Deal Details
This is an older model (2024 instead of 2025), but I had a Samsung Galaxy S10 that I had previously purchased for another deal that didn't pan out, so I used it to get the Motorola Razr 2024. The Razr 2024 is listed as $500 on T-Mobile, and all I had to pay after providing the Galaxy S10 IMEI was the tax, which was $38.75 for me in SoCal.

You can see the promo by going to this link:
https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-pho...-razr-2024
Then click on the "See 3 promotions" link, and it's the 3rd one on the list: Get up to $500 off with trade.

Simple Choice, which is the phone plan I'm on, and which hardly ever gets good promotions from T-Mobile anymore, qualifies

If you're a Costco member, make sure to call the T-Mobile Costco line to do the upgrade so you can have the $35 activation fee waived and get $100 Costco card per line upgraded.

https://www.costco.com/t-mobile-b...wcase.html

The final breakdown of this deal (for me):
Samsung Galxy S10: $130
Taxes: $38.75
Costco cash card: -$100
$68.75 out the door for a Razr 2024.

i logged in and checked the link - doesnt seem like Essentials qualifies. I think I will pull the trigger and move to VZ - TMO phone deals are pretty barren for less than top tier plans...

Don't think it is for all SC plans. I am on SC family and the $500 off is only when adding a new line.

same here

Unlocks after 2 years, you can cancel after the 1st month but you'll see a bill for the remainder of the phone value. This is for T-Mobile postpaid, you're probably looking for prepaid deals.

Try calling in instead of trying to do it online. The online system didn't give me the $500 off but calling into the Costco T-Mobile line, I was eligible.

Was it bill in credits? And you were able to upgrade rather than add a line?

I have a S21 FE but when I turn it on, it shows a big white line across the screen from top to bottom. Will that be eligible for trade in. It looks like most S21 FE had this problem of white line. Will T-Mobile accept it.

Correct. Since I did the upgrade through the Costco T-Mobile line, I'm eligible to receive a $100 Costco shop card after about 2 months.

We recently quit TMO. We got our final bill, which reflected a credit on the canceled account. They charged the full amount (with autopay), then pro-rated the amount due, and gave themselves an interest-free loan for the difference. They took their time about mailing (snail mail) the final bill, never sending a text, an email- just a letter. I called them, and surprisingly quickly talked to someone who said they'd refund back to the payment account. It's too soon to tell if that was actually initiated.

If you're switching to T-Mobile- you are not upgrading. We escaped them because of rip-off behavior and the fact that their experts are nearly always wrong. Not sure if most of their experts are poorly trained, poorly informed, or just scammers out to make commission.

T-Mobile did become Sprint. Too many billing errors false promises to sell phones etc. Beware.

Yes, phone must be paid off and at least 40 days of on-network use. Obviously with the bill credits, it'll take 2yrs to pay off and if you pay it off early, you lose the bill credits.
