Am on a chat with TMobile right now, they themselves are confused when I showed them the DocuSign which says I need to pay the $720 diff in 24 payments apart from the $80 credit I get for S9. I am waiting for them to confirm that in spite of me signing a document that I will pay $35 per month for 24mo, TMobile will still magically send me bill credits for the $720 huh. The rep is out to confirm with possibly next tier.

Upto 800, not 800
No it's $800, well $799.99 if you are getting an S21 128GB. Please read the thread and don't post wrong info.

The $800 and $1000 S21 and S21+ models are overpriced even at $800. They are basically rebranding a S20 FE and charging more.

I am not understanding something. I want to trade in the note 9. I get the initial $130 but what is the final trading value? It can't be $800 for all phones. Does that mean note20, note 10 and note 9 get $800 in trade in value?

Quote from DealHuggerhere :
It's not that no one reads, I read that point 3 too. But do you think they should at least mention that again once your run the trade in? There is never a mention again about it. The final confirmation just says, you will get $80, (for S9) that's it. Why don't they show, $80 and the rest $720 in bill credits over 24mo on the final step of the process before your press the submit button?
Yes, no one reads and that's annoying. But, your point is quite valid. Obviously, T-Mobile is not displaying this correctly during the order process or there wouldn't be so much confusion. It's costing them business. How many of the "I'm only getting $90 for my S9..FAIL!" posters never ultimately wind up figuring it out and pass on the deal?

Seen how it doesn't come with a charger, it's safe to assume that the S21 chargers by tapping into the planet's magnetic field, right?

Got my s9 for 190, trading in for the 21

Selling my old phone on ebay. Break even for a new flag ship!
You realize your s9 is better in almost every way....only real gain is 5G. I almost jumped for the deal then looked at specs and reviews.

Yes S9/N9 and newer get the $800 TIV. Yes, so if it says $130. . .that's $130 credit on your next bill, and $670 in bill credits spread out over the next 24 months. Might take two months to start seeing credits but they make up for that 2 month lag in the end

Quote from SlickAF :
Couple of quick questions. Will I get the Samsung pre-order tag and 100$ credit if ordered through tmobile with trade in? is this different from the $200 credit that some mentioned here that tmobile is giving?

Does anyone know if Costco will have a similar trade in tmobile deal?
It doesn't look likely. Costco posted the BOGO deal with add a line and no trade in so it seems as if that will be the deal they are going with. Maybe they'll yet post a trade-in deal, but I'd think they'd have posted the deals together if they were going to do a trade-in deal.

* Good, I prefer plastic. Can't shatter, more grip. And that's only case-less!
* Yes this sucks, but upgrade memory is only $50.
* Who doesn't have wireless headphones now
* Wow, I didn't know this. Why would they remove? Anyway everywhere is NFC enabled these days but it was an awesome feature.
* You don't have any lying around?
* You don't have any lying around?
* Most people don't use 2k screens anyway. Note 20 ultra uses 1080p with 120hz, and even if you use 2k 95% of people can't tell the difference.
* I actually prefer curved but most people don't.
With headphones, charger and sd support, it's not about having them around, but them trying to make it normal to not have them included(samsung loves bashing iPhone, to later follow and do the same thing). All together are around 150 bucks that you would have to cough up to have.

These phones should support super fast charges, which cables and adapters you have lying around most likely do not do. The charger and adapter should be around 30 bucks.

Without too much detail, last time they excluded headphones that were meant to be included, people got an average of 70 credit.

50 bucks for 128 gb just doesn't look good. Now you either pay it, or stay with lower storage. 20 bucks for 128gb sd is normal enough, but not an option here.

Plus not on the quoted list, you get less ram, from 12gb on the s20 to 8gb here. Not much of a problem unless you like having multiple apps open without them resetting on you. Plus system apps already take up 1/3 of the ram, so you have less available.

Quote from warmachinev3 :
Tried to complete the trade in deal on the app and website but given a no go. Says I have to upgrade my account in order to proceed. The only thing ill be upgrading is away from T-Mobile after a decade of loyalty. All these new deals are BS for grandfathered plans. Heck Costco gives better deals for grandfathered plans. If they continue to force grandfathered plans to buy a Costco membership in order to get any deals then they can go F themselves. This is obviously a marketing scam they have going on. New and existing customers on their new plans get all the benefits while they slowly try to get everyone off their grandfathered plans by excluding them from every promotion or buying a Costco membership and praying there is a decent deal. Seriously bring back the old CEO cause this new one is TRASH!!!!
At what point did you see no-go. I am trying it online and it shows $325 for my N10+. Where am I supposed to see the $800 trade-in?

Update after 40mins on chat with TMobile :
They are still not sure about the DocuSign details, they are still investigating/asking around

Anyone know if a cracked back glass would still get the full trade in value?
Would you pay full price for a phone with a cracked back glass?

Didn't think so. You just answered the question for yourself.
