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.
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)

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.

For the BestBuy deal, activation is required to get the $800 phone for Flip 128G, but if you activate a new line or open a new account on T-Mobile, you will get another $100 off which will bring the phone price down to $700. With a S21 trade in, you will get a $100 gift card back from BestBuy since the trade in value is higher than the phone price.
With a S21 trade in at BestBuy, the pros are the $100 back in the form of a BestBuy gift card and you don't have to worth about any adjustment on the trade in value. The con is that you have to open a T-Mobile account or add a new line then call to cancel to line.
For Google Fi, you have to pay for the phone + tax + most likely the first month of service out of pocket, then the refund from the trade in value will come later. The pros are you can get everything done without leaving home, and canceling only required a few clicks after you logged into your account. The cons are you have to worry about the adjustment in trade in value, maintain 4 months of services, and you get Google Fi credit instead of a gift card like the BestBuy deal with a S21 trade in.
Personally, my recommendation is to do the Google Fi deal if you have a S20 Ultra 5g or S21 with cracked screen. Otherwise, it is better to do the BestBuy deal.
Edit: BestBuy deal is ending today from what I have read on the other thread.

You could technically get Z Flip 4 for free even after paying the Google Fi service for 4 months (20*4)
