Credit goes to TealCable6389 for the initial discovery, but the deal is much broader than in their post and with better trade-ins than the Pixel 7. Still, give them a thumbs up if you like this deal.

T-Mobile has great deals for Pixels 8s and Moto razrs [t-mobile.com] with instant discounts and a $500 trade-in credit (over 24 months). Upgrades qualify, no new line required. Go5G, Magenta, or ONE plans qualify.

Pixel 8: $100 + tax
Pixel 8 Pro: $300 + tax
Moto razr 2023: $52 + tax
Moto razr+ 2023: $250 + tax

This deal is available through all T-Mobile sales channels: internet, phone, retail, kiosks, etc. Upgrading through Sams Club and Costco will get your $35 activation fee waived and a $75 bonus gift card.

Instant discount sale may end at any time. Ask for the $500 trade-in promotion by referring to Smartphone Trade ID240206​, Promo Code: P706​​ [t-mobile.com].

Cheapest trade-able phone for the full $500 credit would be a Samsung S9 for $90 [ebay.com]. Trade-ins must be in good condition (turns on; no water damage; no screen cracks; and in my experience screen burn and scratches are acceptable).

This deal is for existing T-mobile customers with qualifying plans to upgrade. There are better deals for new T-Mobile customers, like 4x iPhone 15 + Essentials plan for $100.

Costco $100 GC and waived $35 activation fee for upgrading through them:
I just upgraded this morning at Costco as well, and based on the Promo Code that the rep gave me, I'm seeing a $100 Costco GC as well.

Your comment cannot be blank.

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.
No love for SC plans, again
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!

Quote from RUsum1 :
$205 after discount or before discount? Because it reads like you're paying an extra $20 per month now just so you qualify for phone discounts which doesn't make sense

205 after. I'm paying slightly more, but now Im not having to pay full price on the side for phone upgrades. Plus, coming from that horrible att service (I was even on firstnet), it's fine. Btw, that 205 includes the payment for the S24+ ,and two S9FE tablets. Seriously though, I know people hold on to the old SC plans because they are cheap, but you can't complain that you're not included in the current deals.

On Military Magenta 1.0 plan, 4 lines for $100/mo. Any plan upgrade wouldn't be worth it in the long term. Would like to upgrade my Pixel 6a to the 8 Pro for the camera and would like to upgrade my wife's iPhone. Not a deal for me here on the Pixel 6a (which is a good phone) but I can wait until Black Friday at this point.

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.
