Z Fold8 Ultra with Experience Beyond gets up to $1,900 off, yet you're paying $2,400+ to end up in a 2 year agreement and with a 2 year old phone in the end!
Am I missing the point of where's the deal in this?

Does anyone know if tmobile can tell you, before you go through with the purchase, what condition tmobile will say your trade in phone is?

I worry tmobile will later say the condition is worse after the transaction, when you are stuck, and assess additional fees. At that point you have no way to refuse.

Quote from sinik View quoted comment :
"In America" retail sales tax is imposed at the state and local level, not by the federal government. Ie what you said isn't true in every state.

Regardless, the question was whether sales tax is charged on the pre-discount or post-discount price, and that too varies.
I wouldn't engage with that user, the 1488 in their name likely isn't a coincidental number choice unfortunately

You can do a store drop off and if they refuse you can return the new device. You should also take it in to confirm that they will accept them before ordering.

You can put an unlocked device or locked T-Mobile device on the existing line. However, all new devices sold by T-Mobile are locked to T-Mobile until the device is paid off in full.

People are really still doing post paid in 2026? Damn... Y'all getting FLEECED if you don't have a hefty corporate discount.
Maybe reserve comments for topics about which you are knowledgeable. Many here on grandfathered plans with free lines pay significantly less on postpaid.

Nobody is paying "significantly less" on post paid when the majority of prepaid users are paying around $20/mo per line. Often even less if they pay annually.

Maybe YOU should reserve comments for topics about which you are knowledgable...

You're clueless. Thousands of customers on grandfathered plans have been paying significantly less for years. I know because I have been a T-Mobile customer for 10 years. See T-Mobile Reddit if you care to actually educate yourself rather than post nonsense here.

+1 this as well for grandfathered plans like Simple Choice. In the past few years, T-Mobile has been forcing Simple Choice customers out of their plan by increasing their per line costs by a fair amount. It definitely makes me think twice about locking myself into another 2 years via credits which I would lose if I decide to not continue with T-Mobile -- it's essentially the new 2 year contract via phone credits.
i think its worse than 2 yr contracts. at least with that you knew how much your plan was going to cost for 2 yrs. with the new way you are in the hook for $2000 phone on a plan that can go up anytime they greedy bastards need "share holder value"

I see on T-life app for upgrade on go5g plus plan for $1100 max switching to experience beyond or more with trade in on pixel 10 pro xl. I don't see an option for $1900 off. What am I missing?

Quote from siberstorm27 View quoted comment :
I don't want to be that guy but I really would not buy any of the new foldables from Samsung this year simply because they have switched to silicon carbon batteries. The battery size increase is trivial but the potential for this unproven tech to fail spectacularly is high. There's a reason why only Chinese phones use this and no one else. The silicon carbon anode can swell far more than the traditional lithium one and the number of charging cycles is reduced, meaning it doesn't last as long after a year. Samsung also screwed up big time with their S26 Ultra and its subpar privacy screen. This year is full of deal breaking decisions as far as I'm concerned. I was also kind of pumped for the squat fold 8, but after a few hands on videos, it's clearly just a regular fold with the top cut off. The interface looks terrible no matter the app and the real estate isn't even wider than the regular fold for videos.
Lots of contrary opinions citing the latest SiC batteries are superior... Just saying
