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.
)
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.

They are offering the s23 ultra with free memory upgrade for 600 bucks. I have an S21 that they'll give me $270 trade-in value.
So if I change the Google Fi, I get the ultra 512 GB for 330 bucks.
No company ( in the business of making profit ) going to give the phones away for free without strings attached. Some people need to grow up.

Unfortunately, it is what it is.

Mine went through pretty smoothy, except for that mandatory $120 credit 'use it or lose it' thing.
Oh and yeah, what's with $400 deposit? I still went with it since in the end numbers will add up but I was expecting $200 + $80 (tax)
We have two Galaxy S21 5G phones. According to the literature, we should only be getting an $800 trade-in value.
T-Mobile reps were pretty insistent that they were going to give 1,000 trade-in value for the ultra 512 GB. That's 200 bucks more than what the promotion stated.
Phone payments would be $10.70 per month for 24 months for each phone.
The only caveat is I'd have to upgrade to either the magenta Max plan (I would do magenta Max military for 140 bucks), or keep the magenta military and just plus up two lines and the plus up for 15 bucks a month per line gives the same benefits as the max plan.
As long as T-Mobile did not make a mistake, and I think telling them I was going to leave allowed them to give me an extra $200 reduction, I think I'm going to jump on the deal.
I crunched all the numbers across a 24-month period for the T-Mobile option, and the Google Fi option.
For me personally, because I'd have to pay off One of the other phones on our plan and lose the monthly payments by T-Mobile, and considering I'd have to buy my own Netflix UHD plan if I left T-Mobile, sticking with T-Mobile and doing the plus up on two lines Will cost $12 per month more than the Google Fi option.
The $12 a month is probably worth it considering we have T-Mobile stores in case the family members have issues. Plus... That $12 a month gives us streaming benefits on the mobile network such as HD streaming, loads and loads of hotspot, that the Google Fi simply unlimited plan would not provide.
For most other people, the Google Fi deal is better If they have a recent phone.

Even though online info states $800 for the Galaxy S21, I received $1,000 credit for each S21.
I did have to upgrade my plan to magenta Max military. And I'll keep it that way for 2 years.
So for me, my plan is now $140 plus $6 for Netflix UHD. And now we get Apple TV plus for free.
I was paying 112 a month with the Netflix UHD plan for the magenta military 4 phones.
When all was said and done, based on my calculations, I am paying $8.75 a month extra to stay with T-Mobile compared to going to the Google Fi plan. But at least with the T-Mobile plan, we're getting up to 4K streaming on the devices instead of 480p, And now we can make HD quality a video calls T-Mobile network.
