To answer some of the many questions about the low trade-in value shown. I have done this sorts of trade-in with T-Mobile before, It's a 2 part deal, It doesn't show the full $800 amount, THAT'S NORMAL.

PART 1.The official trade-in value you see during the process is less than the $800 offer, because that's the trade-in value that Assurant (the phone goes to them not directly to T-Mobile,) pays for said phone. The Trade-In "agreement" is for the Assurant value amount.

PART 2. Once Assurant has received, assessed and accepted the trade-in, T-Mobile adds the difference in the form of bill credits to total the amount of the Promo.
So it shows Trade-In value $80, yes, that's what Assurant will be paying for the phone. T-Mobile will add $720 to that and spread it all out in credits for a 24 months term. A couple of days after submitting the trade-in, your account should show the promo in the EIP section. The promo name will be shown there and "Pending Trade-In".

Voila.
Awesome deal for my S9. Wonder if Costco comes up with rebate deal instead of this EIP deal. Prefer outright deal.
Reading is hard in this thread apparently. Lol.

I have an eligible older phone that's not registered to me T-Mobile. Any chance I can use it for the upgrade? If I go through the checkout the site only allow me to pick the phone tied to my account.

Thanks

I literally traded it in my s9 on Monday for the OnePlus 8T which was "free" after bill credits for next 2 years which I'm okay with, been with T-Mobile 10+ years not planning to switch anytime soon. Had I known about this deal probably would've done it for this instead. The 8t is buttery smooth and I do prefer OnePlus UI over samsung so no complaints on that end but I'm noticing call quality and cell signal is much better on samsung. Ive been having several connection issues with 8t.. I see that 8t qualifies for this offer also, wondering if you can trade in a device that is on EIP already

I also don't understand why the same questions keeps getting asked over and over. This is the way T-Mobile works. They give you the estimated trade in value and then the rest are in bill credits. you will not see these when you checkout, they show up later in your account automatically. Someone really needs to post this in big, bold letters on the 1st page so people stop getting confused.
Oh that's interesting because when I traded in my wife phone for iPhone 12 at checkout it details clearly how much credit I will get for x months. This doesn't probably why it might confuse people

I'm regretting trading the s9 for the s20 fe now! I also have the S20 Ultra but $800 for it is not the best price

Thanks for explaining it again and again but yeah without writing it's sketchy lol.

I just called a tmobile rep and they verified your info but just to be clear, even the docusign paper doesn't verify the $800 credit. It also didn't register for you when you did your deal back then? Thanks again bro hug
Very welcome! They cannot assure it unless the trade in device is evaluated. I got a measly $55 instant credit for my iPhone 7 trade in, with $745 in bill credits last year 🙂

Stickies will help clear these repeat questions.

I also have an S20FE from the recent T-Mobile EIP deal, which comes with 24 months of bill credits.

Can someone confirm that I can pay off the remaining balance, continue to receive the remaining bill credits until all 24 months are completed, trade-in the S20FE for the S21 using a different line, and receive 24 months of bill credits for the S21?

Thank you,
Tofu Vic
Yes, your bill credit is still available and converted from line level to account level. Once you pay off you can trade your S20 FE in for this. However, would not you have to spend more money vs paying nothing? Get a used S9 for 150-200 then trade?

How reliable is Tmobile trade in value price? Since they said "up to", is it reasonably safe to assume I'll get the max value if my phone has no visible damage?

Anyone pre-ordered s21 ultra phone successfully thru the T-mobile site? I went thru trade-in section, but there is no where mentioning about the 24 months credit of $800 ... so I didn't click the ORDER button.

Think I'll notice a drastic difference going from the 8gb memory s10+ to the 12gb s21 ultra? Or should i opt for the 16gb version?

For anyone who would remain a Tmobile customer anyway, this deal makes the Fi S20 deal ($400 + 90 day service ) lukewarm at best.

A $175-$200 S9 phone gets you S21. Fi will cost nearly $500 for S20.

Even though S21 is typically seen as a downgrade, S21 does have better (faster and more efficient) processor, mmWave 5G over S20.

Any thoughts?
