- The device must have been active on the T‑Mobile network for at least 40 days on the requesting line.
- If the device was financed or leased through T‑Mobile then all payments must be satisfied and the device must be paid in full.
- If the device is associated with a canceled account, then the account balance must be zero.
- T‑Mobile may request proof of purchase or additional information in its discretion and certain other exceptions may apply.
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.

You will be paying $200 more and since it's more expensive you will also pay about $20 more in taxes. I doubt your phone will be worth 200 more than a regular one when you decide to sell it.
But hey, it's all speculation and I'm no market analyst lol
Ah OK, I see. Yeah if they are the same price I'd say the bigger screen on the XL is more desirable for resale.
Reason I ask is if I order my swappa phone now I might not get the IMEI in time to use to make the order originally, so I might just fill it in with my actual Pixel 6 (with a broken screen) in the meantime.

Others have posted that you can call them and get the IMEI changed after the fact and that as long as you're sending in the same model phone in the same condition as what you stated then you'll be fine. Personally, I wouldn't chance it. I wouldn't want to give them any excuse to decline the trade-in and negate the deal.
YMMV...

Other than size, its a no brainer since the XL is $200 off right now making it the same price as the Pro regular but has faster wired charging and a larger battery (and obviously larger screen).
