I uninstalled the Fi app after activating the phone, but kept my Google account logged in so I can continue to download app updates from Play Store. If you're going to sell the phone, it doesn't matter because most likely you'll reset the phone before selling.
Thank you, i was wondering if google tracks and will claw back 600 off Smilie

After activating the phone, I made a few test calls/texts then turned the phone off and put it back in the box. I haven't turned it on for over 2 months (this one is on a 120-day term) and the countdown continues each day. You MIGHT have a problem if the new owner activates the phone with Fi before your required service days are completed. An active Fi phone has its SIM paired with its IMEI.

Do you recommend waiting until the 30 days service is done before selling the phone? Also with this deal we need to open box and activate phone at least before selling correct? So it would be considered new open box at that time if we want to sell it?

So you can use the phone with any other SIM, but just don't use the Fi sim with any other phone except the S22 until the countdown is zero..is that correct?

Why do you ask questions just to state what is obvious?

You need to wait until the promo period IF the purchaser is going to activate it on Fi.

If you know they're going to use it with another carrier, you'll be fine.

If I buy a S22+ 256gb for $449.99 and trade in a S21 with TIV of $460 will I get $450 credited back to my credit card and remaining $10 to my account? Isn't it better to buy a phone that is higher priced than your trade in phone value so that all the trade in credit goes back to your credit card and not have any account credit if you will be canceling after 30 days?

Depends... From a purely financial aspect, sure. I went with the S22 because I like the smaller phone. I did 'upgrade' to 256gb.

Yes. I didnt the s22+ wasnt as cheap for existing customers when I bought but yeah, max out the TIV, I didnt realize they would not credit up to the total with tax

Also, likely you will have to pay some of the 2nd month

someone said that as an existing customer, the price increases by 100 dollars? Or is it the same price as for new customers?

Do I need to delete fi app also after taking the sim out for not messing up with my promo offer ?

Someone else posted recently that both the S22+ and Ultra are $600 off for exsisting customers too.
