Is there a way to remove the spectrum branding on startup without the phone being unlocked?

You can. Just follow this guide:

Did anyone have any luck upgrading from s25 to s25plus/ultra in Austin, TX area?

As shahaakashj suggested, I went to Brodie Ln today. Upgraded the S25 (which I got Wednesday at RoundRock) to the Ultra for $202. No questions asked. Good luck.

I waited until today to try and do the trade-in for the S25. Traded in 2 iPhone 12s from the metro deal a couple of months back. Got 2 new lines, which qualified for the $30/month for both lines and only paid the taxes with instant credit and no activation fees. Awesome deal.

Instore i upgraded 1 line s24 to 25 + about 55 with tax. Got new line i6 to s25 about 150 with tax. Tried to go s25 to ultra few days ago, was processed as return, didn't go forward. Went to different spectrum store today to get ultra, guy in front of me was being told only 1 trade in per promotion. Left. Might settle for what I got or do mail in. Last year's mail trade was stress.

Why was it stress? Did you ever try upgrading an s24 to s24 ultra via mail?

Tax treatment is the same in store or online. If you got taxed on the difference in store, then expect the same online. and vice versa.

No one knows how long blocks last. I'm about to find out this weekend. 7 days after my last blocked attempt. Looks like new line opening doesn't quite get around the in store transaction limit. How many lines you got total?

I had one free line before this promo and added 4 lines with s25s. I then upgraded one line to an s25 ultra. This is exact scenario happened to me when I did the same promo during the s23 promotion. After I got a s23 ultra via upgrade I couldn't do anything further.

What happened when yours was blocked?

Any success stories after hitting the block (customer must purchase online)?

How many days does the block last?

Just got back from the spectrum store as I had to drop off a modem replacement.
New Navy S25 128gb in hand for 153$ out the door (got 5$ for trade in for an old Moto G 2021). (CA resident you have to pay sales tax on the full amount of the phone which was 58$ of the 153$)
I never have been a spectrum mobile customer so they created a new line on the year free deal, waived activation. Made sure to say I want to pay in full, and wanted a physical sim. Rep was able to do it pretty easy with zero fuss. Full trade in / promo credit applied right away.
Do this deal in store guys!

Which store in California?

I think it's just a matter of time before a memo gets shared between all stores about not accepting S25s for trades…

7 phones later this s25 cycle....

oh no.... what will we ever do?

Spectrum knew this during s23 and ESPECIALLY during s24 cycle. They have the data and choose to continue because in the end, many users actually stay with them. The service is actually fast being on the Verizon network and they also moved folks to their Internet service and eventually cable.

yes, but you have to wait the 5-7 days for it to ship to them, 5-10 days to being check in process, and then another 3-5 days to be validated. Depending on assurants backlog so it can take 2-4 weeks easily.

That's the stress people mention, not including the phone getting lost or Assurant claims water damage.

Perhaps. I'm hearing a ton of different reports of people not being able to do it, now, though, so maybe they are clamping down. I hope not. I am hoping to get to a store tomorrow. Here's hoping they have stock.

1) If you don't need the Tracfone plan, I'll pay 5 AGC for each plan. PM me, I'll do the setup work as well.2) Spectrum Samsungs can be flashed with Odin with U1 firmware for no carrier bloatware, or to your carrier's U firmware since some carriers requires their firmware for some services like wifi calling. Odin and firmware can be downloaded for free.

Would you recommend flashing U1 firmware with Odin after the device is network unlocked (60 days)? or is it ok to flash before unlock (no issues with network unlock procedure)?
