Value Essential and Select Choice Plans Excluded. Other plans including Simple Choice, T-Mobile One, Magenta, 55+, and Military have all reported to work with these deals.



(EXPIRED 11/14) $200 Loyalty Rebate is ONLY stackable with the "Up to $500" Existing Lines offer (2020 Apple Trade P16), NOT the $850 New Line offer (2020 Apple Trade P15).

Photo of internal doc showing $200 offer requirements: https://imgur.com/YOGpTPM


For those waiting for Black Friday... Last year's $700 iPhone 11 deal required adding a line on a Magenta/One plan. If you don't have one of those plans, it may make sense to not wait.


If you upgrade online, many are seeing the promo credits on the trade-in screen, though some are not:

-----------------------------------------

Multiple Device Credit Promos:

Contrary to what some reps are telling people...

If you currently already have recurring device credits from another promo, you can take advantage of this deal, but PLEASE pay off your EIP first.
Once your EIP is paid, your line-level device credit will continue as an Account-Level credit, freeing your line up to take advantage of another EIP promo.

For more info on recurring device credits, see documentation at this link:

https://www.t-mobile.com/support/...irdheading

Quote :
You may have one Recurring Device Credits (RDC) promo per line at a time.
To get a new Recurring Device Credits (RDC) promo and keep your current credit, you must pay off the existing EIP first.
If you pay off your EIP early, you'll continue to receive the promised Recurring Device Credits (RDC) as an account-level credit through the remaining months of the promotional credit period (up to 24 or 36 months).

Additionally, you can't pay off an EIP by deducting the remaining Recurring Device Credits (RDC) installments from the remaining EIP balance. The full EIP balance must be paid to close out the plan.
-----------------------------------------
Just upgraded my iphone 6 plus on my 55+ plan. The EIP agreement shows $215 trade in value. 30 months term. So, yes, 55+ plan is eligible for trade in.

Let's hope Costco matches and the iPhone 7 or even the 6s are eligible
Yeah, I can see T-mobile scheming now on the terms:
Add 3 lines of Magenta only, requires 36 months of bill credits, trade-in iPhone X or higher and one major organ ...
Hoping for iPhone 12 Mini promos.

Quote from chaoss :
I don't fully understand your question.
Are you asking if you put your verizon SIM card first if it will unlock it?
I think that loophole has been over for a few years now.

edit, never mind, I think you are asking if once it is unlocked if you can use verizon service on it. I guess it would depend on apple and how they are making them

No, I meant if tmobile iphone is fully functional with verizon network
