Can't cross trade phones without losing money

VERY Frustrated here! 20 + yrs as a customer.   At the end of our 2 year "device payment plan"  with a 55+ Loyalty Unlimited Plan 2 lines.       I have a IPhone 12 Mini and a Samsung S21 Galaxy  for 2 yrs now.  LOST money on the previous "trade-in money" deals.  ( had to fight for everything 2 yrs ago.      According to Verizon's Website, I wanted to trade BACK to a Samsung S23+ ( give up my Apple Mini as I ONLY had the APPLE due to having MFI ( made for IPhone) Hearing Aids. NOW,  my NEW HAs are compatable with a Samsung.  ( thus the reason why I wanna go back to the  Samsung)   OK, now Verizon wants to give me 220.00 for the I Phone ( which is the BEST they will give me)  towards the S23.  The WEBSITE (Verizon's website) tells me I can get the trade deal for 5.50 per month for 36 mo ( I'm copied and E Mailed the info along with showing the Agent the "deal" offered.  I'm told it's not possible and It's gonna cost me about 22.00 a month ( getting lowballed here) and this is NOT the way long term customers deserve to be treated.  I'm also being told I need to "upgrade my plan to a 5g plan" which I'm already on. thus it will cost me more $$ out of pocket.   I think we may be done with this whole fiasco. 

Has anybody else felt this way?

Hi Whitney

I've been round and round with Agents, who keep telling me the trade isn't possible ( I Phone to a Samsung) yet the Official Verizon Website tells me I can trade to another phone ( the samsung)  for 5.50 per month ( which I'm ok with) But the agents can't see that trade on their end ( even if I send them a copy and paste ) to that deal. 

I'm at a point where I want to either go to another Carrier, or get a unlocked Samsung, hold onto my Mini 12 or sell the I Phone privately.

I've also been told  It's in my best interest to stay with the Apple ( and get a new IPhone 14Plus )  for 2.,77 per month  that's IF I upgrade my current plan to a "Unlimited 5 g plan" ( I currently get 5G service in Las Vegas)  Personally I've been tol I can keep my 55+ Loyalty Unlimited plan at 50.00  per line ( I currently pay 45 perline but am skeptical of this new plan

I JUST looked at my Quote for the "NEW DEAL"  and it's at 186.xx  per month! WHY ????   I'm not getting any kind of deal.  I guess that says it all.
