I currently have cricket. Does anyone know if I move my lines to AT&T and then shortly after port them into T-mobile, will I qualify for $250 BYOD?

Also, can the $250 be combined with the $100 Costco offer?
Why you want to move to Att and the Tmobile? Why not directly move to Tmobile?

Cricket is eligible, have a chat with rep, they will check and confirm....

on this page, just under the deal info

also, try chatting with a rep like tryCatchDealExcption sugggested. there has been a mixed response from reps whether a port-in from MVNOs qualify or not.

if you are moving to an existing att account, it's easy. but if you plan to open a new account, then you might miss this deal. in this case it's better to directly move to tmobile after getting a rep add notes on your account.

Anyone know if porting in from H2O is eligible for this rebate? I talked to a customer care rep on phone and another one in fb messenger and both of them quoted terms and conditions and said no. Terms and conditions say att, verizon, cellular etc no small carriers.

Also to add, I tried to move my less than a week old visible number (ported from GV) and T-mobile still saw it as a google number. On freecarrier though, it was showing as verizon. So their data refresh times might have a lag.

When I receive the sim card, can I port in numbers online?

Thank you
No you cannot do it online. You should call this number 877-789-3106 or go to store.

Call will be very quick, it took me 10 min to complete the 4 number port in process.

The Cricket eligibility seems to be getting mixed opinions, at least as of a few days ago. Many people state MVNOs are not qualified for the deal, but I wasn't able to find this in the rebate terms.

The chat agent I used to sign up with TMO stated Cricket qualified, but a second chat agent I spoke with later said Cricket wouldn't qualify...

So the question is, do you take a chance and try to port from Cricket, or do you port to ATT first and then quickly port to Cricket afterwards? And if you port to ATT first and port out quickly, can this being done without being charged for service?

Also, how long does it take to confirm if the $250 BYOD rebate was approved? I have five lines. Thinking I could do one tonight (Just received SIMs today) and see if it gets approved to determine if I do the others. If it doesn't get approved, then I could port the other four lines to ATT first.

Another page from Sprint's playbook. Hopefully T-mo won't copy Sprint's practice of not paying out referral bonuses, or denying GCs because you got referral bonus for the line.
​IF anyone has an extra Insider Discount Type 1 Please PM me. I plan on hopping on Tmobile in the long run so that bonuses will really make a difference. I appreciate all of this community's help with this deal.

att only charges for the no of days the line is active(pro-rated) on the current plan plus taxes. sim is free.

processing time for rebate is 6-8 weeks. so you may have to decide quickly about the other 4 lines

hi, i know it's pretty late now.. but if i just get a type-1 code.
can i do following:
1. go ebay get the 4 att port in number
2. enter one of att to pre-register the type-1 code
3. then go to tmobile store to go a new account (Magneta 4 lines for $140 before hook up discount, $112 after discount).
**the reason to go to tmo store so that i can buy/get the sim there and do the port all at once.
**I dont think i got enough time to order sim online, and get it ship to me before 9/30 which the deal end on 0ct/1, right?

I really appreciated and rep for your time to answer my questions.
