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.
Port the free lines out to grab the $99 16e iphones and trade them into apple for $310 GC each. This will closed the $20 lines and not have to mess with any Spectrum agents.
Then use the one free spectrum line to unlock each phone after the 60 days, one by one after moving the free line to the new IMEI/s26 phone. The 60 days start when you first activated the s26 on spectrum network. I've done this every year for past 3 years.
You just have to "explain" to the reps, who are typically clueless when trying to unlock
That's a good idea, and I've thought about it, but my problem is that the primary/free Spectrum line is being used by my wife, and any changes to her line or phone are prohibited, so I'm left to adding 2 new lines just to unlock my new iphone 17e and S26 Ultra, and having to pay close to $180 for the 3 months for those 2 new lines.
As for Metro, after getting one iphone 13 about two months ago, my attempts to place any other order fails with the dreaded "security" and "Contact" msg. So Metro is no go.
Maybe you got lucky and they forgot to blacklist the IMEI it's a little suspicious that you didn't include that screenshot, not like we need to see another moto getting the $700 trade in bonus.
I still see the the full trade in value + $700 credit (same with both IMEI 1 and 2) when attempting to trade existing Spectrum S26 Ultra for another S26 Ultra. Fyi - my current Ultra is being used on a new BYOD line, if that matters.
This was just a test. If I had an older phone with decent trade value, I'd have traded for a S26 to test this out, but I do not, and I can't spend close to $300 cash on a S26.
they did it during the s25 days too... the trade in assurant companies requires it
now do what I did, port those $20 lines to metropcs, and get the the 16e for $99+1month plans. trade in the 16e directly to apple for $310 each in GC. =)
did it 4 times.
whats the net benefit value ? already spent 231 on s26, another 155 on 16e on metro !
I still haven't received an email update since mine was delivered to Assurant on March 23rd. They said that continue to wait until April 6th. I worried that the 14 days return window of S26 will expire tomorrow. I am not going to pay S26 for $974 without $705 off.
As posted by other members, trading s26 for S26 when upgrading an existing line, extra $700 trade in value does stick now online. I didn't place an order, I wonder if anyone tried to do so in-store. I might try myself in the store .

Apple is giving $310 in GCs per 16e. I traded in 4 of them and grabbed myself a new macbook air m5. The s26 I plan to sell 4 of them for cash like all other years when I unlocked them and keeping 1 for emulator gaming with my backbone controller. That new SOC is extremely powerful, especially for emulations.
