Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra from T-Mobile for $199.99 with 24 months Magenta Max service

$199.99

I've read that my fellow SD-ers don't care for carrier promotions. Okay, but this one is good.

I've been on T-Mobile for years, and I've had good experience with them, although YMMV. If you're on their Magenta Max plan, as I am, or are willing to switch to that plan, here's the deal:

$1,379.99 Galaxy S23 Ultra, 512GB, full price
(180.00) Samsung's current promo of 512GB for the price of 256GB
-------------
$1,199.99 T-Mo's price for the phone
(1,000.00) T-Mo's current trade-in promotion for my Galaxy S21+ 5G
-------------
199.99 which must be paid in 24 monthly instalments of $8.34
========

Older phones get less than $1,000 trade-in.

Depending on your state, you'll have to pay tax on $1,199.99 up front. Also, T-Mo charges a $35 upgrade fee (taxable) which is pure BS, so I'm going to try to get it back.

Caveats:
1- Have to be okay with a carrier-locked phone, at least until it's paid for.
2- Have to be okay with T-Mobile. (Verizon has a similar deal.)
3- Have to be on their Magenta Max plan. I'm on MM 55+. (Membership has its privileges. Smilie)
4- Only recent phones qualify for $1,000 trade-in.

And also this ...

5- Have to be okay with the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Not everyone is impressed by it.

TBH, I don't really need all that the S23 Ultra offers, but for $200, WTH. And it will assure me of a top-dollar trade-in for the next phone.

Caveat #6: the $1000 credit is distributed across *3 years*. (edit: 2 years if you can get that) This means you have to keep the phone for 24/36 months in order to get the full $1000 credit ($27.78/mo for 36 months, or $41.67/mo for 24 months)

OP MUST add "with 24 months Magenta Max service" to the title.

My promotion is over 24 months, and yes, I have to keep the phone for 24 months, but I would do that anyway.

Like most of TMobile deals i don't like this one. Forcing you to switch to a higher price plan in order to get a discounted phone is for their benefit, not ours. So i will continue to ignore T-Mobile deals such as this one.

Do the same deal on samsung.com, you'll get Samsung credits on top of this. You can select T-Mobile financing on Magenta Max, everything happens through T-Mobile including trade in. You just get credits on top of this

Look friends ... if you don't like T-Mo, don't like Magenta Max, don't like keeping a phone for 24 months ... that's fine. In that case, my post is not intended for you, and you don't have to reply. But I didn't post anything dishonest or misleading or insulting, so I haven't earned the hate.

I don't think this is the case. The S23 Ultra deal says 24 months. Other phones have 36 months, like the Z Fold 4. I don't mind 2 year deals, but that is my limit.

Anyone having issue where pre ordering from? Samsung at the tmobile verification would error stating the account type was not supported on samsung.com? Tmobile and Samsung both cannot figure out way I'm getting the error and they are pointing fingers at each other.
