I remember when these trade in deals with T-Mobile used to get you the pixels for free on simple choice. No longer the uncarrier, oh well.

Dang, no love for SC members. I can't give up my plan from 10+ yrs ago. I have like 6 free lines on it so nothing else comes close.

Last good SC deal was moto edge 2022. I got 3.

My only deals outlet now is Samsung.com trade in deals. Here's hoping for a great mid-cycle deal like they did for the S23U. I got mine + Tab S9 + watch & earbuds for less than $400!

Oh wow that's quite high!
Not really, since that price has three equipment payments in it as well. Listen, and even I considered this. If you're not going to be on T-Mobile with a plan that qualifies for upgrade deals, you might as well find the cheapest prepaid carrier using T-Mobile because staying on SC, you're essentially paying the premium price for no upgrades.

Taxes on the full $600 value, $35 upgrade fee, and 2yr commitment. At least it's available on most postpaid plans (sorry simple choice users).

How do you trade in a device that's not in use on your current plan? Like the S9?
If you are upgrading with a person (chat, phone, retail, kiosk, etc), just tell them that you want to trade in a different phone. If you are upgrading through the website, once you add the new phone and select the line you want to upgrade, there is a button for "Validate Trade-In". Select that and choose a different phone than your current phone.

My phone has a small black blob on the top right corner. No cracks on the screen. Anyone have experience with a trade in with a black blob?

Pixel 8 is $7.29 a month for 24 mos with $79.45 due today.

7.29 x 24 = 174.96 plus the $79 due now is $254 total cost. Not really sure if I should trade in a S21 FE for the pixel 8.

Black blobs are iffy for trade-ins. They indicate screen damage and screen damage is a general no. However, depending on the location, they may not be visible through a cursory inspection. The safest ways are to buy the S9 for $90 and trade that in, or upgrade and immediately trade-in in 1 transaction at a T-mobile corporate store (act fee and no $75 gc).

I have TMOBILE never use their "deals" because I like to purchase the higher storage capacity Pixels directly from Google and Tmobile never carries those.

However, does anyone know if I would have to trade in my existing Pixel 8 PRO to get this deal, or could I trade-in a cheap phone on EBAY, get the new phone, and give it to a relative that has Verizon.

You can definitely buy a " cheaper phone" off eBay and trade it in for this promo as long as it passes inspection your fine. However once you get the T-Mobile pixel it will be LOCKED to T-Mobile for at least 40 days and you have to pay off the payment instalments. Then you could have it unlocked and give it to a relative on Verizon.

Yes, you can trade in an ebay phone for any carrier promotions. Yes, people give away or sell their new phones after completing the unlocking terms. How is already covered in this thread.

Dig around, you might have uncovered a different promo and you can start your own thread.

Thanks for the info. If I pay it off early do I forfeit the remaining bill credits?
I know my relative is currently checking SWAPPA AND GAZELLE, so that may be easier.

EDIT: DISREGARD. Looks like I'll keep receiving the bill credits if I pay off early.
