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

Do I just install the Fi app on the new phone and it does everything for me or should I delete the Fi app on the old phone and ESIM first?

So, Here what it needed to be done when you had an older non active account and you activated to take advantage of this offer.
- I had one non active account which I took advantage of s24 last year.
- With that account, I had activated on 02/02 on same s24 via eSim.
- Promotion showed up same day but waited 24 hrs to order the s25U phone.
- Phone came on 02/06.
- Before turn on new phone, got in chat with support and asked:
I have my google fi service on my older phone via esim.. i got new phone s25 ultra with promotion.. i want to transfer my google fi number to new phone and activate my new phone without loosing my promotion.. can you please help?
- He started with below steps:
- Delete e-sim from your old device. (VERY IMPORTANT. He made sure couple of times if I had deleted or not)
- Once deleted it, install google fi app with same Google account in your new device s25U and then open the app and activate e-sim in new device.
- During that process, it will ask: "fi service is associated with a diffn number.. move your number to this phone." ---> select Move number.
- Once done, your number will transfer.
- It was showing 120 days count on 02/07 and as of today 02/09, when i checked it is showing 118 days..
The key part was
eSim needs to be deleted from older device before you activate on newer device.
I recommend that you active new phone with support guy to make sure he understands that you would like to take advantage of this promotion.
My plan is to wait for couple of more days and factory reset s25U to use with other provider. Need to look at if at that point counter still goes down daily.
UPDATE:
Did factory reset s25U after deleting fi eSim. After that started to use that phone with other provider. Fi saving day counter is still going down on daily basis.
Could be that they didn't wait at least 24hrs before ordering the phone.
Does your friend's referal counter also counting down?
My son hasn't gotten an error message after shipping. He also ordered 1 day after activating his new Fi service.
