Anyone know what device gets the full $250 trade in credit?
Apple Watch Ultra gets 225 and Ultra gets 300$ trade-in credit
And if you scroll down to the * note, it says: "*Google Fi phone plan not required. No changes to your current phone number or plan required."
I see. Thanks for letting me know. I noticed that the Galaxy watch 6 classic also gets the $250 credit. This deals seems to be better than Samsung since you get a $100 GC plus the 2 years of free service.

So if I am out running and work calls me, I can't talk with them. Interesting choice on their end to limit this plan to texting and data only.
I wonder if I can install Google Voice on the watch and have a voice call via VOIP from the watch over LTE? Ok, looked it up, no official google voice app for samsung watches. Apparently some have sideloaded it, but I'm not interested in that.
AI search says this: "While there isn't a dedicated Google Voice app for Wear OS on Samsung watches, you can still use Google Assistant to manage calls and messages related to your Google Voice number indirectly."
I wonder if that would work. It seems like too many hoops to jump through.
This looks like the Galaxy Watch Ultra right? I'm just not really a fan of the look, and I'm probably going to keep holding onto my Watch 6 classic.
