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."

its common sense. you don't want to invite them to question your device why its new.
Why is that common sense? If I'm trading it in, what do they care so long as they're making the sale. Is there a restriction on trading in a new phone?

Can we do trade in in store even though the phone is home delivery? I hate to do mail in trade ins.

Quote from dh747 :
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.
Yeah totally. I am planning on selling the watch. Will start at $250 on Craigslist.

I traded in , in store and had them ship it to my house. I didn't place any order online, did it all in store. Don't know if this answers your question!

This is just silly. All of the phone I owned has case and screen protector on day 1 so whether I trade in or resell it they looks new and I even keep the box and won't open charger cable if I have. an usable one .

Also I use alcohol wipe to clean it up... this is just common courtesy.

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?
I would think so on every page the trade in details says including applicable tax is refunded.

I'm still waffling on this, thinking if I want to give up my Pixel 5a's 2-3 day battery life for a better phone. Could get the Pixel 8 for $260 after trading in an iPhone a friend was gonna recycle.

im scared too about this
Quote from IndigoFruit4359 :
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.
I did this 3x times and not once did anyone question the iPhone in any way. I didn't set it up, or smudge anything. Just handed it right to them. I did 1 at one store and 2x at another store for reasons unrelated. Anyone here who is nervous about it working shouldn't be, all they care about is that they can check the IMEI.

No need for any of that at all. Turn the phone on and at the bottom right is a little info button that gives the IMEI. Don't have to sign into anything or skip anything.

Imei is also on the back of the box lol. I didn't even break the seals. Best buy guy didn't either before scanning the imei barcode. He eventually did because he was looking for something on the back of the envelope stuck to the box but nothing was there. The box is so taped down with seals and tabs to pull off to gain entry into the box and the activation stuff.

Doing it in store, the $300 is a coupon that prints out while they're processing it that they scan. The $160 is the original trade in credit that comes in the form of a giftcard.. which they also scan when purchasing so the tax drops by the $300 coupon. Not the $160 part bc it's a giftcard.

If that associate just transcribed the imei number on the outside of the box and didn't open the box and switch on the phone, that could be a very incompetent associate.
