$600 trade-in promotion works for Upgrades and New Lines! Spectrum Mobile is accepting ancient, broken trade-ins for their $600 credit on S23 series, S23 $599, S23+ $799, S23 ultra $999. Successfully tested with Samsung S3, LG V30, iPhone 6, Pixel 2 128GB (Og pixel not working Mad). Broken and damaged trade-ins are accepted as well (See wiki)! New lines and line upgrades work for the $600 promo. The trade-in list is huge for Samsung, seems to cover most of their S, Note, and A series including international only models.

https://www.spectrum.com/mobile/p...Name=Cream

Read the wiki! Important information from previous threads will be posted there.

Key details:
1) Spectrum internet service required for Spectrum mobile service.
2) Make sure to pay for your selected S23 series completely upfront instead of over 36 months.
3) Could take up to 2 billing cycles to get your trade-in credit if you mail in. Call Spectrum to refund your trade-in credit to your credit card once your trade-in credit is applied. Instant trades & credit in store (depends on state).
4) Broken screens and phones are okay, as long as no water damage and phone still turns on.
5) Spectrum mobile service is needed while you wait for your trade-in credit. Depending on your overall Spectrum plan, could be free to $30 per month.
6) Spectrum unlock policy is 60 days, but SDers mention the call center will unlock immediately if the phone is fully paid off.
7) If you do not have an ancient phone in good condition to trade-in, an acceptable trade-in is the Samsung A03s with a years service for $40. https://slickdeals.net/f/16627496-hsn-samsung-galaxy-a03s-6-5-hd-tracfone-bundle-with-1500-min-text-data-39-99 Good for tracfone plan harvesters to dump their unused cell phones.

S23 is $599! Trade-ins gets lump $600 credit + trade-in value, so this is a money maker! Get it now; Spectrum giveth, Spectrum can taketh. No one knows how long the $200 discount stacks with the $600 trade-in credit.
Already dead

Price it out: Before asking how much, does this phone work as trade-in, etc.. just price out the transaction in your cart. It will show everything before checkout. Here is my cart, where Spectrum offered me a BOGO free line, with new numbers (no port), and $600 promo on each trade-in. [ibb.co] You can always cancel the transaction without checking out.

Promotional Offer Details
https://www.spectrum.com/mobile
Offer Valid 02/01/2023 - 06/30/2023. Get $600 off when you trade-in and purchase a Samsung Galaxy S23 Series device, plus additional trade-in value based on the condition of your device. Restrictions apply. Spectrum Internet required. Auto-pay required. Visit spectrum.com/mobile/tradein for details.

Trade-in Criteria: As long as your trade-in is worth $1, the $600 promo will apply during the trade-in credit check.
1. Is the device free of major physical damage? No is okay. Don't push your luck here too much, don't try to trade-in 80% of a phone or something that been ran over twice by a car.
2. Does the device have a functional screen that is free of cracks and other damage? No is okay
3. Is the device free from liquid damage? Yes is mandatory
4. Does the device power on? Yes is mandatory

Trade-in IMEIs: When testing to see if your phone is accepted for trade-in, any random fingermashed IMEI can be used as long as it starts with a 3. If you want to double check, 356742465815274 is a random IMEI that works. (Not true, just had this method show my phone as rejected when it DID accept the real IMEI)

Trade-in phone: The list of accepted phones differ between carriers, so if you don't find your phone on the list, check the original or "other" carrier. Also, the link of accepted Samsung phones is huge (may be all A, S, and Note series), even some international only models are accepted.

Spectrum internet is required to purchase mobile, what the fish
I'm Hanzelnuts, I was mentioned in the Wiki. You guys are lucky because Spectrum is excepting a lot of older phones as trade in for this promotion. A Note 4 is now worth $35 + $600. That's crazy.

I did this promotion 2 months ago. Traded in my Note 9 for $27 and Iphone 8 plus for $12. Note 9 was the oldest they will take back then and so was the iPhone 8. I had a Note 4 that didn't qualify. I had to buy the IPhone 8 for $90 to do the trade in.

I went in the store and paid in full for S23 Ultra and S23. Contrary to FatGuyPoolShark, I like many people, had to send in our trade-in to Assurant. You'll be lucky if the store accept your trade in. It has to be sent in.

Anyways, I have Spectrum internet. There was a promotion of buy one unlimited line for $29.99 and you'll get one line free. For those that didn't get this promotion in their email, ASK THE REP at the store if you can get that promo. Chances are, they'll say yes.

I was able to unlock my 2 phones within one week. I called and asked if they could unlock them and the agent unlocked them while I was on the phone with her. You might want to say you're traveling and needed them unlock.

Assurance emailed me and says my phones were accepted as trade-ins. But instead of $27 for my Note 9, they only going to pay me $15 reason being it was late. It wasn't late, as they received it within the 30 days required to mail in.

I have a credit of $1227 with Spectrum right now. I'm too busy to call and ask them to credit them back to my credit card. It shouldn't be a problem though.

Feel free to ask any questions if need to.
Yeah that should be the first line of the post. Want my 15 minutes back.

Quote from fatguypoolshark :
Huh. Weird that my store did that then. This was in Allen Texas "In the village at allen". Had no issues doing the trade in in person with them and the full credit was applied immediately up front. Wonder if it's a state level thing or my local store was just more lenient...

It would have been nice had the Spectrum store accepted the trade-in. I'm in California and I was nervous about sending them in the mail because they might get lost and I'm out $1200. For some people, Assurant rejected their trade in. Read the original thread from 2 months ago if you want to find out more about it.

i just bought s23 w/30 montly plan an hour ago. still waiting on an order to be processed.
i didn't port the phone # and will get a new number instead.

my plan
* get the phone
* activate it same day
* call support next day and ask for unlock
* call tmobile and activate this phone for wife existing cell # (we have simple choice fam plan)
* send her old samsung for $635 trade in.
* wait till credit for the amount will appear on statement
* call spectrum and cancel after 2 billing cycles

question: anything you see wrong in the above?

i bought the same phone few days ago on samsung's site w/pick up at best buy. It was $799-$200(trade in)-$30(first response)=$570 + tax
planning to return this back.

i hope i won't end up w/2 phones and trade in not validated.
You have a lot riding on Spectrum CS unlocking immediately. Many have gotten their phones unlocked within the first week, but some agents may enforce the 2 months policy. It's a roulette.

There are so many ancient phones accepted, try looking for them on craigslist or fb marketplace. Just have to update spectrum on your trade-in (not sure if a new order is required, just tell them your trade-in broke so you are sending in another phone).

Also, check other's posts. If you may be able to trade-in in person at the store so that you get the credit at immediately checkout.

Finally, once your S23 is unlocked, you can slide in your wife's T-Mobile sim, no 611 call required.

If you are referring about the rejected Motos, that's what happens when you release million different models with similar names every year. People got their 2022 edition trade-ins rejected because Assurant was looking for 2021 edition. Now it seems to be fixed, the 2022 editions have been added. This is the trade-in list under "Other" carrier, different list if you choose a different carrier.

With this trade process for S23 ultra 512gb, what will be the out of pocket cost with the two months of service. Must the spectrum sim card be activated and used for two months.

How often does Spectrum allow one to upgrade the phone if I pay in full? I am waiting for the new model of Samsung flip and don't want to do this deal if it will affect my chances of getting a phone in a few months.

came out to $879 but that is with tax so yours could be more or less. Minus the trade in (I used qa note 4) so $635 leaving about$250
