Since the phone is "On Us with trade" Via 24 monthly bill credits, then the phone won't be paid off until 2 years later (after 24 monthly bill credits). Meaning you can't Unlock the phone until 2 years from the time the phone has been active on the T-Mobile network on the requesting line.

That's impossible, how can I mail it and have them receive it the next day? They should have an expiration date at least a week or two away, so that I can first receive and activate the new Pixel 9, copy stuff over (if needed), delete all my personal info from the Pixel 6 ("You will remove all Device data and personal information, passwords, security software, or user locks."), then ship it to them and leave time for shipping carrier to get it to them.
So I reluctantly backed out at the final step.
What's next?
Once that cool new device is in your hands, get started on these important next steps.
Trade in your old device
Once your new Pixel 9 Pro ships, you'll have 30 days to send back your current Google GVU6C Pixel 7 5G 128GB White - T-Mobile in good condition to retain your promotional value of $800.00.

Anyone think the pixel 9 worth getting as a secondary phone for $400?
Thank You for your post.
Option 1: spend $200ish now (buying a phone to trade for $100-$150 + tax and fees) and get a Pixel 9 and also still have your Pixel 4a.
Option 2: spend $500ish now ($400 + tax and fees) and get a Pixel 9...and get to feel like you got some value for your 4a?
It makes no mathematical sense to trade your 4a. Literally the only thing that does is make you feel like you got some value out of trading it. But as outlined above...you actually got negative $300 in value out of trading it compared to trading a different $100 phone for $800. You're far better off doing option 1...even if the next step is to throw your 4a in the trash. If your 4a is in decent condition, you should be able to sell it in any number of places for about $100, and now it only cost you about $100 net to upgrade, which an insanely good deal.

Edit...only giving me $25 for s10 trade-in now on my 55+ plan.
I want to go to Costco to see if I can do the ordering there for the $35 DCC fee waiver & $75 GC but someone mentioned simple choice plan is not eligible in their system. Can someone who has a SC plan confirm they are able to do it? Trying to save me a trip, if it can't be done there I'll do the app
