iPhone deal is dead. Only the A32 is valid.
Samsung Galaxy A32 5G upgrade
now only available via CSR or in store:
There was no way to add to cart (only add a new line) so I had to call to get the Samsung Galaxy A32 5G upgrade. CSR told me that they take any cellular device, even the bag phone, as long as it turns on and the screen isn't cracked. Tell them that website won't let you order to avoid the $20 "service" charge.
I received a text saying my trade in has $0 value for the free Galaxy A32 5G. Is that correct?
If your phone had any trade in value, say a Pixel XYZ with $100 value, you would've gotten a one time $100 credit on the upcoming bill and they would've given you the $182 balance over 24 months as monthly credits (to sum up to the $282 value of the phone, making it "free"). In your case, there's no one time bill credit because your trade-in phone had no value so you'll receive the $282 promotional value as a bill credit of $11.75/month over 24 months. You are buying the phone for $282 paid as $11.75/month and getting the corresponding promotional credit of $11.75/mo, both over 24 months, making it "free".
Similarly, if you trade in an old iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 for the half off iPhone 12 Mini, those will have $0 value also so no instant credit and $365 promotional credit will be given over 24 months.
For the free iPhone 12 with an iPhone 11 trade-in, I only received a trade-in value of $206 for the iPhone 11. Is this correct?
The trade-in value of the iPhone 11 is $206. You will receive the $206 as a one time bill credit on the first bill. Then you will receive the rest of the $830 promotional offer, which is $624, as monthly bill credits of $26/month over 24 months.
UPDATE 4/19/21
People keep asking this question. For the free Galaxy A32 5G phone, if your trade-in phone doesn't show in the dropdown list:

They finally updated their promo page today. Looks like 3 separate promos, not a mix and match max 4 total. . .
Per needgeech's post, these are the respective three promotions [t-mobile.com]. Separate promotions means you can redeem up to 4 each if your credit allows it.
- 2021 Apple Trade P7, Promo Code: T567 (iPhone 12 Mini Deal)
- 2021 Samsung Trade P7, Promo Code: T555 (Samsung A32 deal)
- 2021 Apple Trade P6, Promo Code: T566 (iPhone 12 deal)
Multiple EIPs and recurring device credits on a single line? How Recurring Device Credits (RDC) work [t-mobile.com]
- To receive Recurring Device Credits (RDC), you must purchase your device on EIP and meet any other requirements of the promotion.
- 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)

UPDATE 4/18/21
The free unlimited addon is rolling out in waves today. Please be patient. Some people that cancelled their paid unlimited before today are seeing free unlimited now, but ymmv.
The iPhone promo is not currently showing up online but it is available. Order via support or in store. If online you may be able to get the support fee waived due to the offer not being available on the self serve website or app. Alternatively, get confirmation from T-Force on Twitter or Facebook that ordering online will activate the promo. Then order online as usual and do the eligible trade-in. The offer should automatically apply afterwards.
(In your account's Upgrade a Line option, you can get the iPhone promo.)
UPDATE 4/13/21
As an added bonus, all credit classes will have $0 down for the free A32 5G phone offer.
UPDATE: 4/12/21
- New info has been received about the free 5G phone upgrade. The promo isn't applicable for backorders. This means that if the phone is out of stock you can't get the promo, making this a sort of "while supplies last" type of deal.
EDIT 4/18/21: online looks like you can still order the phone even though it's backordered; just confirm your trade-in qualifies you for the promotional $282 credit and you should be good to go.
UPDATE: 4/10/21
- It seems T-Mobile is doing some annoying (imo) things regarding qualification for the free unlimited data upgrade on the 18th.
- If you are already paying for an unlimited addon, it will stay paid. You will not receive free unlimited.
- If you modify the line (remove the paid soc for example) after the 7th of april, you also will not qualify. So no removing the paid soc to get the free one later.
- Only existing customers with limited data buckets and no unlimited addon will get the free unlimited soc.
- It's a one time deal. Future lines added on a limited simple choice plan won't get free unlimited, for example.

- Begins April 18th
- Price will never go up due to the change
For A32 5g with trade-in, why is there bill credits for 24 months when the phone is free?
You are effectively buying the phone for $282 for which they will charge you $11.75 per month over 24 months. As long as the phone line it's assigned to remains active, they are also giving you a promotional credit of $11.75 per month over 24 months to make it net zero. That's how it's "free" as there will be a net $0 change to your month bill over 24 months as the monthly promotional credit cancels out the monthly phone charge. If you cancel the line before 24 months, the balance on the $282 you owe will be due and the $11.75 credit for the line goes away because the line is gone. Note you will pay tax on $282. If you do this in the store, you'll likely also pay the $20 assisted service fee (and possibly a sim card fee if you get a new sim card).

**************************
Can we get multiple promo credits on the same line?
A: YES ! YES !! YES !!!
If you pay off the existing EIP balance fully, the promo credits move to the account level (so to speak, in "their" system) but it is still listed under that line so T-Mo can track it in case you cancel that line in future before the duration (24 months in this case)!
I have done it i.e. paid off the device from Feb-2021 promo and started the new device EIP and as you can see in the attached image, both the credits are active under the same line (although internally they call it "moved to account level" and we couldn't care less as long as we get it right? lol)

Network Unlock through the app:
EIP has been paid up and went through the unlock app in the phone. Cannot be unlocked. Got an error code 1.

I am not sure, I know the a/c limit is 4 but doing the same promo on the same line?
That's tricky and I think your should confirm with Cust care, not believe folks here !
But the real issue is, you should NEVER pay off the device until your EIP and credits start on the a/c i.e. at least 1st bill reflects that.
Since this promo started just 2 days ago, why are we talking about this so soon?
Wait for the 1st bill, make sure everything is in place, take screenshots of RDC page, confirm with cust care if you can pay it off and start the same promo on the same line...
this A32 5g is actually more of a watered down version of A32...
6.5" TFT 720x1600 vs 6.4" 90 hertz Amoled 1080 x 2400
64gb vs 128gb storage
48mp vs 64mp camera
7nm cpu vs 12nm cpu
is this phone actually worth the 24 month commitment?
If you really believe your Galaxy A5 blows the A32 away on performance and capability, that's great.
As my uncle used to say " Even vinegar taste sweet when it's free "
The $415 value for the XR is for the iPhone 12 promotion which the 6S doesn't qualify for. Even the XR will be valued at something less (say $200 as an example) but the entire $415 promotional credit will get applied.

Last month was an exception that T-Mo allowed a free line and phone promo on the same but it was still adding a new line and not an upgrade. I did have to port to get a free 12 after trade-in.
For those who are already committed and have paid off phones in free lines, this is the time to free them up (possibly keep for future promos or even sell them) and replace them with this A32 while disposing age old phones.

This shows you all active Device as Service (e.g. "Line on Us" etc...) promotions !
I have attached the screenshot showing some credits at the a/c level even after I hve paid off those devices fully !
