i remember last year, people who did pre-order and mailed in their trade-in's were having issues with getting trade-in credit to show on their account, even after 2-3 months. Think i'm gonna go with trade-in at store again for this year.

Can anybody confirm that the phone will be unlocked after 61 days of active service? I noticed Verizon and Tracfone changed their unlocking policy. I want to make sure the policy won't change before I place an order?

Not sure, but definitely for new customer only. I will go back to the store later tonight or tomorrow to place the order for new internet and 4 lines. Will post result after that.
let me know. b/c my local store claim it's only $700 off, and no $200 for new customer, nor $200 for port in.

New customer port in with 2+ lines get extra $200 off for S26 standard
i believe it is only 1 line port in.
"RESIDENTIAL INTERNET PREMIER or Higher + 2 MOBILE LINES OFFER: FREE Samsung Galaxy S26 with Trade-in when you buy Internet Premier or higher and two mobile lines, port in a mobile line and sign up for a device payment plan."

Key phrase "port in A mobile line".
Not sure if the device payment plan is really necessary, as I think most people on here just pay the full device balance off.

but how do you get 6 of S25 without having to have 6 lines on the account?The promo say the $700 require adding a new line.
I did 1 at the time and I traded in 4 in-store and 2 online under 1 line only. After 4 in-store, they flagged my account and I no longer do in-store any more. I hope they reset the counter to 0 to allow me to do in-store for S26. I will try in-store again and hopefully it works. Trade in in-store is quick and no risk at all, but they put a limit on that.

I checked my trade-in last year in store. The tax was calculated after the credit was applied.

In my past 2 year experience dealing with Spectrum deals, the phone needs to be activated in Spectrum network when first received. You can then switch out the lines to any other phone during this time. After 60 days from the activation date, while the phone is now active on any spectrum plan, you can then call in to ask them to unlock the phone. They will perform the unlock and then you will get a SMS about the phone is now unlocked.
Its super easy to switch active line between phone via Spectrum online portal.

No wonder you get flagged
[IMG]https://static.slickdealscdn.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif[/IMG] - 1 line only with 6 trade-in is a bit suspicious.
I would recommend folks to activate 2-3 lines and eat the extra $20x3 months (per line) costs if intending to do multiple phones and trying to unlock them all.
But the overall unlock process is still the same, just activate one when receive, wait 60 days, switch sim/line to the phone - call in to unlock.

Is it possible to buy the phone in a tax free state? Provide a different shipping address from where I stay?

And $20 activation fees per line.

Lots to read here, but after doing my best, question still: if this lasts past release date to do it in-store, and if we don't want to use the Spectrum phone plan, then the accurate way to total up this deal is actually whatever price we end up paying after rebates/promotions, plus $60 because we are required to activate with Spectrum, then only after two months (three billings at $20) we can unlock the phone and then disconnect without penalty? For most of us gunning for the Ultra, this makes it pretty close to the $500 Best Buy pricing, then...
