Get one On Us with any trade on any rate plan. Among all the recent gen boring iPhone Samsung and Pixel phones with no unique design or features, this one seem like an interesting backup phone with its attempt of a unique fake E-Ink screen (LCD) with optimized matte screen surface and polarization for eye comfort.

This won't be for everyone but is an interesting device if you have lines that doesn't have EIP plans considering the promo allows you to trade in broken devices.
Same IP68 water resistance as flagships, the MediaTek 7300 is old but hard to complain at this MSRP for a carrier custom device. At 4xA78 + 4xA55 on TSMC N4, this is still a decently efficient chip for regular use, same CPU design as MediaTek 8200, 8100 just different clock speeds, CPU performance between Tensor G3 and G2 but more efficient thanks to TSMC N4. Oh and it has fingerprint sensor in power button.
Got this on T-Mobile One plan, traded in a cracked broken iPhone 4S. Do it at Sam's Club or Costco to get the extra $75 gift card and waived $35 fee.
* Also forgot to mention another good feature is this thing supports Dual Physical SIM or MicroSD expansion too. Second SIM slot is either SIM2 or MicroSD card. And the phone still supports eSIM as well, but you are limited to two Active SIM simultaneously so either 2 Physical SIM or 1 Physical 1 eSIM.
Someone also brought up T-Mobile satellite, I haven't tried this but T-Mobile website lists it as compatible with satellite messaging? YMMV

The TCL NXTPAPER 70 Pro stands out as a budget phone built for reading, with a 6.9 inch 120Hz matte LCD that cuts glare and feels closer to e paper than a glossy screen. The etched glass finish gets praise for manga and e reader use, and the phone also brings IP68 water resistance, dual physical SIM support, eSIM, and microSD expansion. The main caveats are that it is not a flagship replacement, T Mobile satellite messaging appears limited to messaging only, and the 40 day carrier lock can delay adding a second non T Mobile SIM. Support through March 2028 also feels short for the price.
Readers who want a large matte-screen phone for manga or e-books, because NXTPAPER reduces glare and feels good for reading.
People who want a dual-SIM phone with microSD expansion, because it supports two physical SIMs or one SIM plus storage and also works with eSIM.
Families wanting a simple daily-use Android for light reading, because it feels decent for everyday use and can serve as a burner device.
Commuters who need a phone with satellite messaging, because T-Mobile lists it as compatible for messaging when cellular coverage drops.
People who need a polished battery dashboard, because the phone can hide battery usage details after debloating.
Heavy app users who need full satellite data, because the satellite feature appears to be messaging only and may not support apps.
People expecting a flagship replacement, because it is a cost-effective midrange phone rather than a premium device.
Buyers who want long software support, because TCL lists security updates only through March 2028.

I should get it Monday/tuesday

Of course, one of the primary reasons to go this route is for trades in which the condition factors into the trade valuation (powers on, uncracked screen, etc.). Since this is an any-condition trade-in those concerns don't really come into play. However, using the local store could still be considerated an option for making sense of the return process.
Good luck!

Hopefully my rebates will come through for Costco. I didn't know there was a certain amount of days in between upgrades. I did an iPhone 17 upgrade on a line a few months ago so it might be an issue. I didn't know until the final steps when the rep said 12 months in between upgrades on that line
