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."

Looks that way. Maybe it'll come back in stock. The porcelain was showing shipping on the 18th a little while ago and then switched back to launch day. Maybe just keep an eye on it?

Just got the Walmart phone. Do I need to activate a plan in order to make that trade? I've never had an iPhone, I stick to Androids but I got this just for the trade. So do I need to activate a simple plan so they can have access to the ime on the iPhone?

I bought the iphone from walmart, will be trading in (in person) at best buy. There was no option for straight talk so I picked Verizon. Hopefully no one cares. Thanks OP!
Do you have to have a basic plan so that the store can access the IME on the phone? I got one just to trade but I don't have or own an iPhone. I just got it just to trade it for the deal

They don't care about the carrier. As long as the condition, color, storage match
just switch it on, skip everything you can skip, until you can tap the setting, and go to about, to check the imei, done.

How is it that the iPhone SE still has a faster Geekbench for both single and multi than the brand new Pixel 8 Pro?

iPhone SE
Single - 2231
Multi - 5107

Pixel 8 Pro
Single - 1760
Multi - 4442

Can anyone verify that I am able to trade-in an iPhone SE at a BestBuy in another state (since I'm on vacation), and then pickup the Pixel 8 + Pixel Buds in my home state on the 12th??

Don't see why not, but want to be 100% before doing this, of course....

I thought you can only trade in the iPhone SE on the day of picking up Pixel 8 on Oct 12th, or can you trade in earlier when you pick up the Pixel Bud?

NO assurance, but those who do so have yet to claim failure.

This was on 10/08/2023.

My experience was pretty much same like the others.

I bought the iPhone SE prepaid locked to Straight Talk from Walmart. Opened it and set it up enough to the point that it displayed the icons and settings. Didn't really have to sign in or anything.

Took it to a bestbuy and they had problems processing the $300. Kinda expected this as many people here claim to have experienced the same.

Went to another bestbuy, they did the trade in and honored the $460 (160+ 300 promo) credit towards the pixel. They were able to generate 2 gift cards. 1 had the $160 and the other coupon had $300. They gave me the buds on the spot and also shipped the phone to my house for free!

(YMMV) My Walmart had a very strict "no refunds on opened prepaid phones" policy. They clearly mentioned they don't take back any prepaid phones if they're opened. If the phones are defective or they don't work, I'd have to contact straight talk or Apple. I called bullshit , but knew that returning the phone to Walmart would be hard.
