Can someone explain how this works please?

We have three lines , two of which was upgraded to Iphone XR last year May 2019 (two years contract) and have third line Iphone 7 which is not in contract. Its a family plan with three lines.

Are we eligible for this offer to trade in iphone xr and get the iphone 12 ?

TIA

No, $900 is not the trade-in value. It is the price of iphone XS.

Does this mean if you're an existing customer you have to be paying a minimum of $75/mo on an unlimited plan to be Eligible?

The phone you buy will be locked when taking this route.

If we use this promotion/pay off the phone installments to unlock the phone, so we can have an unlocked phone for international sims while traveling, do we still continue to receive the credits for 30 months?

If you want to upgrade to a 128 GB model, you'd only pay just short of $2/mo.

So what's the trade in values of the phones?

Edit: I don't see trade in values anywhere. They do say if the phone is eligible for trade in and the value is more than $35, you automatically get at least $350. Of course AT&T makes this whole process confusing while Apple simply tells you how much your device is worth right away.

You can only trade in the XRs if they are paid off. Your best bet would be to find a deal on a working iphone 8, and use that for the trade in on the account out of contract.

30 months is too much! The next update or the update after that would be pretty drastic, and surely they gonna get rid of that notch. Committing for 30 months is a lot!

Sprint used to have similar deals, but only for 18 months.

In summary, the deal works as below:

$30 activation / upgrade fee
$75 x 30 months + taxes = $2250 + taxes

Total will be $2280 + taxes and under contract for 30 months + trade in iphone of 8 or greater = iphone 12 (64 GB) + 30 months of service.
