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."

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.
Thanks for sharing. Normally you can return to a different Walmart store if one doesn't allow you to return it.

Right, but Mint was not owned by T-Mobile back then, plus it was right before the Russian greed war started. Prices have been affected since then, and T-Mobile is great for promos, but for this one.....not too sure. Also the volume of sales of this phone in the first few months might be a factor to consider.

Pixel 7 Pro dropped like a rock, only $400 now on craigslist/facebook. I' won't bite on a couple hundred off.
I'll bite when it's under $100 with trade in. Else, i'll just wait and get Pixel 8 Pro next year for 60% off

Thanks, yeah! I didn't want to reach a situation where I'd have to return the SE in the first place so I'm happy it worked out! Smilie

Just be patient and wait for best deal - just check this deal last year where pixel 7 and 7 pro were almost free with iPhone 11 and below model tradein - https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/fp/784642
The problem is Fi doesn't do credits anymore, they are only doing bill credits. I want a Pixel 8, but not if I'll be on a 2-year contract.

With the Wally iPhone SE trade-in, the OTD price for Pixel Pro 8 is about $750 (with 8% tax). However, you are getting a watch that could probably be sold for $200. So essentially, you are paying $550 for the phone taxes inclusive. This is not a bad price and is consistent with your observation that PP7 (probably used) is selling for $400 right now.

I have a couple of questions:

I've seen conflicting information on this. Is the tax refunded on the $460 refund/rebate?

Why are people purposefully smudging the screens on the phones they turn in?

its common sense. you don't want to invite them to question your device why its new.
