Tmobile trade-in these days is useless. Go5G may get some benefits but if we can wait a little Samsung gives better price than TMobile. You will get it for less than $700 for Ultra without any trades unlocked.

24 months is better than 36 months other carries do now. However, I am absolutely sure I'll stay with them for 2 years when I have unlimited everything on 7 lines for $130/mo, not getting fleeced at all.

I would keep in mind that since the S23 series, Samsung deals haven't been as good. I kept track of S24U and even 2 weeks ago, it was on the FP of SD for ~$770.

https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/fp/1049727

In October 2024, there was a "popular" deal on SD for the regular S24 via Amazon and it was still $600:

https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/fp/1007514

The best deals on the Samsung website are for the Ultra and with EDU, so not everyone will qualify. The phone in OPs post is the regular S25.

Unless Samsung does something drastically different from the last 2 releases, I don't think the price will drop that much. It seems like they're trying more and more each year to be comparable to Apple in the US, which means keeping their prices at a "premium" level.

The days of upgrading at release for $100-$200 + freebies seem to be over, which is a huge bummer.

Yes, I was able to do this a few days ago, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. The oldest phone for the full credit is the S10, which I'm probably never giving up. My S21 FE qualifies though so I'm still debating. Nothing on the S25 seems worth the extra money, so I can wait for better deals.

Honestly I have no idea, but it says the $500 trade-in is good for most plans. An easy way to check is in your t-mobile account. You should be able to just click on the upgrade button and see the promos.

Good to hear it works on that plan. I wouldn't hold my breath for better deals. I've been wanting to upgrade our S21 and S22 for years and it seems like the deals have been pretty horrible. The sweet spot on getting deals (without a new line) seems to be during the pre-order period or right before the next phone comes out (so its better just to wait for the next pre-order). Its annoying that this deal comes as monthly credits, but for under $270, I think it's unlikely to get much better without the more expensive plans. The S10 or S21FE are probably worth next to nothing at this point, so I think it's a no brainer. Also battery life on a S10 at this point has go to be horrendous, doesn't seem worth keeping unless its always plugged in.

Yes I think this is the answer. Got to go through tmobile in some way. Between going thru tmobile or having a better trade in on Samsung site. Let's see what I can muster. Thanks

I might be doing it wrong but I followed the steps and got $500 off from T-Mobile and an additional $60 for being a student, but didn't see a $50 for accessories. The end total came to $439.

Mine says can't service the plan and to call T-Mobile. I was planning to upgrade, but TMO charges tax on full amount and I'm not coughing up extra $50 for it

I know this is kind of annoying, but I get such a ridiculous deal on T-mobile that there's basically zero chance I switch unless they force us to change plans (which would negate any kind of contract anyways).
