So what device do you have to trade in to get one for free? They're referring to the base S21?

So if you're buying through tmobile.com you just buy the device you want on EAP, select the qualified device for trade in and it should process with the $800 trade in credit?

I currently have the 20FE on EIP getting the 2020 Samsung Trade P13 promo. Can just trade in that phone to get the 21 for free?

Getting $800 trade-in value with the Pixel is insane, no brainer on that one.

I am thinking about trading in the S20FE I got via the FP deal back in October for the S21 Ultra +$400, that seems to be the one to have but it looks like a chunky boy.

Have you actually tried it?

For me the total comes out $213 for regular T-Mobile S21 with S10 trade-in and epp discount. You cannot apply the $150, they give it as accessory credit.

Correct, $213 after trade. Cannot apply accessory credits towards the phones. Pretty easy to understand

You would need to pay off the remaining EIP on S20FE first. Just like with this, the part of S20FE deal was you would get the remaining as bill credit. They do keep giving the promo credit even when you pay it off, as long as you do not cancel a line.

Why trade it in? Not too much difference, a quick overview looks like the 21 gives you 8k. Beyond that it's just slightly better specs.

Yes, in my shopping cart but I am debating whether to go with the S21+
I am using the Samsung shopping app btw

Edit: My bad, it becomes $225 on Samsung for the S21 when I get to the preorder page. $350 for the S21+

20FE had touch screen issue from the beginning. Hopefully Samsung fixed it in 21.

Just went through with it. I have a Pixel 4, an $800 credit is absurd. I was unable to process this online, as just requesting a trade-in only offered the non-deal trade-in value (it offered $205 for my pixel 4). I called into tmobile instead.

I suspect it's because you need to order the phone and pay as a 24-month payment plan, then you get $800 credit once you receive the S21 and send your trade-in.

They automatically valued the pixel 4 as an 800 credit on the phone ?

Not really. They do not give the lump sum credit of $800. They credit it back on a monthly basis for 24-months. So let's say the trade in value for pixel 4 is $150. $800-$150=$650
$650/24=$27.08.

You will see $27.08 charge per month and then -$27.08 credit/month for 24 months
