1) I went to store today and traded 2 phones and got 2 s25.
2) as I see the my spectrum mobile app. They have remaining balances.
3) so I asked rep. He said it will be gone after third party gets the trade-ins.
4) So I went home. And got back to the store after 2 hrs attempting to trade 2 S25s.
5) but the other rep said they cannot be traded in because they are financed.
What do I have to do? What was the wrong part?
1) My question is that is it possible to cancel the original order?
2) is ti possible to pay the remaining and get credit back?
3) or do i just have to wait couple of days system to settle down?
Please kindly save me. I'm totally lost.
I noticed you're amused by the idea of repeatedly purchasing Spectrum's Samsung S25 during their sale to resell for profit, thinking it's not fraudulent. However, it's important to understand that this practice can be legally questionable.
Fraud is defined as wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain. By continually upgrading a free line to obtain the latest devices and then selling them, you're engaging in deceptive behavior that deprives the company and its shareholders of value. Even if you're transparent with the sales representatives, the higher-ups have systems in place to detect such activities, which are designed to prevent exactly this kind of exploitation.
While you might not face legal consequences for a small number of transactions, scaling this operation—say, involving a group of 40 people—could attract federal attention and be considered fraudulent. It's not that people don't get in trouble for minor offenses; it's that larger, organized schemes are more likely to be prosecuted.
Just something to consider before continuing with this approach even if just the other people reading see this,

Someone who has already done the dance with the federal government over something very similar.
Help me understand how I would be guilty of any sort of fraud even if I got 40 or so people involved to go take advantage of a promotion that is advertised all for spectrum's website, violates no laws, and violates no regulation set for by spectrum. You were just talking out of your ass. You can't just say that something is "considered" fraudulent because you think it is or because you disagree with it. The law is the law.
I would venture to guess that your own situation involving fraud dealt with something very dissimilar from this. Feel free to share exactly what it is so we can compare it to this.
They knew who I was l,went and asked the manager and that's his response.
I'll go try at a different spectrum store

I might try this weekend when the manager is out and some other people are working
Edit: so my point is that if anyone is getting flagged or blocked its because you arent forking over the extra 20 dollars. Plus you all better pray that the phones dont have to have active service the whole time because my guy just said, two billing cycles or 90 days of service is needed and said there is no if ands or buts.
I forget if verizon is the same and you have to a tuslly have servicd
Most Verizon MVNOs like Tracfone only require 1 month of service to unlock in 60 days.

Planning to trade S25+ and get S25 Ultra in a week. Fingers crossed.
Let me know if anyone have done S25+ to S25 Ultra. Thanks !

There are two types of spectrum stores. Mobile - typically have new phones on display with prices. These can do trade ins on the spot.
Cable - looks like an old sad cable company store. Some can give you phones but they don't process trades on the spot.
Good luck.
