Still on the TMobile One plan. Not worth it to upgrade the plan if you don't change phones every year
Aha. Ok. I think best buy is best bet then. 950 trade in for 24 ultra and 200 BB gift card. Net outlay would be about 150 plus tax

That's tmobile for the last 5 years at minimum
I finally found a T-Mo rep who would activate their $15. prepaid plan with unlimited talk/text and 5GB of data. Every rep I spoke to (5) said they could not find the plan and pushed me to their other postpaid plans. I ordered it online to get the actual sim which was free.

This was a good deal for me. I ordered directly on Samsung.com to maximize savings. S25 Ultra 512GB (Free upgrade) $65 discount for Samsung Workplace Offers Galaxy Buds 3 Pro for $17.99 (with $50 extra preorder credit) Total = $1252.98 + $112.77 tax = $1365.75 - $1000 in trade in and bill credits So $365.75 total to upgrade from the S24 (not ultra) to S25U 512GB w/ Galaxy Buds 3 Pro I also activated 18% capital one cashback. Not sure if this will come through or not, but if it does it would be about $220 in cashback, which would make this pretty slick.
How are you able to get S25 ultra price at 1252.98, and I am getting only 700 trade in credits for S24+. How did you get $1000 trade in credits.
Galaxy S25 Ultra $1,419.99
Unlocked | 512GB | Titanium Silverblue

- $700.00
$130 Instant Samsung credit (Includes $50 reserve credit)

Where is this 18% cb. All i see is 2.5%


also if you are buying on tmobile credit, all you are paying today is tax and whatever excess is left for buds. how are you calculating 220 cash back?

It's through Cap1 shopping, not credit card offers

You're correct, my out of pocket was only the tax and like $17. I wasn't sure if the cashback would work, but it did. Just got confirmation on $225 cashback, so based on the full price.

Nice. Makes it a steal.

can you confirm if it says upto 18% off on C1 shopping? when. i look for samsung it says 2.5% but then there is another place where it mentions upto 18%.

guess i can also try placing the order and cancel if cashback doesnt show up.

It might only be through the C1 browser extension.

Current TMo One Military plan w/2 lines here - pay $89/Mo with Netflix upgrade. Currently have S21 and S21 Ultra and looking to go S25 Ultras. Staying on our One plan, we get $500 with T-Mobile offer in Samsung app, or $1000 T-Mobile offer in Samsung app with Go5G Plus/Next. $30 more for plus and $50 more for Next per month. So, $720 more over 2 years with Go5G Plus. But if we stay on One, we pay $1000 more over 2 years for the phones.

If we upgrade again within 2y9mo, we'll be better with the new plan. We usually go 3-4 years before upgrading, but a new plan may force our hand.

What say you, slick dealers?

Also looking at using the $130 credit for new watches, and trade current watches for rings. Any bundle deals out there for phone, watch, and ring trading a phone and watch?

They are discounted when you purchase together with the phone, then there's an $80 accessory credit + $50 accessory credit (for preorder). So after the $130 credit they were only $17

Not nearly as good of a deal, but I noticed that those of us on legacy magenta plans qualify for $500 trade ins. $300 for an S25 (12.50/month) isn't awful for trading in a galaxy S21 (4 year old phone). Anyone know of a better deal for people without Go5G?

ah! Just saw your comment! Thanks for that. Didn't realize you could get the $500 tmobile deal through samsung. This brings the total cost of the galaxy s25 down even farther and the 256 upgrade is free on top of it! Also I assume I get the $50 preorder discount which I still need to figure out. Should bring down the total price to around 250 with a S21 trade in. That's pretty slick!

T-Mobile tip: to get the full $1000 trade-in, I bit the bullet and changed plans from One Military to Go5G Plus Military ($80 to $110 for 2 lines). The update was going to take effect on the next billing cycle, but when I logged in to T-Mobile in the Shop Samsung app, it still said I was on One. I had to chat with T-Mo to get them to put the new plan in effect immediately. But then, I had to uninstall Shop Samsung and reinstall it to get it to bring up the login screen again. Then I could check out with the full $1k. Getting the S25U with smart watches and plan to use current smart watches for a ring trade in.
