Add the phone, then it will suggest accessories you have to scroll down a bit and add them. It wasn't working for me at first, but it eventually did. I had to use the website.

Practically every phone that's 'official MSRP' is over $300 will work perfectly fine for regular apps, most games, social media and basic phone functions like photos calls texts. As long as the phone you're looking at is recent year (this year or last).

It comes down to if you want 'the best' camera or fancy built into operating system A.I. assistant or enough internal specs to play even the best mobile games.

I'll typically buy 'free with service' Motorola phones because they're great for my needs. They'll last 3/4 years before lack of OS updates and falling behind internals start causing issues.

Buying Samsung, Apple or Pixel you should be good for 5 years. The phone will get regular security updates and OS updates so that you shouldn't have a problem until year 6/7.

If you don't want to spend this amount? You could always get Motorola or Samsung budget device for under $150 (buying month or two of service & waiting for unlock)

So it still shows up as a monthly bill. I called T-Mobile and they said it would be removed when the new phones are activated.

Just read the fine print of only 1 earbud discount per account and 4 phone discount per account.

The white ones are on sale at Walmart for $77. You still get the $100 shop card from Costco if you do this at the T-Mobile kiosk. plus there's no $35 activation fee.

Does anyone think the pixel buds A will come back in stock, or if it'll be possible to get them when ordering through Costco?

Motorola phones look great but are laggy. Not worth the headache.

Can anyone take an informed guess as to when this deal might end? I may buy a trade-in phone and have it shipped and am hoping this lasts another day or two at a minimum.

Also, if opting to do this in a Sam's Club or Costco, do you have to provide the trade-in phone or the devices IMEI on the spot or can you ship it later?
