Pay the sales tax plus a residual, in my case 63 cents per month.

I'd suggest that to you and your son the Pixel 9a will physically feel cheaper (as in, more plastic) than either of your current devices. However, you should both find that functionally your changes are either neutral or upgrades. Of course, both of you will have some adjusting to do coming from your respective devices to the stock Android UI.

Most notably, the aforementioned S9 should produce far better quality photos than what any REVVL (or other lowest-cost device) can capture... then again, camera quality on cell phones isn't a priority for every buyer.
The REVVL 8 CPU+Memory specifications directly compare with something like the Samsung A36. However, the A36 also incorporates an AMOLED screen (something Samsung has recently implemented across the entire A-series line). Luckily, if getting an improved screen is your only concenr the REVVL 8 Pro has a comparable offer from TMO where any plan can get the REVVL 8 Pro for under $50. Unfortunately, the REVVL 8 Pro won't fix any of the issues with camera output.
However, the Pixel 9a is currently available for under $300 from TMO and the models qualifying for a $250 credit are pretty low-end (although said devices would have to be functioning):
Apple iPhone: 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus, X, XR, XS, XS Max, 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, 12 mini, 12, SE2, SE3
Samsung Galaxy: S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+, S7, S7 Edge, S7 Active, S7 edge duo, S8, S8+, S8 Active, S9, S9+, Note8, A14 5G, A15 5G, A21, A23, A32, A32 5G, A35, A51, A51 5G, A52, A52 5G, A53 5G, A54 5G, A71, A71 5G, Z Fold, Z Fold2, Z Flip, Z Flip 5G
OnePlus: 7 Pro 5G, 7T Pro, 8T, 8T+ 5G, 8, 8 Pro5G, 9 5G, 10T 5G
Google Pixel: 4, 4a, 4a 5G, 4XL, 5a 5G, 6a, 7a, 8a
LG: V60 ThinQ
Moto: razr 2024, razr 40 5G, razr 40 Ultra, Edge 5G 2022, Edge 5G 2023, Edge 5G 2024
Ultimately, if you had any ability to shop the Pixel 9a trade-in deal it would be the one to get for those who actually need a daily driver. For reasonable camera quality consider any most any reasonably recent model Pixel, iPhone, or Samsung Galaxy S-series.
About the biggest concern I have regarding these new deals is T-Mobile's new policy limiting pre-payment. Though I have previously run multiple device payments on a single line, I worry that the new policy limiting pre-payment may also hinder my future ability to run concurrent device upgrade promotions on the same line. Perhaps someone has had recent experience with concurrent device promos on a single line ever since TMO rolled out the prepayment restriction?
Good luck!

For some a major reason to stay up to date on these promotions is to maintain residual value for future trades. However, the REVVL does nothing in this consideration.
Good luck!

The call took 50 minutes. It probably would have been better to just pay the $35 activation and go through the T-Life app.
edit: I received a text from T-Mobile indicating that I have credits on my account, so now I can rest assured that I got the promotion.

My S9 was on a backup line (former land line) ported in as a free line on a past T Mobile promotion. The phone was very slow functioning, even for text and reading emails. It had a cracked screen, which prevented me from most trade in programs.
My plan is the ONE plan, which also is rarely offered trade in deals.
Thus, for my situation, this is a good deal. The Revvl8 should have 5 years of updates, and is blindingly fast compared to the aging S9. The pictures are decent, clearly not as good as the S9.
My due diligence found this review https://medium.com/@jackolmsted/t...73bc757ee4 which sold the deal for me.
As noted elsewhere, and in the review, assuming I get the Costco gift card, this is a money making deal.
update: I guess because I have simple choices plan.
