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."

After the trade in is shipped and delivered to Bestbuy, how long does it take to receive the refund?
I don't see option to trade-in the device in store.

Well, I've traded into Best buy for many years. But it's up to you. There's been Best buy employees on Reddit in the past even saying that they don't care and they don't check. In 2021 for Black Friday I was able to get iPhone 12 minis at Walmart for $290 and they gave $630 for the iPhone 13. I just picked Verizon back then. Nobody cares. Nobody checks. Good luck.

So total price is 145 + $239 Pixel 8 $539 8 Pro. Still WAY cheaper than main price
Exactly. It's basically a straight $300 discount and you get the bonus of the watch or the buds. If you could sell the watch for $200 It's like getting $500 bucks off!

Is your previous experience doing the trade in in-store? Or have you also had success mailing it in?

Thanks.

$600 after everything still seems too much for a pixel but thanks op it's the best deal right now.
Haters gotta hate.
Yeah definitely but keep in mind you could sell the watch if you want! And take your price down maybe $200 or so. Good luck though!

I just do in store. It's super quick and easy. Plus I'm always at work so I don't want to have to be home for UPS or whoever. But you can mail it in if you'd like. I just never have.

I don't think Best buy is going to take it. I know that T-Mobile will take phones with cracked back glass. For this deal I would advise to do exactly what I posted in the listing and just buy an SE that gives you $300 off each phone.

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 😔
On paper the 8 looks very similar to the 7. I am still OK with my 6a for now. If I needed a mobile right now I would be tempted on the 8 and the trade in.

Weird, no trade in listed for the 5a. They've got the 4a, 5, 6, and 6a....I probably wouldn't trade it in, since it's the last phone with a rear fingerprint reader, but it's still odd that it's not listed.

PS - iphone XR (eg, from the boost deal) is just $20 less trade in than the SE3

Have iPhone 6s plus, very good condition and works like charm, better than my S8. Let me know any good trade in deals for 6s plus or S8 or 12 pro (need to trade them off as their value is becoming negligible 😢)

I read in-store trade-ins aren't a thing anymore, everything gets shipped out and assessed by the trade-in assessment company they use? Do they assess it in-store and give you the trade-in credit at purchase time? I'm not sure if they still do that.
