Unlocked out of the box.

120 days of service require

Minimum plan - $20/month so $100 approx for 4 months

S24+ - $450 + Tax = 512GB ( BEST DEAL )


S24 - $350 + Tax = 256GB

You cannot take out sim card from 4 months. Activate fi sim as e-sim and use your existing sim card in primary sim.

====== Info on Activating the Fi Phone, Tracking your Promo Discount, Completing the Promo and Pause/Cancel Fi Service after 120 days ====== added on 2/1/24 by hpham_53

* Activating the Fi S24 phone
When you get the phone:
1. The SIM is already installed in the phone, although the phone box is sealed.
2. Turn on the phone, connect it to WiFi and log into the same Google account that was used to purchase the phone.
3. Download and install the Fi app from Google Play Store.
4. Leave WiFi ON. Run the Fi app. It will insist that you turn Data ON. Go ahead and turn Data ON. It might use a few MB of Data before switching to WiFi. If FI charges you for that Data at all, it will be 1-3 cents added to the 2nd bill.
5. Go through the activation process with the app which will transfer your Fi service from yourl old phone to the S24.
6. Your S24 phone should be activated on Fi then. Make some test calls/texts to make sure that the phone is working on Fi.

* Tracking Your Promo Discount
Log into your Fi account on the web site. There's a countdown in your Billing-->Fi Savings-->In Progress that shows how many more days your Fi service has to remain active. About 24 hrs after you activated the Fi SIM, the In Progress Tracker should show a checklist with entries like: Bought a phone, Got a discount, Activated the SIM, Stay xxx more days on Fi. Make sure the "Activate the SIM" entry is checkmarked and it shows 120 days to go. Then for a few days after that, keep checking the In Progress to make sure the countdown is decreasing each day. The countdown is updated at the same time each day (around the time of day that you activated the Fi SIM).

* How to Verify that your S24 promo was Earned
There's a countdown in your Billing-->Fi Savings-->In Progress that shows how many more days your Fi service has to remain active. The countdown will never say zero day. On the 120th day, it will stay at "1 more day". On the morning of the 121st day, the countdown should say "Stayed (past tense) active on Fi for 120 days in a row". Then later in the day, the In Progress column disappears, and the promo discount gets moved to the Earned column. At that time or later, it's safe to Cancel or Pause your Fi service.

You can use this Date Calculator: https://www.timeanddate.com/date/dateadd.html
Enter your activation date as the Start Date, select Add 121 days and it'll show the date when it's safe to cancel/pause your Fi service.

* How to Cancel your Fi service
In your Fi account, click on Account-->Your Plan, scroll down until you see "Leave Google Fi". Click on that and follow the on-screen instructions. You'll have the options to Let Go your Fi phone number, or Transfer To Another Provider. (There used to be an option to port it back to Google Voice, but I think it's no longer available). If you choose to let go your Fi number, your Fi service will be cancelled IMMEDIATELY. If you choose to port out, your Fi service will remain active until your Fi number has been ported out to another provider.

* How to Pause your Fi service
In your Fi account, click on Account-->Your Plan, scroll down until you see "Pause Service". Click on that and follow the on-screen instructions. Your Fi service will be paused and Automatically Resumed after 90 days, unless you cancel it before 90 days are up. Once it's Resumed, you can leave it Active, or Cancel it, or Pause again (I don't know how many times you can Pause). If you have a lot of remaining referral Fi credit (which is not refundable), you can choose Pause instead of Cancel to wait and see if there will be new Fi promotions in the future to use up your Fi credit.

============================================================

Steps I took as a former Fi subscriber to get this deal: https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=168780265&postcount=512

Strong recommendation: For people who activate service on a BYOD device to become an existing customer, wait a minimum of 24 hours (recommended 48 hours) before purchasing the S24. Those who activate and purchase the same day usually have major issues. The countdown timer will not be triggered and you will have no choice but to forfeit the discount or return the phone. You can try to contact support and ask to escalate to a specialist which may or may not have success and will likely eat up your return window.

For those that purchased same day, it seems that given early data points including mine that
Fi has manually approved the promo after escalating. Unknown if this will consistently be successful by others in future, though.

Your comment cannot be blank.

Featured Comments

How do you get this to work if you only keep it for 4 months?
Thought it's a 24 Month Bill credit?

"Get reimbursed over 24 months
Receive $27.09 off each bill for 24 months
The credit is tied to the person who activated the device"

Sorry for the ignorance but I'm new to Google Fi deals!
I can only see 250 off offer. Existing customer.
My account is only showing 250 off Frown

Quote from Imaginaire :
Followed the steps on this thread to finally order with existing customer promo. Total with taxes came out to $711. Delivery date for S24U Violet shows Mar 12-19 but hoping they will deliver it earlier than that. For anyone still trying, here are the steps again. I never had Fi service.
1. Sign up as new customer and activate your line with eSIM. I did this on 1/22.
2. Pre-order the Galaxy phone of your choice with the new customer promo of $650 off in 24 mos. Ordered on 1/22. Cancel this order once it shows up in your Manage Order history.
3. Wait one day. Today, on 1/23 when I am now eligible for the $650 off existing customer promo. My bill is not generated but I was still able to claim the promo and order.

Unfortunately, I am a day or two late as the delivery dates have moved significantly now. S24U Black was showing mid-Feb delivery dates.
I can confirm these steps also worked with my unused account that had been inactive with Fi for 2+ years. I did not sign up as a new customer, but just reactivated my existing account with a new Flexible plan + eSim in Step 1.

Note for me the instant off promo didn't show up till just before noon the next day (ET), so keep checking if you don't see it the next morning!

I followed your steps, but after I cancelled my order for the 24 mos deal, I see that that offer is still available to me if I want to do it again. Other people reported that that offer was no longer available to them after cancellation. Did that offer disappear for you immediately?

Can you confirm if you were able to see the offer today?

Yes. It's makes sense to move to the esim unless you intend not to use the phone at all with the Fi sim and can leave it at home.

More so I don't want to risk being flagged inactive or to have to periodically put sim back in to seem active.

For those of you who are not current "existing customers", I can confirm you can still get the promo following these steps as it did for me, munna, Retr0spect, Imaginaire, FindSomeDeals, and others. I had not used Fi service since 2019.
1) I signed up to Google Fi on the Flexible Plan and selected BYOD sim card (Fi will ship you a physical SIM for free).
2) I selected "assign me new number" since I didn't want to port my real number.
3) I then activated the eSIM to my current Pixel 6 Pro (but since the Pixel supports dual SIM, I kept calls/text/data assigned to my current cell service carrier).
4) I waited four days but the 120-day promo was not showing up for me.
5) On 1/23, I decided to try the pre-ordered trick, so I pre-ordered the base S24 phone with the 24-month promo.
6) Within about 15 mins, it showed up on my "Orders" screen (which for some reason is under store.google.com/orderhistory)
7) I immediately cancelled this order.
8) One day later, on 1/24, I saw the S24 120-day promo show up on fi.google.com.

Probably because the Google Store/Google Pay handles financing sales.

My gray base S24 256GB was ordered at noon 1/17. The original Est. Delivery date was Jan 31-Feb 7. But a few days ago it was narrowed down to just Feb 2.

Can google charge 650 later after they find out we aren't their old "existing customers"?

My plan is to see the promo tracker start counting down days while the phone is still returnable. If the promo does not track properly, then the phone goes back. I hope they will not decide to invalidate the promo two months into the promo, when the phone is no longer returnable.

Not sure why do the psim to esim step, if you want to use the phone from other carrier. You can use esim for that

I have been getting the same Fi deal (s23, s22) and I always keep the psim in the phone and just transfer my regular carrier line (Mint, Tmobile, Tello... or whatever) and use esim

Yes! I got the instant $650 off with the 120 day requirement this morning! This has got to be one of the hackiest hacks ever to get a deal.

But now I'm ringing my hands over whether I should wait until my bill is finalized before pulling the trigger. I recall reading some earlier posts which seemed to indicate that it could cause you problems if you don't.

Meanwhile the phone I ordered from Samsung.com has just shipped and is arriving 1/26. I paid a total of $1,025 for it including tax so getting the phone through Google Fi would be a huge savings for me. But now I will have to send that one back and deal with all the worrying that involves (yes, I'm a worrier by nature).

Because I have to occasionally move my other carriers sim to activate other phones temporarily. Much easier to do with psim vs having to contact csr to move esim (on verizon)

After you ordered and activated your S24, log into your Fi account, select Billing-->Fi Savings-->In Progress. It should show a checklist of items to be completed and a countdown of how many more days you need to stay active with Fi. The countdown decreases by 1 every 24 hrs. Like member DiMAn0684 said above, if it keeps ticking down then you're OK. In an old S23 thread when someone (brand new to Fi) signed up with a BYOP SIM to become an "existing member" and ordered their S23 with instant discount, after activation the checklist showed "NEW MEMBER activated the device" along with a yellow exclamation mark. If that happens, cancel your FI service and return the phone.
