*** Port-in of number is NOT required. This is available for both new and existing Google Fi subscribers and works for existing Google Fi numbers/lines. I have confirmed this with Fi, and it clearly states this when checking out:
"$600 off Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra when you activate it on an existing Fi line. Plus, free storage upgrade included."
The mod who made this an FP put the wrong info in the OP ***
Google Fi users can get $600 off the new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and $500 off the S23+/S23. Plus, you get free storage upgrade ($180 value).
Works for existing or new Google Fi Users. Must maintain Google Fi account for 120 days. No trade in required, but Google Fi is giving up to $500 for trade-ins (although the trade-in values seem to be pretty bad).
So:
"$600 off Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra when you activate it on an existing Fi line. Plus, free storage upgrade included."

For those thinking about buying a phone number on Ebay to port in...approximately 13.99....Some of those numbers are valid for only xx days. Here's how to deal with that...Fi allows you to change the port-in number/info up to the moment you're about to activate the S23. So, put in any valid phone number and its info at ordering. When you receive the "Order Shipped" email from Fi, order a phone number on Ebay. The phone shipment takes about 2-days to arrive. When you have the phone, log into your Fi account and change the port-in number and info to the number bought on Ebay, then download the Fi app to the S23, and run it to activate the S23. [added by hpham_53 on 2/12/2023]
For those who need a valid cell number to port to take advantage of this deal...
I ordered the $5 per month plan on hello mobile website. It includes talk text and 500 MB data. Free sim and taxes included. The account number for porting is given to you in an email and you can see it as well by logging into your account online, no need to use their app. The porting pin is the last four digits of your phone number, I confirmed that with customer service. The new cell number which they provide will show up in your account I believe once you get an email that the sim has shipped. Hope this helps some here who need a valid phone number to port and do not want to take any risk with GV numbers as things may have changed this year.
And bonus, the $5 hello mobile plan second month is free. No coupon code or referral required. This comes in handy just in case the delivery date keeps getting pushed back by Google Fi.
Hello mobile does have a port protection lock on your account I recently found out. You can either call their customer service and ask them to remove it, or through chat on their website. This can be done in advance to avoid any headaches. If you forget to do this step ahead of time and your port into Google fi fails, you can contact customer service after the fact and then resubmit the port to Google fi.

THIS IS NOT TRUE! IT DOESN'T PING EVERY NIGHT.
Instead what is true, you will register the Google Fi sim card with the new phone. You can keep using it if you want, or what some people do it they toss that brand new registered sim card and throw it in a drawer (Do NOT use it in another device for 120 days!) and forget about it for 120 days and just keep paying your google fi phone bill using the cheapest plan available which is about $20 per month. They will then take a different sim card from their existing cell carrier (verizon, tmobile att etc...) and put it in this brand new s23 Ultra and start using it like normal. After 120 days you will see the $600 credit post to your account, then you can cancel your google Fi sim card that you forgot about when you tossed it in your drawer 120 days ago. This is an unlocked phone, so it is not locked to google fi. You just need to register the google fi sim card 1st, then ensure that google fi sim card doesn't go into another cell phone for 120 days. But feel free to put in your old existing sim after you register the google fi sim.
Next question usually is how do I get a "burner" phone number to port over since I was never an existing google fi user?
Seems like there are 2 answers (Not Risky or Risky)
1) Not Risky - pay a little more and get a $13 Boost Mobile numbers via eBay is the safest bet.
2) Risky - The fine details stat that you must port a phone number that has the ability to do voice, text , and data. So that means you land line will not work, and neither will your google voice phone number. However if you go to the google fi page it has an area where you can enter a phone number and it will say your google voice number or https://www.numberbarn.
See post #640 vs post #677 & #679 (and many more soon) Others (posts #683 are saying that google honored google voice number ports during the S22 deals last year and so they shouldn't be a problem this year. Do whatever you are comfortable with. Another safe option is get a number through Tello with 500mb, unlimited texting and 100 calling minutes for $6. (One user has reported they have transferred 5 google voice accounts on previous trade in deals successfully.)
A few people have texted google chat and there have been conflicting answers, so google chat people say google voice is not allowed, some google chat says it is allowed.
If you can risk the $600 then port a google voice number, or do the $7 numberbarn. If you don't want to risk it, then get a boost mobile number off ebay and use that number as your port number.

Quote from FakeBro One important note people.For 120 days every night at 12 Fi will ping the SIM, if it is not inserted into the phone you bought you get 500$ charged back. You have to use the Fi SIM in the S23 you buy for entire duration of promo. Learned it the hard way. |

Standard shipping dates seem to be slipping on the S23 Ultra models (it shows on the last step of checkout). Standard (free) shipping times I'm seeing as of the time of this post:Lavender: Feb 21 - Feb 22 Cream: Feb 24 - Feb 27 Phantom Black/Green: Mar 6 - Mar 13 |

Just checked my order for a Phantom Black and it still says delivery by Feb 21-22. I'm guessing the pre-orders will be processed in a FIFO fashion if Google is saying March 6-13 for orders placed now?

Yeah maybe, my says Feb 23-24 for Black

Yes, it's FIFO. The black and green ones are more popular and more people ordered them, so orders placed now for those colors will take longer to ship.

I ordered the five dollar per month plan on hello mobile website. It includes talk text and 500 MB data. Free sim and taxes included. The account number for porting is given to you in an email and you can see it as well by logging into your account online, no need to use their app. The porting pin is the last four digits of your phone number, I confirmed that with customer service. Hope this helps some here who need a valid phone number to port and do not want to take any risk with GV numbers as things may have changed this year.
And bonus, the five dollar hello mobile plan second month is free. No coupon code or referral required. This comes in handy just in case the delivery date keeps getting pushed back by Google Fi.

I did it for the S22 myself. Samsung's promos weren't off to a resounding start yet.
