Deal Details
I have been shopping for a new S22 and this is the cheapest I have seen it without new plan or trade-in deals (which after researching require me to increase my monthly bill by a lot or switch carriers). I have an old S7 that is cracked and starting to bootloop, and have been searching for the best deal on a new S22. If anyone has a better deal, please let me know. I am not interested in the ultra, though I would prefer a 256GB version.

QA Note: Price is now $550.99

Good price but wish it was sold by Amazon. Seller is 75% positive in the past 12 months

Good price but seller doesn't look particularly trustworthy :-/

Who is giving this a thumbs up? Lol. You can't list something being sold by non reputable seller called "bayshine Trading" on Amazon and call it a deal. Also, if you want to buy from anyone, may as well go to Swappa and buy this exact same phone in new / sealed condition for $479 (currently the cheapest new unlocked S22).

I think the best deal for an unlocked S22 that does not require a trade in is at Google Fi for about $400 ($299 + tax + $100 for 4 months of Fi service). Add another $3-5 for a number to port in unless you already have one. You just activate the Fi phone, then remove the Fi sim and don't touch it again. The phone is unlocked and can be used with any provider immediately. Just make sure you don't put the Fi sim in any other phone.

Good point, but it shows seller being 81% positive for me (another seller at the same price shows 75%), though that is still not 100%.​

I did not realize it was a non reputable seller when posting, and I assumed Amazon offers some return policy/protection, though perhaps that is not the case. And I did not realize you could use the Google Fi offer as you described. I will look into that. Thanks!

Np. Yes, you can return anything fulfilled by Amazon easily. But you can also do that on a lot of eBay purchases. I'm currently using a 256GB S22 that I got from Google Fi on a different carrier. I still have a month or so left of the mandatory 120 day service on Fi before I can cancel my Fi account. Forgot to mention, decrease the $100 of service I mentioned by $20 as any Fi subscriber can refer you and you get $20 off after 30 days. So the S22 will end up costing $299 + tax + about $80 in service charges for 120 days.

Do you have a recommendation for where to get a number to port in?

The easiest way is to create a dummy Google voice number (on a secondary or throw away Google account). Then pay $3 to unlock it (i.e, make it portable). That's how I got the number to port into Fi. In the past, I bought numbers to port from eBay, but the Google Voice trick is cheaper and more fool proof.

I am going to try this. Do you have a referral code from Fi? Or is there an easy way to ask for one on slickdeals without getting inundated?
