Best Buy's page if you want to activate an unlocked device as part of the order says "We're currently only able to activate service on this unlocked device with Verizon, Google Fi Wireless and AT&T."

But that doesn't mean the phone isn't compatible with T-Mobile, it probably means they don't stock T-Mobile SIMs and service. Do you have a source that says this unlocked phone from Best Buy will not take a T-Mobile SIM?

Also, trade-in note at checkout if you're selecting store pickup is "Bring your trade-in device to the store when you pick up your new item."
Then pixel 7 went on sale without any trade-in for $289 from Mint a few months after launch...
p7 to p8 needs to be $50 or less, otherwise I don't know who is gonna upgrade bruh.

I did this pretty much exactly shortly after the Pixel 7 came out. Bought pre-paid iphone 11 for $200 and even traded it 30 min later in Walmart/BB combo deal. Great for those who want one of the latest phones, but likes their NVMOs. This is the way...

Heck yeah I'm glad you know how to do it! Not sure why people down voted me. I tried to make it more simple to understand. I think a few people have been posting things but nobody really explains that you can just go to Walmart and buy this phone that gives you $300 bucks off any of the pixel phones makes the Pixel 8 $399 and comes with Buds Pro or Pixel 8 Pro $699 plus you get a freaking watch! Pay $149+ tax and get $460!

This deal is exactly the equivalent. Pixel 7 was $599 this year the 8 is $699 So You have to take that and consideration. Walmart SE $149 gives you $310 extra in credit plus you get Buds Pro where the mint mobile deal you did not get any extra stuff. $599-310 was $289 so this deal is the equivalent and you don't have to wait "months"

Could be several reasons for the down votes. Sometimes they have to do with the post, but sadly sometimes not. Just putting item and a price in title when it can't just be bought for that will almost always get down votes. We added info to title, but still some are not going to want to deal with the trade-in part or just aways boo trade in deals. Many threads posted for the Pixel 7 later for way more than I paid ($200 for even trade), so it is what it is. Also, not big fans of pre-sale/ordering anything, so that is always a factor too.

I don't see an option to trade-in a Straight Talk iPhone SE 3rd gen when I through Best Buy's online trade program.

Pick any option. BestBuy doesn't care or check. Pick Verizon or whatever.

too bad you cant upgrade to lte watch
If you buy from google store you can for $49 more. They don't give this much on the SE though. But they do give $440 on the iphone 11 for the 8Pro, which is pretty good.

I don't think it's worse, but I'm not convinced I need to upgrade.

That said, I'm satisfied with my P7, not I hate the fingerprint reader. Missing the rear fingerprint scanner on P5... in screen one really sucks 😔
