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."

When we go in-store to trade in the iPhone SE 3rd Gen, can we take the packed box to trade in or open it? Because once you open it you cant return it to Walmart.

Pre order already gave them my phones

Now it's definitely bs or you got a clueless employee but I will believe it's bs since BB only accepts the trade in at the time of pickup or for available stock.

I'm getting $160 for trade in value for BB for an AT&T 3rd Gen SE (yes I selected the right model and condition). Walmart is selling a locked to straight talk se... which is not an option for BB to take in for trade. Not sure how to replicate this deal without trying to look through 18 pages of comments.

Hmmm, so then the Best Buy chat rep who confirmed with their supervisor that the trade-in device has to be handed over in store at the time of pre-order, is clueless too, correct?

Original Price $699.00
Store Pickup: FREE
Estimated Sales Tax: $48.93
Due Today: $747.93
Trade-In Value: -$450.00
Total After Trade-In: $297.93
iPhone SE 3rd Gen from wally: $149+Tax=$160
Total cost: $457.93

I am not sure if it's worth going through this hassle to upgrade from Pixel 7 to Pixel 8 unless if you're really need to upgrade your older phones.

iPhone SE 3rd Gen from Walmart - $149+Tax=$160 for my state
(this gives $460 trade-in towards a Pixel 8 or 8 Pro with BestBuy)

After deducting $460 trade-in, we pay $239+Tax ) for Google Pixel 8 (Does Google calculates the Tax on total device price before deducting the trade-in ?).

So total including the tax comes around $416 or more depending on your state tax and I am not sure if it's worth going through this hassle to upgrade from Pixel 7 to Pixel 8 unless if you're really need to upgrade your older phones.
Hmm, how do you get to $416?

If you're up for more footwork to save about $100 more, you can get the iPhone 11 from Metro via the deal on this page: https://www.metrobyt-mobile.com/d...eealldeals . It'll require the $65 plan, $25 activation fee, and taxes. So maybe around $100 total, depending on what amount is taxed. You then get the phone for $0 and can cancel the plan as soon as you get home. This works out a little better than the SE from walmart, and then the trade-in value at BB is $500 for the iPhone 11. It does, of course, require running the gauntlet of a trip to a Metro store. May or may not be worth it for you, but it works out better dollar-wise at least.

Straight Talk,Walmart Family,and total wireless are all Verizon. Model number is the same. I have done trade in for more than 50 times, nobody cares about carrier lock/unlock. They can care about id lock

Holy s---. I thought I was the only one. Exact same boat.

My #1 gripe about the P7 is the in-screen fingerprint reader. Almost broke me to the point of switching to Apple.
takes practice..take multiple scans of the same finger to increase accuracy.

Even if you get the unlocked version, it looks like BB is forcing you to choose Google Fi, VZ or ATT? Does this mean i only get bill credits? What am i missing?

You forget about the part about porting in a number
