According to terms, looks like you can upgrade (no new line required) and trade in iPhone XR to get this free but tried online, it only gives $175 for iPhone XR for trade in value and no mention of remaining credit.

Any idea?
Thanks.

If you meet the terms you get the rest as a remaining credit, it's not actually part of the trade-in credit, but trade-in is required for the promotion. This is how tmobile always does it.

Thanks. I just recently did iPhone 12 mini trade in with iPhone 8 and it showed clearly about the credit ($90 for iphone 8 and rest will be applied in monthly credit ~$26/month). But in the Oneplus 8 case, nothing similar, just $175 straight for iPhone XR.

I did this on the last trade in for the S20 5G FE - No matter the device value, they will grant you the difference in a one time credit of the phones actual value, then whatever the difference is between that and the $350 or $750 is divided by 24 and allotted as a monthly credit.

And XR trade in value is only $150, but they'll give you the additional $600 over 24 bill cycles. If it was an XS Max 256 GB then you'd get $300 up front and $450 broken up over the 24. Make sense?

Why is this a bad deal? My s9 is old, no 5G smaller screen. The Oneplus sells for $500-650 on ebay... Galaxy s9 is like $200 on ebay...

Any idea how long the trade in offer is for or if you can send in a trade in shortly after buying the phone? It is not hard to buy one of these phone used in good condition just to trade in.

Traded in my Oneplus 7T

Got 117 value trade in as instant lump discount after 2 bill cycles
Monthly equipment charge is 31.25
Then that leaves me with 632.99 credit over 24 months, which is a 26.37 monthly credit
Which means I am responsible for paying something like 4.80 a month actually for the phone (since the $117 is a lump credit)

Great deal.

You have to finance the phone for 2 years - so no, you can't sell it on ebay until it's paid off. The monthly payments are offset via bill credits. Good if you're planning on using the phone and staying with TMo for 2 years, not good for quick trade outs.

Shouldn't you have gotten the upgrade for free with the 7T trade in?

It is free but because they are giving you the trade in credit up front on a lump sum, it doesnt give you a credit amount equal to the device charge

No idea why you would want to trade in a 7T Pro for an 8T. 8 Pro maybe.
