Bestbuy selling Ssmsung A13 Tmobile Locked for $79 . you can use your existing line to upgrade or add new line. Bestbuy does not charge any upgrade or new activation fee so phone will be $79 + tax.

Phonr will be unlocked after 40 days. You can request @tmobile Help on twitter to get it unlock early as its already paid off. YMMV , though.

Good backup phone.

Just go through the buying process. It's not tied to a certain plan just as long as it is TMobile postpaid

Walmart has this phone for $79.88, locked to Walmart Family Mobile or Total by Verizon. Anyone familiar with their unlocked policies?

Thanks. Was looking for a good backup phone in lieu of an iPhone 6S, and decided to jump on this since I wanted to spend < $100.

If it is a TMO phone or unlocked, you take the sim card from your current phone & put it into the new one. That is all, unless the sim card if a different size in your current phone. If your sim card is older, you might want to replace it anyway. If we replace our sim cards, we go to the TMobile store to have them transfer all the info to a new one, pop it in, & the phone works.

You could get the a14 from metro for free plus plan for a month (~40) and just wait 6 months for auto unlock

For those of you smarter than me, my spouses flip 3 was stolen in March and my fold 3 broke down after warranty and not worth it. We are operating on super old phones and my barely turns on and Amys mic barely works. Not a way to live right now. But we are not ready to pull the trigger yet on the latest and greatest again. So this deal looks like an immediate alternative to our issue?

Does this community agree?

I have a tmobile business plan for 4 employees on magenta max.
Don't plan to add a new line or upgrade, so can I just got to Best Buy tonight and we buy 2 phones and switch SIMS and change our situation?

Sorry for asking but I no alot of you know the details so much better. And for other phone deals where you always need to add a new line, etc...how are people getting around that or what is the play there? Thanks - Jp

How does this one compare with pixel 6a at $149?

I can't purchase it. It says T-Mobile is telling us that Plans are not compatible. I'm on old plan that I forgot what it was called. Not Magenta, not unlimited but was converted by Tmobile to unlimited.
