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. 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 golden rule!!!!!!! Once you activate Google Fi on your new phone (whether via eSIM or a physical SIM), do not move that SIM to another device until the promo period ends. Doing so will immediately void your promotion, and you'll likely be charged the full price of the phone.
How to use Dual SIMs properly:
You can still use two different carriers at the same time without losing your deal. For example:
- Setup A: Use a physical SIM from another carrier + Google Fi on eSIM.
- Setup B: Use Google Fi on a physical SIM + another carrier on eSIM.
As long as the Google Fi service stays active on that specific phone, you are free to use a second line from any other carrier for your data or calls.Or if not taking part of any promotions you are free to do whatever floats your boat since you have no promos to void & all phones come factory unlocked.

How would I go about activating this phone on eSIM? Is there an option in the FI app?

this seems to be the best deal even if you don't have one of the two phone plans the 450 off is still decent.

After the counter shows the count down, you remove the physical SIM and reset the device so that u can use the device with your carrier? Thanks.
