won't be over 36 months if you just request it back to card as soon as it posts to your account

Also, if you just go in store to do it, there won't be a credit to post. You'll walk out having paid 799 minus trade in value shown plus fees and plan price etc

Did you get it resolved? I basically only have 1 working sim slot (physical SIM) b/c my esim won't work and still can't be fixed.

Maybe it didn't like the IMEI?

I plugged in to the Other network one and a random number and it accepts it as 710 total value

If you go in store with a clean new prepaid phone, should work

There seems to be confusion on this thread, so I will try to clear it up. This will now be my 3rd year in a row doing this upgrade deal. Upgraded a 22+ to a 23+, 23+ to 24+, and now will be doing 24+ to 25+. Nearly a free upgrade every time. This year, my S24+ is getting me a $1020 trade-in credit on a $1070 (tax included) charge for a S25+ 256GB.

If you pay for the phone in full, you will get the full credit back to the original form of payment within a few weeks (they say less than 2 months, it's never taken that long for me). The phone is then fully unlocked and yours to do with as you please (including leaving Spectrum Mobile). I've never had to call customer service to get the credit, it has always been automatic.

If you choose monthly payments to purchase the S25+, then you will get the credit back as monthly credits over 36 months.

There's no catch here if you pay for the phone in full, and you follow their trade-in procedure and send the phone back within 30 days.

You just need to chat with rep to get full refund. I got it last 2 years. You can also go to store when available and get it for free while trading your device.

Do you sign up for Spectrum Internet each time? I did this last year and left both Internet and Mobile afterwards. A bit worried about getting blocked or whatever for this deal since I just immediately leave after the minimum time to unlock.

Were allowed after the pre-order window was closed.

Yes

In fact, people traded in their s24 for s24+ using same deal. Just upgraded lines

Netted 200 or so credit for the upgrade

I think the catch here is, there's fine print that states if you cancel before the end of the plan, your credits will be forfeit. So for those who just want to pay the 2 months and cancel, there's a risk Spectrum kills the trade in credits and you're on the hook for full value.

Spectrum Internet is the only real internet available in my area, so no, I did not sign-up/leave each time. I've had spectrum internet for > 5 years and their mobile service for 3 years now (since switching to get the S22+ deal originally).
If they were going to block you I'd think they'd have to tell you up front. I've never seen any language in the fine print saying you can only take advantage of the deal so many times, etc. If you stay the minimum amount of time, you've satisfied the requirements.

The Samsung trade in programs are getting worse and worse… they aren't even giving you free ear buds and the amount has gone down… very disappointing

I disagree for two reasons. It has been 3 or 4 years since we've seen a sub-$600 price with trade-in of 2 year old phone (for ultra, respectively lower for S25/S25+). Arguments about the phone's changes year to year are subjective, I'm strictly talking new/latest phone. Yes, non-discount price has been going up with inflation and technology advancements but the trade-in values are going up which means the post-trade values are making the final price the same as post-trade price of 4+ years ago. Even if they gave crappy buds like they used to, wouldn't make it a better deal, use the $50 credit towards Buds FE (or you didn't sign up?). Everything else in this world except for hate and complaining has gone up in price. This year for Samsung is a nice breath of fresh air of price fairness in a world of price unfairness.
