That is a question loaded with variables. Anyways I will give my data points as a reference. For me here, 5G is a couple miles away on TMO and not that great. However, on my newer devices with the Standalone 5G Sim Card (VS say another same phone that i just popped in old SIM in instead). . .the phones with SA sims get 100-150mbps, where as the non SA sim phones gets 60-100 normally, all other things equal.

Another quirk is the 5G home internet Gateway I recently got. It seems to be non SA 5G, further evidenced by the primary signal always being set at 4G no matter how you twerk the online settings (other than shutting of 4G altogether, which shuts down communication in the end). And keep in mind I never get better than 'Good" signal on the app (There are higher VG and Excellent ratings). . .but when I am at "Good" it pulls from B2 4G or B66 4G. . .and Gives me 50-100Mbps hardwired. . .and when I twist the gateway slightly to where it gives me "Weak" signal. . .it seems to pull off the N71 5G tower and my speeds jump up to 100-200mbps hardwired. For reference, my 4G towers are just under a mile away due east, and the n71 5G tower is roughly 2 miles away and to the NE, so it's not that hard to try and exclude one or the other. . .

If you're planning on sticking with T-Mobile for the next 2 years, this is a great deal. They're giving $800 for Pixel 3s and S8s!

No, the phone can't have any cracks on the screen and must be functional.

Doesn't need to be active on the account. For the last deal, I traded in a 5+ year old AT&T Samsung that was never on T-Mobile, password locked, and they accepted it.
How about the new phone ? Does it need to be activated on the account with the same line ? saying I have 2 lines on my account. I trade with Line A, Can I activate it on Line B instead ?

Nope. Haven't even turned it on yet and I got a text saying my credit was approved.

Phones do not have to be connected to your account unless things have changed. I bought a Pixel off Craigslist a couple of years ago for a trade in.

I definitely have no plans of moving off my account... but is there an opportunity to upgrade my account, take the offer, then downgrade back to Magenta?

Good luck!

Can you upgrade to magenga max from magenta, get this offer and then downgrade to magenta back in say about a month? Will that cause any issues?

I traded in me and my wife's S9s during the pre-order promo and honestly, the phones are lackluster. I'm assuming my wife and I got faulty devices because we can't keep a call with one another without one of us losing audio a few seconds in, resulting in multiple callbacks.

With that said, if you want to take the chance and definitely have an old phone that can get full trade value, go for it

Hm...I have a A32 5G free phone promo currently on my account.

I just pay that off and get this and it'll move to the account level as a credit?

Military plans never seem to be part of these deals
I was just wondering this; is military one considered non premium then? Still want to trade in my LG G8X

Is a 21 Ultra included in what we can trade in for or just the regular 21?
