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

I thought the $60 service is usually for new users/subscriber which most of the takers of this deal aren't?
Thanks for #5. I had the Fi app installed on my GP3aXL. Once installed, can't remove it. I cleared the data and disabled the app. I also removed the google account from the phone that will be used to purchase the device.
I signed up for a new Fi account on the Flex plan using the $60 promo code mentioned in the original post and activated it on my existing S23 Ultra via eSIM. My primary line (US Mobile) is on a physical SIM in the same phone.
After activation, I saw the $650 offer and went ahead and ordered the device. I didn't notice the recommendation to wait until the first billing cycle until after placing the order, so I'm hoping that doesn't cause any issues.
Once the $60 credit countdown hits zero (30 days from today), I plan to uninstall Fi from the S23U and remove the eSIM. I'll then install Fi and set up the eSIM on the S26U. After waiting a day, I'll move my primary carrier's physical SIM over to the S26U and keep Fi on eSIM. I'll set the psim as primary for data and everything else although I don't plan on using Fi for anything.
I'll wait the full 120 days until the device promo countdown reaches zero, then pause the Fi account and continue pausing it every 90 days after that.
What if my main esim is also with Google Fi? Can I use my main Google Fi esim on the S26 Ultra after I delete the promo esim? Or will that screw up the promo?
