Would this work for 15+ year plans like Simple Choice Family plans?

Bestbuy selling Samsung S21 FE Tmobile Locked for $199 . 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 $199+ tax for new line and $249 + tax for upgrade.

Phone 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.

Once unlocked, will it work on any carrier or Verizon?
If you go to Europe, will it work there?

How much will it cost for the 40days before activation?

I believe for a new line on T-mobile they do a hard pull on your credit too.

If you dont have a tmobile account and you are opening a new tmobile account then they will do a hard pull.
For existing customers there is no hard pull for adding a new line.

It didn't work for my simple choice plan but I get a discount through work. I've heard if you have any kind of discount on your plan best buy will not be able to activate your new phone. I tried twice and the both got canceled. I tried yesterday.

After unlocked, would this phone work on Verizon? I have T-mobile now but will be switching to Verizon in near future.

Apparently I use S21 fe for visible. I have trouble getting proper coverage (low bars) in some places and visible says this as an unsupported device :-(

It is still possible, as long as you have less than 5 lines on your plan right now. BestBuy rep must call T-Mobile (through their dealer line) and get them to add a new line to your plan. Some reps know about it, some don't, but their system won't let them add a line if they try temselves..
I have a discount through employer, on a Simple Choice plan and have been adding lines through BestBuy and Costco promos for years..
