How does the $705 credit work? Does it make mine internet bill cheaper? Because they want me to pay $790 today with $705 credit once they get my old phone.
No, your internet account and mobile account are 2 separate balances. You pay $790 today and it should auth your credit card, but then charge $790 to your mobile account. They'll apply a $705 credit against that $790 once your trade-in is approved.

This deal sucks compared to the Mint Mobile one currently going on.... 3 years locked in is a joke.
The current Mint deal is nowhere near as good as this one. Not even in the same realm. There is no 3-year agreement required for this Spectrum promo.

Doesn't matter how good a deal this is if your new phone is gimped with missing bands because of a special version they are giving you. It's worthless off of spectrum in that case.

I've had no issues with connection, but I can only speak to taking these phones from Spectrum -> T-Mobile. Can always flash the appropriate firmware.

Quote from Thinboy :
Let's say someone who wasn't a current Spectrum customer went into the store, signed up for their cheapest internet service, and also took advantage of buying two S26 Ultras at the same time, and paid them off fully.
Then that person, within a few days, canceled the internet service. Would there be any issues?
Or would it be necessary to carry the internet service for the 60 days until the phones were unlocked?
what if my area does not have spectrum? what are my options then?

Are you able to elaborate on this? I'm hoping to get this deal, wait out the 60 days to unlock it from spectrum, then use it with my xfinity sim - as long as it works with the right bands. Grateful for any advice!

Went to store for the S26U, got turned down by system for some reason (adding a new line). Somehow this triggers the free line promo, so ordered online instead, tired going to the store. Oringally, ordered through mint then saw this deal then cancelled the mint mobile one. This deal is the best by far from Spectrum (aside from stack trading from previous year).

So, must be a mobile customer for 36 months? What is their cheapest plan?

Only if you're putting the phone on a payment plan. If you're paying in full then no, it's paid off immediately.

Missing bands that prevent you from receiving proper signal and reception for use on any of the big 3 carriers or their mvno partners like mint mobile when unlocked adter 60 days.
Someone here already documented this issue with prior models like the s24 and s25 if they want to elaborate more or someone else chime in who can confirm this problem.

I m not sure who it was, he posted that he placed an order with S26 for S26 coz promo was sticking but email confirmation removed $700 bonus. So, even it shows the promo might still till the end but you may not get it. Definitely, if someone could try in store, we will get a clear picture.
