Just wanted to add a data point.

This worked for me today in Texas for an S26+.

I went to Walmart and bought the Moto G 2025 64gb, turned it on and got to the home screen, went to spectrum and traded it in.

Spectrum had to select "Other" for carrier and I got the $400 off plus $705 for the trade in. It seems like taxes were on the price of the phone minus the trade in value, so taxed on $395 at 8.25% taxes were $32.58.

In total I paid $27.57 to Spectrum (1100-400-705=-5 +32.58 tax)

On top of that I paid Walmart $32.35.

So all in was $59.92.

It's instant in the spectrum stores. Online it takes a few weeks.

I think this is one of the cheapest, easiest to purchase phone that qualifies for $705.

Quote from MellowTexture1127 :
I mean, it makes sense. They will have one phone sitting on a line to start up the unlock timer and wait 61 days. Then they will do the other phone and wait another 61 days. If you're wondering how they did the trade in with S26+ on the line, kind of iffy and depends on the store/staff. Some look at it poorly and will refuse if they see the S26+ or Ultra there, so a good method to help avoid that is swapping the line onto a different phone or the phone you're trading in. If you don't want to do the deal in-store, you can do it online. Just choose your phone, enter the trade-in info, and select your current active line when it asks about purchasing a line. Then you're at the mercy of potential package stealers/Assurant denying your trade-in.
i was thinking of just adding a line for $20 and doing a trade in for the s26+ and cancel after a month. would that work? that way i dont have to worry about staff asking questions.

That should work and also incentivizes the rep to actually want to make the sale. That's my plan too.

Good case, but I personally prefer slightly slimmer tpu magsafe cases that come with 2 or 3 tempered glass screen protectors, costing $3 - $5 (amazon prime). I'm using one at $4 for my new Ultra. I've used similarly priced cases+protectors for my S25+ and other phones for over a year, and they've been great and as protective as the more expensive counterparts.

Since I now have 2 additional new S26+, I'll be looking to spend at most $10 for the 2 cases with screen protectors.
Did you find anything?

I have seen this link posted by other member also, Do they accept the locked devices without activating them?

I can't speak for others but in my case I just turned it on and got to the home screen without entering any personal information or connecting to the Internet. My spectrum rep didn't have to do anything special to approve the trade in and give me the $1100 discount.

Does it start counting down the moment you add the phone to a line and still keep ticking after it's swapped? I heard people mention that in last years threads but I didn't really understand the instructions well.
Yes, it just needs activating on the line. When I got my S25, I activated it and shelved it; then put the old unlocked phone that I used every day back to the line. When S25 is ready for unlocked, I put it back to the line and requested unlocked.

FYI, I freeze my credit so there's no way for them to put mine on installment option.
What? This sounds like magic. Please explain how you did that and how they reacted. Where did the $400 credit go?

Oh god, reading slowly too im confused. So we pay for the phone in full (~990 including tax). And once you submit the trade in, you get a credit on the account? So it just deducts future payments from the credit?

Oh, wow. It's just based on purchase date? Do you have to swap the phone to the line when having them unlock it or does it not matter?
The 60 days is based on when you activate the phone. The reason he said his 3 phones based on the purchase date is because per rule, the phone is activated by rep when you buy the phone in-store.
