This binds you to very expensive plans so there is tradeoff. For me going from visible $45 unlimited plan to $75-85 plan from major carriers made the trade in deal not worth it.

Does visible have any cons in your opinion?

When talking to the T-Mobile rep at the store, they explained to get the full $1100 trade in you have to be Experience Beyond plan. Otherwise the teirs of trade in value goes down per plan you have. I have a grandfathered plan and the best they could do was $500 (S23U) if I had the screen repaired through my device protection. Only "deal" I've seen at least for sign on/trade in bonus is switching to Google Fi for sign on bonus($300 + $700/24mths) + trade in ($205 S23U) but they show OOS for fold 7.

I did not get how the $1100 from Tmobile will get applied. To get the full $1100 on Tmobile you need to trade-in certain devices not the $50 ebay devices.

Edit: I selected an eligible phone and my plan is eligible for $1100 still the checkout price shows $1400 without the Tmobile trade-in. Looks like either Tmobile trade-in or Samsung Trade-in applied but not both. OP if you were able to replicate please share the steps.

Edit 2: I couldn't apply OP price, however, got a better price (hopefully Smilie

due to the bill credits and TMobile uncertainty). My final equipment plan came to $1564.99 with EDU program and $1045 bill credit. I am trading a Note 10+ for $55 value. My net excluding the taxes paid upfront comes to $520.
Contract price - $1564.99 = $65.21@24months
Bill credits - $1045 = $43.54@24months
Net monthly = $65.21 - $43.54 = $21.67 @24 months
So net paid excluding taxes and monthly Tmobile service, just for the device = $21.67 × 24 = $520.08

Please make sure to order using mobile app and one shot end to.end. When doing from computer I am missing the $100 promotion reserve credit. Also don't switch devices while ordering as well do not go back anytime during ordering process the app removes some credits and changes final price

Only issue with T-Mobile is that to insure the phone they want $25 a month. Samsung lets you insure it for $18 a month.

Can someone clarify? Are you buying through Samsung (and selecting tmobile as your carrier) or tmobile directly? If Samsung, how will you know what tmobile discount you are getting? Are you having to log into tmobile while on Samsung website?

When you get the phone you have 60 days to add samsung care +. They will ask you to record a 1 minute video of the physical part of the phone to check for damage or crack in order to get approve.

They're wrong. I have the GoPlus plan and I was able to get the $1100 off by buying directly through Samsung's website. Should also be getting 10% CB too.

Buying from Samsung / T-Mobile doesn't matter here since both phones would be locked to T-Mobile right?
