They'll know that the SIM card is offline and not pinging their towers.Not sure what their criteria for checks are as Im not privy to it. Might be once a day check or once a week ...Also, why are people getting their promo voided for putting the FI SIM into another device? Sure its still "active" that way?
Offline means nothing. That's just calling for lawsuit.

And i am not taking about putting fi sim in another phone. I am just talking about removing fi sim and using another sim in the phone. Fi is in drawer.

Agree. There is no law saying I can't turn off my phone right?

Can I get tracefone or a similar prepaid sim and port it to Fi? Would that work for this deal? If not tracefone, what is a good option to get a number for cheap? Thanks

In other threads for previous S20 and S21 promotions, many confirmed that they just took out the Fi SIM and never touch it again, and everything went fine! A guy told me that he even traded the Fi phone at Best Buy before the 120-day period endedSmilie. So it is really up to each of us if we want to take the risk: taking the Fi Sim out and use the phone with our current carrier.

I asked the FI rep what happens if I turn off the phone and remove the SiM. The answer was vague.

She said removing for less than a day is fine but using the SIM on another device is reactivating the FI which may trigger losing the promotion.

Note that there is no eSiM support for S22 from MVNO's but looks like TMO/ATT/VzW seem to have the support. I wanted to get a eSiM from one of the MVNO's but could not find one that supports ESiM

If you remove the SIM would FI not register you as inactive ? Does that not trigger you as not using FI for the duration or is it you opted to be on Airplane mode.

Also removing the FI account or dropping that google account will cause reactivation of the FI - not sure if this will make the credit not applicable

Turn off the phone or remove the sim is the same. Putting the SIM to a different phone is the red flag Right there

Quote from coolchicagoguy :
By the time you finish your 4-month obligation with Fi, a new S22 will be selling at $350-400 range making you wonder why you took this deal! 😁

Edit: I hope folks are not impulsively downvoting. Look at the past deals for S20/S21 and see how prices dropped after a few months of release. I see Fi has dropped prices for group plans of 4+, which is good though it still has taxes. Unless you are interested in Fi, joining Fi just for the phone is not a good deal as the requirement is more stringent and now requires 120-days of service instead of 90-days.

I have a floater that I move around between Visible, TW, Fi, etc for cheap phone deals. So, the above is not a troll comment, but from experience. Just saying! Smilie Peace
I get what you mean, but to get a s22 brand new in the $350 to $400 range 4 months from now will require strings attached (new line, trade in, etc). It want be a flat out $400 unless it's open box/refurbished off ebay.

Ohh well, so my order is shipped all n fine, but I will have to cancel and return it now. Plan was to sign up using my number but then give phone to my partner (and both be on Fi), but looks like that's not allowed.

I've did these promos before and I normally turn the phone off and let it sit in a drawer for 3 or 4 months (not even using the service). Only turning the phone on 1 or 2 times a month for software and app updates.

I'm guessing you could take the fi sim out and use your real sim, but make sure you pop the fi sim in the phone once or twice a month to register on the fi network to meet promo requirements.

Agreed and I was calling out explicitly.

My question is - I saw posts here that said you can take the SiM out and stow away. Well in that case when you use the phone with another SIM, would FI app barf and say hey invalid and will that not flag. There must be some sort of a heart beat to check if you are using the SIM.

There you go. This answered my question. So the use case is keep the SIM offline for cost. But you can disable mobile data for that

Do I need to trade-in phone to get $299 price for S22? If I stay with Google Fi and port in number then Samsung S22 price will still be $299 or will it change to $499 as I don't have trade-in?
