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.
The NXTPAPER display can reduce glare because it uses a matte etched glass surface.
The phone supports dual physical SIMs plus eSIM, which helps with flexible line setups.
The trade-in promo can waive the $35 device connection fee when purchased through the Costco T-Mobile process.
Costco upgrades can include a $100 Costco digital shop card after the monthly payment plan upgrade.
Free-line eligibility and trade-in requirements can be inconsistent, including IMEI retrieval issues that can cause rejections.
T-Mobile satellite messaging may not work on this phone, even though T-Mobile lists compatibility.
The NXTPAPER branding is actually an LCD matte screen rather than true e-paper.
Promo credits may stop if the device is paid off early, which can affect the 24-month bill-credit plan.

Smartphone Promo with Trade (ID260086)Finally found some old iPhone 4's that had imei's
Traded those in. Agent said the phones are currently on back order
I did this on 2 of my free lines on simple choice.
Rep stated you could do 4 of these upgrades. I might do another 2 but kind of want to save it in case there is a future iPhone deal
