I just did a tradein instore and bought a s25 plus. I had to pay tax on full price of the phone though. Tradein process is pretty straightforward

If I have one line and want multiple phones, the dance would be -

- Turn in phone #1 on the line. Get it refunded/pay it off.
- Wait a day or two.
- Turn in phone #2 on the same line. Get it refunded/pay it off.
- Wait 61 days on phone 1. Swap eSIM/SIM back to that one.
- Unlock #1
- Wait 2 days or so
- Swap eSIM/SIM back to phone #2
- Unlock #2

Is this correct?

I have a free line. If I trade one phone on that free line, and another phone on a new paid line then cancel that new paid line after couple of days, can both phones be unlocked using the only free line after 61 days? Do they charge activation fee for the paid line?

Went to 2 stores they didn't had in stock...They can order online take tradein but one rep said the credit will be billed in your account .. So you dont get refund in CC if you order online it just goes in account and i have no plans to keep spectrum...Not sure if people who ordered online gets credit in Credicard or in their spectrum accounts😕
If the phone was in stock credit is applied right away! Which is pretty good deal!

I paid 20 activation fee on new line,in store, this morning. Keeping new line for 60 plus days. Don't know if your way will work.

I just walked out of the store with 3 brand new base s24s. Paid $100-ish for each after difference and tax on difference. Traded in A15s got free and an old iPhone SE.

Hopefully they enable the trade in s25 and I can update to larger s25+ or ultra with minimal cost. Like all the previous years. Rodeo is on baby!!

Do you have 3 mobile lines as well? Or just 1?

I got a Samsung Galaxy S25+ for $999, plus tax, which came to $1080. I also traded in my Pixel 9 in-store for $1040. So, in total, I paid $40. The trade-in amount is applied upfront, and they're charging the tax for the entire amount of the new phone.

What state was it? The sales tax doesn't sound right. They charged me sales tax only on the price difference I actually paid, not on S25 price ($800). I'm in TN with ~8% sales tax.
Copied from my receipt email:
New Order Subtotal $99.99
Applicable Tax Subtotal $8.32
Grand Total $108.31

Has any done the trade-in and is already using the free 1-year line? Any issues? Also, do they still charge the activation fee?

does it even need to be on spectrum after 60 days to unlock? I thought just activation is enough, and then after 60 days you can request for unlock..maybe I am wrong..

Did you activate it or directly traded in?

The Moto G Play was activated with Tracfone but I don't think it matters. They gave me a new line with a new number with Unlimited Plus $40.00/line/mo because I didn't check what plan it was - my mistake to assume the reps would behave. You can get your first line for free for a year, but only the Unlimited $30/mo. I already downgraded to Unlimited online, effective next month.

I am already a spectrum internet customer. I see the free line online but would like to just do everything in store. Can I just book an appointment, have them open the free line for me and then trade in my phone for the 25 all right there on the spot? Or do I have to sign up for mobile online first then do the trade in in store

yeah, if you don't answering a question or two, i have an appt at 4:20. I have four motos i wanna trade in. Did you have to get any extra lines or just do it all with the one free line? can you let me know what i should say exactly?

So far all the motos are activated, but i just have one free line on spectrum. Did you upgrade it or trade in?
