Best option for you..

Get Get Google Voice numbers and port that to Google Fi.

Once you get the new phones activate them with the fi sims.

Then the fi sims can be removed and the tmobile sims put in. Keep fi sims in a drawer and cancel fi service after 4 months.

Fi phones come unlocked.

I understand you have chatted with the representative, but based on what people had reported in the past, I don't think the rep is correct. I have heard people having their promotions voided when they put the Google Fi sim into a different phone. It is up to you to decide who to trust, but I am just speaking based on what I have seen on the Google Fi deals during the past 2-3 years.

If you want to see what people had reported in the past, you can read through some of the replies on this thread: (I searched using the keyword void on that thread)

https://slickdeals.net/newsearch.php?showposts=1&threadid=14753963&q=void


You are missing the point here. Google Fi is offering lower trade in value, but their phone is also a few hundred bucks cheaper even if you added the cost for the service.

For BestBuy, S21 has a trade in value of $800 but the S22+/S22 Ultra is $800/$1000. Here, the S21 has a trade in value of $625 but the S22+/S22 Ultra is only $400/$600 + cost of service.

If you have a S21 (and not any other phone), it is still cheaper to do the Google Fi trade in vs the BestBuy trade in.

Edit: Fixed some sentences/wordings/grammars, etc.

Google Fi phones are all unlocked out of the box. You can use it on T mobile right away if you want. The only 2 requirements you need to satisfy are to activate the phone with the Google Fi sim that comes with the phone and keep the service for 4 months. You don't need to use the service if you don't want to, but just make sure you don't put the Google Fi sim in another phone because that will void the promotion.

Current Fi user only get $400 off from promotion, so that will cost you $200 more. To get the phone at the price I mentioned, you will probably have to sign up for Google Fi service on a new Google account. Though, you won't be able to keep your current number that way.
good find OP. crazy regular S21 trade in value is higher than S21 Ultra. I wonder if this can stack with their free until Dec 31,2022 promo.

no. my understanding is FI sim should be on the device for promo period.

Also since you can create esim's, you should be able to put in second carrier esim and use your phone with your number. just let the FI sim sit there for 4 months till you meet promo requirement.

Excellent opportunity to trade in an S21 as trade in values on those have been diminishing.

I got my S21 free from T-Mobile so I'm upgrading for less than $100 net... So I'll now have an excellent backup and higher trade in for the pixel 7 pro lol

Oh and I should have researched this before pulling the trigger but... My S21 trade in, I am still receiving bill credits from T-Mobile for this phone. I have never ever activated or used the phone. All I did was turn it on and sock drawer it. I got it for free from a mother's day promo last year.

Am I good to trade it in?
