Deal Details
I've read that my fellow SD-ers don't care for carrier promotions. Okay, but this one is good.

I've been on T-Mobile for years, and I've had good experience with them, although YMMV. If you're on their Magenta Max plan, as I am, or are willing to switch to that plan, here's the deal:

$1,379.99 Galaxy S23 Ultra, 512GB, full price
(180.00) Samsung's current promo of 512GB for the price of 256GB
-------------
$1,199.99 T-Mo's price for the phone
(1,000.00) T-Mo's current trade-in promotion for my Galaxy S21+ 5G
-------------
199.99 which must be paid in 24 monthly instalments of $8.34
========

Older phones get less than $1,000 trade-in.

Depending on your state, you'll have to pay tax on $1,199.99 up front. Also, T-Mo charges a $35 upgrade fee (taxable) which is pure BS, so I'm going to try to get it back.

Caveats:
1- Have to be okay with a carrier-locked phone, at least until it's paid for.
2- Have to be okay with T-Mobile. (Verizon has a similar deal.)
3- Have to be on their Magenta Max plan. I'm on MM 55+. (Membership has its privileges. Smilie)
4- Only recent phones qualify for $1,000 trade-in.

And also this ...

5- Have to be okay with the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Not everyone is impressed by it.

TBH, I don't really need all that the S23 Ultra offers, but for $200, WTH. And it will assure me of a top-dollar trade-in for the next phone.

What benefits do you get with mm and not get with mm 55+? Any?
MM 55+ is exactly the same as MM ... it only costs a little less.

Is it really 199.99? What can you sell your S21+ for? It cost that and 199.99.

Do the same deal on samsung.com, you'll get Samsung credits on top of this. You can select T-Mobile financing on Magenta Max, everything happens through T-Mobile including trade in. You just get credits on top of this
I just bought this yesterday, only thing I am wondering is if I can trade in for s24 or z fold 5 without issues (if tmobile will keep charging me and if Samsung credits will keeps applying even after I trade in the phone)

The credits from Samsung.com is $120 to spend on their website, not really recurring credits

If I upgrade to Magenta Max, I need to pay $53 more per month for my 4-line account but I will get 2 screen Netflix streaming ($15 per month value). It almost make even. It would be cheaper if I get the unlocked one on Samsung with 15% cashback and $150 credits for accessories.

Look friends ... if you don't like T-Mo, don't like Magenta Max, don't like keeping a phone for 24 months ... that's fine. In that case, my post is not intended for you, and you don't have to reply. But I didn't post anything dishonest or misleading or insulting, so I haven't earned the hate.

No hate for your, just hate for the deal. Honestly, I am not sure why you would have posted this anyway, I don't think there has been a single S23 post that has not gotten slammed with TDs. There is at least one with several hundred in the negative column.

Okay, I get that.

One last point, and then I'm done: My trade-in value is more than I paid for my S21+ in the first place. Then I'm paying $200 for a $1,379 phone. I'll bet I get at least $200 when I trade-in that phone in a couple of years. So the numbers work for me. And fortunately, I've done very well with T-Mo and Magenta Max. So I'm a happy person.

To all the TDs ... let's just say I prefer a different finger. LMAO

I only pay $100 a month for 4 lines on max. Discounts are available occasionally. The bill credits are only for 24 months not 36.
