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.

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

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 :-(
