OFFER ID R261 Smartphone Trade ID250462
1) Have or switch to a qualifying rate plan. Already a T-Mobile customer and not sure what plan you are on? Check here to see your current plan.
2) Purchase a new Google Pixel 10 128 GB on a monthly payment plan and pay the applicable sales tax on the pre-credit price at time of purchase; plus $35 device connection charge.
3) Trade in an eligible device in good condition:
For most of us, all we need to do is to upgrade a line and trade-in. This includes us on $10 or less lines. Again, test it out yourself online through your account.
1) Phone is locked to T-mobile until EIP is fully paid and 40 days of usage on a line. Your monthly device payments is net $0 because the RDC cancels out the EIP, if you qualified for R261. You will lose RDC if you pay off EIP early, so T-mobile basically locks you in for 2 years.
2) EIP financing is over 24 months. Reddit rumors are T-mobile is planning to move to 36 months, so get this while you can.
3) You can request short term temp unlocks a couple times a year for travel. If you do this then try to sell the phone as unlocked, you are scum.
4) You will be charged sales tax on full device value at checkout.
5) Multiple EIPs with unique promotions can be stacked on a single line, up to your financing limit of your account. This can be done online or in person (system automates it, but a rep may push back on it). So if you already have a line with another EIP with a different RDC promotion, you can stack R261 on it. But don't recommend stacking multiple R261 on a single line, that may cause problems.
6) Samsung S10's can be purchased through ebay for little over $100. Some sellers even sell qualified T-mobile S10 trade-ins for ~$120. Prices will go up as demand goes up.
7) Trade-ins just need to be in good condition and not be stolen / blacklisted. The specific criteria is in the online trade-in checker. Carrier locked is okay; stolen / password / blacklisted / google / apple locked will be rejected.
8) Costco is the best retail channel if you are a member. No $35 DCC fee, $100 costco giftcard for upgrading (limit 1 per line per year), and 90 days return policy vs 15 days everywhere else. Phone will be shipped to you from T-mobile.
9) You are strongly recommended to complete your trade-in at a T-mobile store (ideally, an Experience store). Trade-in is completed immediately, and once completed you are done. No waiting for shipping, no lost / damaged in shipping, no lost promotion due to failed evaulation.
If you have a Costco membership, DEFINITELY work this deal by calling the T-Mobile Costco number: 833-428-1765
You will save the $35 activation/connection fee + get a Costco Cash card. I have done the upgrade through this number 5 times and they've been gone through smoothly all 5 times. I got $630 total in monthly credits on an iPhone 16 Pro Max purchase, 3 Motorola Edge 2024s (by trading in older phones that I got for free), and $500 total in monthly credits for a Motorola Razr 2024. I shipped all the trade-in phones back. They are confirmed as received within 2 days of the tracking number showing "delivered".
Pro tip: Take a video of the phone you're shipping for trade-in. Showing that it powers up, and navigate to the IMEI screen to prove it has the same IMEI as what's you gave them over the phone. Once T-Mobile sends you the text that they received your trade-in, you can delete the video.
If you have a Pixel 8 or above, you should be buying a Samsung Galaxy S10 or S10e (around $100-125 on eBay or Swappa) for trade-in instead of trading in your Pixel. The Pixel 8 can be sold for ~$200 and Pixel 9 is more. Trading in anything that can be sold for $200 or more is leaving money on the table. I saw a commenter saying he traded in multiple Pixel 9s and that made my head hurt. If you're already on Pixel 9, you really don't have much of a reason to spend ~$100 (taxes on this deal) to upgrade, unless you really want the TSM manufactured Tensor G5.
The Pixel 10 purchased through this deal will be LOCKED to T-Mobile. The phone needs to be paid off to be unlocked. Paying off the balance of the EIP (Equipment Installment Plan) will forfeit the monthly credit. HOWEVER, T-Mobile has free texting and free (slow) data for many countries, and you can also request that the phone be temporarily unlocked for your trip.
This is NOT necessarily a good deal for folks looking to switch to T-Mobile, but is definitely a good deal for those of us on an older T-Mobile plan such as Simple Choice, Magenta, etc. For example, I'm on Simple Choice, with 9 lines and a 5G Home Internet service, and I'm paying about $205/month. I am not leaving T-Mobile anytime soon. Even if they start charging me $5 more per line, my plan is still cheaper than any other carrier, including the MVNOs.

Wow $220 trade-in for my 128GB Pixel 8 Pro. I know Pixels don't hold their value but that's crazy.
Possible you aren't going through all their steps. Their website is tedious. I was given like $115 for my Pixel 7 Pro and then the balance of the $800 trade in from the promotion. But it worked for me for the full $800 credit.
It's technically 24 months locked to t mobile to receive the bill credits
