Just leaving this comment here for the benefit of others - This is the Edge (Mediatek processor) and not the Edge + with the Snapdragon processor.

Call 833-428-1765 for Costco TMobile and you don't even have to go to the store at all. I did this deal on Sunday.

At a Costco. They said they don't have inventory and it will be shipped to my house. Can someone confirm that's true?
that's 100% true. If they said they have stock then you'll be the first one got this phone at costco store.

Did it in the local store, and traded in a very old phone. Does your trade in email indicate $498? Mine shows $20

I used the trade in section on the app. No matter what phone a said. Or condition I said. Including cracked screen and won't power on. The trade in value was $498. So the any phone any condition seems to be true.

called costco and they said they have 90 validation period before they send out the $75 gc. Does this mean you need to use the Edge phone with your tmobile line in order to get the $75 gc? or can i just put the phone in my drawer, since i'm getting this as a spare phone only.
You don't need to use this phone at all. Assuming you're upgrading a line, not getting a new line, then the phone will ship with no SIM card. You're free to put one in or not, whatever you like. That has no impact on getting the Costco GC

I'm in a similar situation. I avoided those 'free' android phones from T-Mobile because they usually are painfully slow.

I kind of want to jump on this deal since I'm on simple choice and it doesn't look like T-Mobile will have any killer trade in deals.

Last deal that I got was $430 via 24 bill credits off an iPhone 13 by trading in a cheap iPhone 4.

This phone seems like a good backup phone. Debating if I should do it or not…
I was pleasantly surprised by how good this phone is, especially compared to the previous free phones I'd gotten (Nord N200, REVVL 6, Samsung A32, Moto G Play, Moto G 5G). If I hadn't recently upgraded to a Pixel 7, I'd have no problem using one of these as my main phone.

4.1 star ratings from TMo customers is pretty good for a free phone

Also what you said... no deals for us Simple plan holders, I had a couple lines ( mother and mother in law) just sitting there, so I figured I might as well sign them up since "free"

if u in same boat, might as well.... I am not sure I would lock my line to something I would not use as my primary device though

- Mediatek Processor
-No eSim, Funny thing is I went to Verizon today and asked for a eSim to Physical sim swap and they asked what phone was I switching to and I said "it's a moto" since 98% of the Moto family does not support eSim so the reps already had a hunch it was a Moto because of that.
- The Stylus 2022 Versions have a bad audio chip inside that sounds way worse than other manufactures.
- and lastly, dont rely on Signal bars on these phones as they are actually inaccurate. Personally did a test with a Tech company in an industry RF chamber and found that the 2022 models Moto artificially raised the signal perceived vs what the actual modem read.

I'm using the Edge 2022 right now as my main device. I switched from my Galaxy S23 (I like variety) and haven't felt the need yet to go back. Other than an average camera and an occasional stutter here or there, I have no complaints.

For tax only, it's a no brainer as long as you're going to stay with T-Mobile for two years. If you do it at Costco it's a moneymaker, at which point it would be foolish not to pick at least one up.

thanks for the confirmation.
Charging up some old phones that I have laying around. Might do 2

So there's something funky with the deal. If I try to get it online, it definitely says I will get the $498 off by trading in a Galaxy A11, however, the terms of the deal also specify which phones will get you up to $500off - which definitely does not include my phone (see below)

Are they going to honor this?

Get up to $500 off:
Apple: iPhone X, iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro
Samsung: Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, Galaxy S20 Ultra, Galaxy S20 FE, Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, Galaxy S21 Ultra, Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, Galaxy S22 Ultra, Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy Note10, Galaxy Note10+, Galaxy Note10 Lite, Galaxy Note20, Galaxy Note20 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold2, Galaxy Z Fold3, Galaxy Z Flip, Galaxy Z Flip3, Galaxy Z Flip4, Galaxy Z Fold4
OnePlus: 10 Pro, 10T, 9 Pro 5G, 9 5G, 8T+ 5G, 8T, 8 Pro 5G, 8 5G
Google Pixel: Pixel 5, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro
LG: Wing
Moto: razr 4G, razr 5G
