Does it cost anything more to do online, rather than store? Is it that people just don't want to wait, and that's why they don't do it online?

Long term, cost is the same. Short term, online you have to pay for the whole thing up front, then mail away the trade and cross your fingers it's not lost in the mail or Assurant doesn't screw it up. In store, the trade is immediately credited and you only pay the difference at point of sale. So in store is much shorter, smoother process for 1 trade, but if you do multiple, they start asking questions.

I'm hoping to get to the store Monday. I'm hoping they have new S25 phones. It would be interesting to know the percentage of stores with stock, compared to those without stock.

thats good you don't worry about the 36 months credit anymore 😁

Thanks.

They will ask questions if I try to do two phones at one time? It would just be for me and my spouse.

Just going off what the fine print said. It takes precedent over everything, and is usually the gotcha moment,

Can I go in store and do 2 phones on the free line they are giving me as promotion, or will they tell me I need to open a second line while I'm there to do the second trade in?

technical you can do as many as you want on same line. but its up to the rep willing to do it or not. but 1 phone for each line is 100% possible.

I did 1 phone on my free line and add a line for 2nd phone. no question asked.

So it would be best to get my spouse's phone, and my phone, bring it to the store, and have them port it over to those two lines, or can I do all that from home?

yes go to store with both phones. store is instant credit. at home you have to pay everything up front and wait 3 weeks to get money back. you do what's best for you.

What is the cost of trading iPhone 13 to 512 GB S25 Ultra?Trade in iPhone 13 for S25, use the $1113 for 512 GB S25 1419 = net pay is $306Is that right?

Based on Zip code the tax will be on the full price of the phone or the net. I'm in OH and I have to pay taxes on the full price of the phone.

I did my 1st trade in yesterday. I ultimately wanted the 25 ultra titanium grey. My first store had all in stock so I figured other stores would have it in stock too. Debated between trading in my s21 for just the ultra and being done with it. But seeing so many ppl optimizing it with old phone to s25 to ultra I decided maybe I should try and save some money. Traded in s21 to s25. Then went to the next store but had no stock, then I checked 3 other stores no stock. Of course only the 1st store had it, just my luck. Went back to the first store and they were sold out. At this point I figure I may have farked up and i just put myself thru more trouble than it's worth. I tried again next day, 1st store was oos. I decided to drive a little further to a store I haven't tried yet and lo and behold they had it but only in titanium black. I didn't want to risk not finding another so did the trade in to s25 to ultra right there. So for me it was 2 of 8.

I had previously traded in for an S25 in my line. Flipped esim over to my S24 and went back to the store. When they went to do the upgrade, it showed them that I was upgrading an S25 (even though active phone on line was an S24) so agent looked in to my prior orders and questioned me. Strangely they were suddenly out of S25s. So I ordered online instead (was trying to avoid mail in trade).

yes .. i also had the similar doubt they might check previous orders on the free line.. So i have decided to add new line 1 GIG plan for $20 Monthly and trade my old phone for S25.

Here's my total breakdown:

S25 price: +$799.99
Tax: +$62
Activation Fee: +$20
MotoG Play 2023 trade-in = - $710

Total out the door = $171.99 at Spectrum

MotoG Play 2023 original cost = +$23
2 x months of service = $40

Total cost for new S25: $234

Are the moto G play 2023s locked to tracfone? Does it matter if it is for the trade in?
