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.

I have a magenta max plan but do not see 800$ for trade in. Am I missing something?

I'm on SWAC and did this back in March/April (before mother's day promo)... Wonder if I can double dip here and get another S21 by trading in my current daily driver, which happens to qualify for the full 800 trade in 🧐

Has anyone else done this?
Do you have to shift to T-Mobile after using the deal?
T-Mobile is atrocious in my area and I would prefer to remain on Sprint

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.
Thanks I was wondering if it worked with amplified one plan. I only see the $500 credit online. May have to chat.

$800 for the pixel 3 is fantastic. Pick one up for $160 from b&h for trade and you've got yourself an s21!

As long as you can float the $960 across 2 years that seems like an amazing deal.

Either this or find a cheap and good condition used pixel 3a or s8 close to $100 in the used market and do the trade-in for t-mobile to get the S21. Nothing much to loose even if you pay off early as the credits transfer to the account instead of the line itself.

I was in the store a couple of days ago and they offered me this deal for an A32 5G. But it looks to me like a pretty low-end (for Samsung) phone... take a look at screen resolution, for example.

Anyway, they offered me the full trade-in value for my fully functional phone that is not on that list (same thing online). The deal breaker for me is they wanted to take my phone the same day - there was no trial period and I had to trust that someone who works in a T-Mobile store had actually copied everything off of my old phone.

If you're going to do this, make sure you do it online because they give you some time before you have to send in your trade-in phone. And I think it is actually cheaper in terms of fees even though you have to pay shipping.

That said, once I got home and looked at the specs for the A32 phone I was not impressed. But maybe I'm wrong - please enlighten me. My Moto G7 is unlocked and I figure I could get something for it on eBay when I'm ready. I went in there to see a Moto One 5G Ace that I can get for $11 per month (not trade-in eligible) and I'm actually leaning toward that instead of the "free" low-end Samsung phone.

BTW I asked specifically whether 5G was covered in my current plan, was told no, and she attempted to up-sell me into a more expensive plan. When I got home I logged into my account where I found that my Magenta 55+ plan already covers 5G! So my advice would be don't do this deal in-store.

Incentivizing vaccines and 5g phones, hmmm......
Be wary of government incentives... this one is private-sector, it's a completely different thing.

Confirmed with the rep that this will NOT work for regular Magenta, and only Magenta Max plans.

Thank you for your detailed update!!! I have the pixel 3 and the one plus promo line.
Becareful... really doubt One plan with Promo for the "Plus" will qualify for the full $800. Promo will show on account but when bill comes most likely will be for $500

Nope. My phone still says Sprint when I go look in my system settings.
