Ordering from Samsung

[Kilroy672]

After comparing T-Mobile and Samsung trade in promotions of $400, I can get the 23U 512 GB for far less monthly payments vs T-Mobile trade in prices. T-Mobile wants $51 a month for 256 gb and Samsung is $44 for the 512 GB a month., this is going through T-Mobile monthly EIP program. How does Samsung charge less than T-Mobile? Are there hidden fees that adds up the difference in price? I would go with the unlocked version for far cheaper but I want the T-Mobile features that the unlocked version doesn’t have.

Without looking at the current promotions, it's hard to say, When I pre-ordered my S23U, T-Mobile was cheaper overall due to the way the trade-in credit works.

Hope things work out for you as this device is well worth the money and time to get!

What kind of promotion did you have when you pre ordered?

Aren't carrier prices over 24-months while Samsung's is over 36-months?

This is from one of my previous posts, but here is the deal I took:

1. You get Instant Credit Trade Value (in my case, for Fold 3, $161)
2. If there is a Promotion (in this case $1000 trade), they take the instant credit (in my case the $161), and subtract that from the $1000 (again, for me $161-$1000=$839)
3. The remaining credit ($839) will be applied to your bill monthly over 24 months (for me, it's $34.96/mo)
4. The cost for the phone on Payment Plan is $50/mo. They take the credit ($34.96/mo) and subtract it from the monthly cost ($50-$34.96 = $15.04), so the monthly payment to buy the phone is $15.04/mo added to your bill over 24 months.

Yes, this is the case for me, so another reason I took the carrier deal. 1 less year of payments.

Plus with unlocked they take out all the TMobile features that I tend to use and enjoy.
