Up to 830 is because if you buy 12mini it will have trade in credit or only $730 and not $830 and it you buy 12pro or pro max then you will only get $830 and rest will be on you. That's what upto $830 means so yes iPhone 8 will get you upto $830 depending on the device you choose
Where is Costco? They use to have similar deal as Tmobile but not lately. Wonder if we didn't kill the golden goose by canceling "new line" after getting the rebate.
For those of you trying to get a phone from SWAPPA like a iPhone 8 or S9 series, make sure you do order from an individual seller where the item/images clearly display the listing number.

In that case it's a unique listing offer and the IMEI will be displayed on the sales page right after your purchase. If you order good quality or spend $10 more for mint you should be golden. Once purchased on the sales page you will see the serial number (IMEI):

If you order from an enterprise seller with generic images and none displays the unique listing number the IMEI will NOT show up and you may have to wait until they are back in the office on Monday and the deal could be over.

Hey guys.I'm a bit confused here
I just got my mom phone with her IPhone X which I trade in for 12 mini 259 GB that is $879 so I paid $149 for down payment and $61 for taxes.
Rep told that they will credit me $830 during the 24 months but in contract I see that only $730 is going to be credited for iPhone mini,should I be concerned?
The base 12 Mini is only $730. Unfortunately, I believe you're correctly only going to get $730 in total credits for that phone (irrespective if the 256GB version costs more).

I got iphone 12 purple trading in 11 last week in 5G deal. I was regretting it yesterday and was thinking to return since I didn't send the 11 yet.
However there's a restocking fees of $70. So basically I won't get anything back on taxes I paid and I'll end up keeping 11 instead of 12. Not wise and hence keeping 12 u got already makes more sense.

But to somewhat compensate for my loss and take advantage of current deal with lower model trade in, I bought a 8 from offer up for $175. (Some available for 150-160 too but with low ratings on profile.)
Directly went to store, traded in the 8 which I just bought n got another 12 on a different line.
Total cost on this $175+$85(taxes n fees)=260
Will keep 12 for a month or two when credits start coming and can get it unlocked. Will then sell it for 500-600 easily I guess...

Hope it helps someone who is in same situation.

Yeah, did you activate it? My guy said it had to be activated but I didn't care as everyone said that didn't matter (at least for T-Mobile). Sprint apparently will only accept a Sprint phone as trade according to the 5 reps I've spoken to thus far.
Thank you! I didn't go buy it yet. Just wanted to make sure before I go buy it tomorrow. Not going to activate it. Planning on buying it at Boost then straight to Tmobile tomorrow.

Folks who bought iPhone 8 phone from Micro Center to trade-in, what did you select as "Carrier?" It doesn't have "Unlocked" in the list.

im going through the process now with my XR.


So I think my Wife and I's phones still have a month or 2 payment left on them, but the deal we did back then was buy one get one free (monthly credit). I'm assuming if we pay them off we lose out on the remaining credit. I guess i'll see what it shows when I try to trade in... Anyone else run into this?

No, it appears it is up to $830, even with the iPhone 12 Mini.

Attached is the iPhone 12 Mini 128GB, which is $780 and getting credit for $780.

I specifically asked Rep before I signed contract If I will be getting $830 during the 24 months period and he said yes.So I bet all come together
$879 for iPhone mini 256 GB
$830 trade credit from X
$153 instant credit during the checkout I haven't count this
$149 down payment
So basically I paid $45+$61 which is taxes It's a bit confusing tho but I got it now...just have to keep my eye so they will give instant credit back.

Yes, you can pay off the balance and still get the remaining promotional credits:

I was told to becareful with the pay off. This is not the same as adding a line promo. This is on existing line and credit will come only when the phone is under payment plan.

Not true, if you pay off the phone. Credits move to account level from the line. Clearly mentioned in device credit terms. I'll find the link and edit my comment shortly with the update.

https://www.t-mobile.com/support/...al-credits

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.
