For those who are new to Fi, steps to become an existing user and
1. Open an account with flexible plan. Use unmentionable code from existing user for $60 credit.
2. Just to be safe, wait for the first bill to be generated before ordering the phone. This will take couple of days. At the very least wait for a day but I suggest waiting for the first bill generation.
3. Once the phone is shipped you need to activate the phone within 30 days. At this point another counter for new user r**f credit is also running down from 30 days. I strongly suggest you wait for that counter to hit zero before you activate the phone. All the counters will be shown on FI app-billing-Track FI saving and instant rebate.
4. Once the phone is activated on FI by downloading the FI app, you should wait for a day for the counter to go down by 1. At this point you can disable/remove the eSIM and use your current provider.5. At no point during 120 days move the FI SIM to another phone (i.e. do not install FI app on any other phone and log into this FI account). Once the counter reaches 0 you can cancel the line or pause it for next deal.
The total cost will be $650 + $25 (plans cost per month including fees) * 5 - $60 = $715

Comes to like 17.5% in taxes when it should be 1/2 that.
New FI customers can have 512gb for $999
Samsung pricing is insane. Apple is final cheaper by a mile. Samung sales are nonstarters

1. Returning customers first need to purchase a Flexible plan only and apply the code. Activate the account with an eSIM; FI will provide you with a number. After that, you will see a $650 promo offer.
2. For new customers: buy a Flexible plan only without a device, apply the code, and activate with an eSIM. FI will provide you with a number. After that, you will see the promo; if not, then wait for 24 hours.
In both cases, don't wait for a physical SIM; it will take 2 to 3 days for delivery.
Happy to answer any questions if you have

Tried as a returning customer, who cancelled the service last year, referral code did not work. No option for eSim. Hence, did not order.
Then tried as a new customer. And it took referral code and eSim option. Once activated eSim, $650 promo came up.
I do have a physical SIM with the carrier I'm currently using. I'm wondering if i can activate the phone on the esim and then pause the services or do i need to use it on the esim? I'd like to use my primary carrier with the new phone

Thank you. I actually used to be a customer so i signed up for flex and am seeing the deal as existing customer. Is there a way when i get my new phone to use it with my current carrier instead of fi?
Ah ok, i was not aware there was a counter. This helps. Thank you very much
