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.

What if they deny full value?? Can you cancel the deal??
Yes, there is a phone return period, but there is no guarantee your trade-in would be evaluated in time. You have 14 days to return and you might be charged a fee. I don't know how serious they are about that though.

My Sprint account is only showing a $500 trade in promo (Note 8). I have the unlimited plan, I'll give it a few days and see if the additional offer ever shows up.

Cliff notes & 2¢

Traded a fully paid S9, $800 credit given. Just paid tax.

On highest plan whatever that's called. Basically billed every month for the phone and given a credit for the same amount monthly from my S9 (I've never understood cell phone billing).

It's basically an easy new phone swap if you meet the requirements. Thanks to those posting.

Thanks, OP!
This deal may finally make me bump from my Note 8, especially since the case is starting to split due to battery swell. I've been waiting for a Note 20 deal with high trade-in price and no extra line. This deals ticks all the boxes. Hope this works!

Battery swell voids the promo

Just purchased a Pixel 3a Verizon from eBay for $40 with burn in. I will let everyone know what happens. I am waiting for the seller to send me the IMEI # so I can get the offer.

Screen burn in phones are excellent candidates for these offers.

Good luck!

Has anyone that participated in the Sprint /T-Mobile 1 year merger free S21 promo tried double dipping and getting another free S21 thru this current promo?

Wondering if I should try it 🧐

Fresh out of the box your S21 would lose around 20% to the OS and preinstalled applications (so let's say 25GB). If that's too tight for you consider the Ultra again as it is the only option that has a very reasonable upgrade to 256GB per T-Mobile for $50 additional.

No headphone jack, but USB-C to 3.5mm adapters can at least be had for pretty cheap (of varying quality).

You're definitely correct to worry about the residual value of your Note 8. Your phone isn't broken but if you're looking to maximize its residual value you should definitely be looking to jump ASAP.

Good luck!
Jon
Thanks, 21 Ultra 5G is out of stock, and it's showing 500 trade in value for Note 8 vs OP's advertised deal is supposed to be $800. Frown

I think I am also on One plan not One Plus plan. It is giving me S21 for $799 plus $500 trade in for Note8, but if $500 is monthly credit for 24 months right?

Didn't see an option to do it online (I'm on the amplified plan). Did it through chat and traded in two of my a71 5g phones.
Ooh this is good news. Your trade in was for $800 off right?

It does sound like you may not be on the correct premium plan. I was specifically hoping someone would chime in on whether temporary plan upgrades are a practical option. I didn't see any language indicating that the credits would be removed for plan downgrades, only disconnects.

There is one other option which is the Note 20. However, that only comes in a 128 GB model and is probably only recommendable if you want to both economize your out of pocket costs after the monthly credits and you place a high value on the stylus.

Good luck!

This is so unfair, on Mothers day my Pixel 3a tades in for $400, on Fathers day the same phone trades in for $800 for the same Samsung Galaxy 21.
Just like cars. New promos every month. It's 2 months older, and the new iPhone will be coming in September. If Q1 Samsung revenue wasn't great, I'm assuming they're going to offer heavier rebates come closer to end of Q2.

Update:

The deal is live. I managed to have the live chat order the S21 Ultra on my One Plus promo account and double check the payments and credits. My rep was able to give $800 off my Pixel 3. This was given to me via chat:

For a limited time in all markets, get a Samsung Galaxy S21 5G on us (max credit $800), or up to $800 off Galaxy S21 Plus 5G, Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, Galaxy Note 20 5G, Note 20 Ultra 5G, Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G, or Galaxy Z Flip 5G on us (via one-time trade-in credit and monthly Recurring Device Credits (RDC)) when you purchase it on Equipment installment plan with an eligible rate plan and trade in a qualifying phone. This offer will appear on the customer's bill as "2021 Samsung Trade P11".

YMMV depending on the rep and your configuration
Thank you for your detailed update!!! I have the pixel 3 and the one plus promo line.
