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."

No, it can be a phone locked to a carrier, but not a blocked phone.

EDIT 1: Because they are going to run your IMEI number.

Google store shows promotion ending on October 16th. Will BestBuy not honor the same deadline?
Due to bad sales, I believe Google and Bestbuy will have another promotion soon.
Don't fall for this average deal

Ashby, you gave me enough information to get this deal without asking (Begging/crying)for a receipt and your credit card number, etc. Sometimes a little trust is needed

I feel stupid for still being confused.
So to do it this way I bring my pixel 4a and iPhone 3se to the store and do it all right there, nothing online beforehand?
And I can do it on the 12th as well?
I would double check the pixel 4a gets the elevated tradeins values. Not all pixels get the uplift.

But to answer your question, yes, all in store and nothing online. I was told it expires today, but I can't confirm if that's true or not as I did my trade in a few days ago.

Here is detailed steps for 2 phone at promo trade- Its Possible as provided by BB employee. Thanks to him for sharing entire process step by step.

1. Get 2 phone for trade in ( has to be different - i.e one iPhone and other Android) reason being both trade in generates different sku based on different phone and that is key. If u trade same platform phone twice sku are same and it will not work as only one coupon of same sku works.

2. First get both trade ins done ( 2 times you need to sign) make sure each trade in gives you bb gift card and single use coupon -total of coupon and gift card should ne equal to trade in value u see online.

3. When entering tradein if they say u will get just 200 or 300 ask them to apply promo code google that's the trick

4. Only select unlocked phone colour black ( e.g for blue their is restriction that u need verizon and if u take verizon thank watch promo not apply)

5. Make sure to get watch added in same order ( as unlike online watch doesn't get added automatically?- dont be fooled by bb employee tell
specifically to add watch)

6. Watch color only black make sure also its wifi else it will mess up entire order.


7. After seeing all good then only pay for remaining.

8. Coupon values - of both phones reduces price before tax so effectively u pay tax on net amount apart from gift cards.


In my example I traded p7 and ip11 and got 200 × 2 gift cards and 250 coupon for p7 and 300 coupons for ip11..so net transaction 999- 250-300 = 449+ tax on 449 is net amount - 200-200 gift card = so 49+tax on 449 is the payment amount.

Watch should show 349- 349 = 0.

Attached are snips of receipts which are important to check

FYI - BBs have already received all stock items in store but they will only sell and provide pickup after 12.

Please try tomorrow and day after as it will be last days of preorder.

Make most of deal - any questions welcome...
Finally the mvp we have all been waiting for

Quote from BJFISHY :
If you really believe it can be done with 2 trades and want to risk it. You can go to your local metro pcs store today, call ahead and see if they have any pixel 6a. Sign up for their plan and new number you get it for $50+40 plan so $90+ tax. It's an instant rebate so you can cancel before the second month. No contract.
That is your Hail Mary at trying 2 phones today lol SE walmart $150 metro 6a $90 get $460 SE and $300 6a.
BJFISHY how are you still salty and arguing with ppl. It's literally proven you can trade in two phones.

What exactly is the deadline for bestbuy?
I was wondering the same thing. Worse case if you miss the pre-order, you can catch the Pixel 8 on a Black Friday deal.
