Based on the information from this thread and another community, I created a guide so that more people can hopefully navigate this deal easier and so questions won't be continuously repeated.

Because this will be a living document, I created a Google Doc for ease of updates: https://docs.google.com/document/...sp=sharing

Note: I am not a T-Mobile employee and this is my first-time doing a trade-in with a Hookup code, so I am learning alongside most people here; thus, my guide may not be fully accurate. Feel free to make suggestions for corrections if you notice any mistakes or parts that lack clarity. And if you found my guide helpful, please post a response here just so I know and will continue doing these. Thank you.

I hope this helps,

Since this involves a trade-in, just want to remind folks that you can trade-in in person at a T-mobile corporate location and by doing so, avoid any surprises from mailing in your device
Starting 9/25 get a Galaxy S20 FE 5G for just $200 over 24 months via bill credits when you trade in an eligible device:

Apple: iPhone 11, XS Series, XR, X, 8 Series, iPhone 7 series
Samsung: Galaxy S10 series, Galaxy Note10 series, Galaxy S9 series, Galaxy Note9, Galaxy S8 series, Galaxy Note8, Galaxy S7 series
Google: Pixel 4/4XL, Pixel 3A/3AXL, 3/3XL
OnePlus: 8, 8 Pro, 7T Pro McLaren, 7T, 7, 7 Pro, 6, 6T
LG: V60 ThinQ, G8 ThinQ, G7 ThinQ, V50 ThinQ, V40 ThinQ

Or get one free via bill credits when you add a line.

THIS STACKS WITH THE $200 HOOKUP CODE! Remember, only one Insider Hookup code per account, whether it's the 20% or the $200. See here for details on that promo. Please do not ask for hookup codes in this post.

Please note: This WILL NOT stack with the free line. The free line ends 9/24, and this phone promo begins 9/25. There is NO WAY to get this phone for free using the free line. Please don't bother support trying to do it.

https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-pho...-s20-fe-5g

Click the magenta text at the top of the page to see the offer for $500 off. Must be logged in to see the offer. To see the "free with add a line" offer, open in incognito. Please note the $500 off page currently says "when you add a line and trade in" but the adding a line part is a typo and not necessary.

Still looking for a type 3 hookup code? Check this user's comment from Reddit. [reddit.com] There are many codes that are not used. Good luck! -- SlickdealHokage

Tofu Vic has put together a doc that outlines the details of this offer. See this message: #291

Guide: T-Mobile Trade-in for Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and Hookup code [google.com]


- Ordered a Navy Blue color on the 25th.
- Got my hookup code for $200 off today.
- Redeemed the hookup code just now successfully (https://insider.t-mobile.com).


No word of a matching promotion from Costco yet that doesn't involve bill credits. Will see if anything posts after release.

save $500 when you add a line & trade in an eligible device.

Full review from GSMArena
https://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_ga...w-2178.php

There is misinformation about RAM and processor on TMobile (865+) and Amazon (8GBRAM) website.
For anyone if matters, this link has better view of Specs on S20 FE:
https://news.samsung.com/us/samsu...-features/

For those who are still looking for hookup codes see here (good luck): https://discord.gg/7USPpxj

Get a $70 Samsung Credit (for pre-orders 9/23 to 10/1). [samsung.com]


When you can trade in your phone directly the store:
  • Regular purchases in the store AFTER the phone has officially launched
Benefits: Less scrutiny on trade ins. Note: I have heard stories of accepted in-store trade in and later denied trade in due to water damage and other issues the employee glossed over
Negatives (for this deal): No one knows when this trade-in deal expires. It could potentially end on Oct 2nd, but hopefully later. If it is still alive on Oct 2nd, get to a store ASAP to purchase it. If the store runs out of stock, youre back at square one and must mail in your trade in.
Loss of $200 hookup discount, potential loss of $70 samsung.com preorder credit.

When you HAVE to mail in trade ins:
  • Preorders in the store
  • Preorders online/phone/chat
  • Orders after launch online/phone/chat
  • Orders (after launch) in store IF that store has run out of stock.
Benefits: $200 hookup discount, $70 samsung.com credit
Negatives: longer waiting period of acceptance of trade in. Higher scrutiny of trade in

please be aware of scams. Be smart. If a random account offers a code but you have to pay them first, don't do it.

Fix overly sensitive screen...https://youtu.be/jT2YM8gz_44

S20 fe left vs s10 right

Yes, tiny text looks poorer due to the lower resolution and noticeable coming from a s8 through s20. Make sure you are happy with such a screen.

True! There's a couple different promotions that they have going on. What I have linked is the details for the one that doesn't involve adding a line.

There is also supposed to be a promotion that if you add a line or switch to T-Mobile that they will give you the entire device free. That doesn't help me as a customer with plenty of lines, so I asked T-Force to clarify the promotion because once you click that link there is no more mention of new lines. I've posted everything as given by the chat reps.

The hookup deal ends on 09/30. I don't think you can enter the code until you have the IMEI number but I might be wrong. The phone is supposedly not going to be released until Oct. 2nd.

True. The Hookup part is a slight gamble on receiving the phone before 9/30. Considering you are ordering on the 25th that may or may not be applicable.

The release in stores is October 2. Usually Samsung devices pre-ordered ship beforehand.

And even if you don't get the $200 for that, my original banner is highlighting the $199 cost after the trade in of an old device. We might be able to get it cheaper, but no guarantees.

I've edited the OP to include that point as I don't want to mislead anyone

Theoretically, if the offer is still available by the time you receive the card.
Quote from cobcob :

Unknown at this time. Since the phone doesn't actually release until 10/2, which is after hookup ends, it may not qualify. I'll update the post when I know for sure. Confirmed that it does stack.
