Here’s why I’m wanting to do. Just not sure if I can do it. I have spectrum now and owe nothing on my phone. I want to switch to Tmobile in a few months and they have an $800 buyout if you owe on a phone when you switch to them. So… I want to use that to get a new phone before we leave. The S26U is 1299 normally, but 300 off right now, so 999. I want to get the phone and pay it off, and get it unlocked after 60 days to take with me. Might as well since Tmobile is offering it. 

The question is though, how do I do that without losing out on the $300 off? Tmobile simply requires a bill pdf showing…””current phone's previous carrier's financing details, including - phone number, phone make&model, phone payment balance, phone financing start date (showing 90 days with prior carrier or number of payments made) and prior carrier’s name””

So seems I shouldn’t pay the phone off the day that I get it, I should buy the phone and let it go in as the 36 month installment and then pay it off, no? 

What would be the best / easiest way to do this? 

I thought I had read that unless I fully wait the 36 months out to get those incremental credits, that I’d lose out on them depending on when I pay it off fully, but maybe that was a different carrier.

New to trapping, hunted and fished my whole life just never trapped. Trying to get a rabbit with a cage trap and I’m guessing they’re not playing ball because of my scent on the cage, possibly? I put a few baby carrots and some cut up apple in there. Nothing. Been a few days and they’ve been out there right around it on cam.

I’ve read that a lot of safe companies have substituted technology for strength and weight. That the amount of steel and weight and the older ones usually is much better than the newer safe in general and that while some tech is better now, that good ole steel thickness and weight are the main determining factors given of course that the bolts and dial are on point.

There’s been an issue with my windshield since I bought my car new. Dealer is having a local place replace it. I’m in Pennsylvania. Seems pretty logical that I would want to at least 70 80° weather for them to do it for it to cure best, no? I understand that the adhesive can set in cold, but it’s not optimal, right?

Hi, I’m currently on Spectrum mobile and want to upgrade my phone and trade in my current phone. I went to a Spectrum store and the Galaxy S26 ultra at 999 marked down from 1299. My only concern is that I don’t wanna be locked in for three years just in case I want to change carriers or something. I was told by a salesman that if I pay the $999 for the phone all at once right when I get it that day so I won’t enter into the 36 month payment situation, that after 60 days the phone will be mine, unlocked, and I can change carriers or do whatever I want. Is that accurate?
