Anyone has any idea what phone to use to trade in ? Looks like the Moto g 5g 2025 no longer works
Also those who done this, do you basically have to open a line with them ? I had free line from them before but already closed it last year, will they give another free line or I have to bite the bullet and pay the line for 2 months to unlock ?

Unlimited Plus Premium plan required ($50 per month per line - first line is $20 per month for the first year for new customers)

Unlimited Plus Premium includes up to a $10/month Equipment Installment Plan credit, applied over 36 months

S22+ 256gb gives $764 trade in value

Does that mean cost of phone will be $600 and we move out of the carrier and go with any other carrier?

I already have a line (free with home internet). When I say I want to pay in full, it removes additional discounts but I still have the $700 trade in amount listed at checkout. I won't do it online though, takes too long and is a pain to get the credit posted back to my credit card. Might go to the store this weekend and see if they have in stock locally and if so just get the promo and trade in discount applied then and there.

Did spectrum change to bill credits instead of early payoff?
