These are the worst preorder trade-in deals ever. How dare Samsung try forcing us to sign contracts for 36 months with carriers to get the best deals. Gen Mill and Gen Z hate contracts. People need to boycott till they drop the prices for unlocked trade. For the previous s22 and fold and flip 4 models. CLEARLY SOME PEOPLE ARE BRAINWASHED STILL GETTING THEM. Sadly looking for clout as well. How pathetic.

I've been trying for three hours to pre-order the S23 Ultra for T-Mobile at the Samsung ite, and I can't do it. The Samsung selection process (phone, add-ons) works fine, but once it connects to T-Mobile and I enter trade-in info and choose my existing phone number and plan, I get a constant "Something went wrong. Please try again later" message. In another window where I tried again, I get a message saying they can't validate my trade-in IMEI with T-Mobile, so I didn't even get as far on that effort as on the original one. I've tried probably 50 times on two different browsers, with the same results.

I called in to Samsung after about an hour, and after a repeated, lengthy hold after *each* individual piece of information she asked me for, the agent said the product is out of stock.

I have screen captures of all the offer selections I made at the Samsung site, so I just hope they will honor them later--assuming I can ever get my order through.

To add insult to injury, I didn't even get the email honoring my pre-order reserve until 3 hours into this process--and I got the same results with that link.

A complete debacle, at least as far as the reserved pre-order co-offer process with T-Mobile is concerned.

I don't know if you're using Chome , but is was the same problem last year while using the Chrome browser. I used the Samsung browser and everything went smoothly.

I've been trying both Chrome and Edge on my desktop and Edge on my Android all day. But I'll try the stock Samsung browser.

Nope - no luck. Same result on stock browser. I don't think the browser is the problem. I think it's the interface between Samsung and T-Mobile, because the hang happens when Samsung tries to verify my current phone's T-Mobile status.

The trade in values weren't that great. I did not like the carrier trade in option either because T-Mobile is basically making you get a magenta max plan for 85 bucks or more when I pay 55 with them.

Exactly my feelings and situation right now. Pathetic game by Samsung. I was waiting all these days for the launch and willingness to upgrade. With just $500 for my s22u this doesn't make a sense at all to switch. S22u is so fast that any faster won't matter. It clicks good images too. With 700 plus taxes its not a worthy upgrade. Had it been around 350 usd i would have jumped into the wagon

I went on YouTube to this youtuber and he has a link to purchase the S23
It allows you to select independent of Samsungs group package promotion it also credits you a $150.00
So I caved and bought the S23ultra as did my husband
So we each got
$150.00 even though Samsung was tight on trade-in values
