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.

I can't guarantee this outcome for you, but I lucked out with a really helpful Tmobile Support person who was very familiar with this process and has done it multiple times for herself and others.

My Situation:
Plan: 55+ plan for $60
Current Phone: Samsung S20 FE (Obtained through promotion where I am getting monthly credits)

1) Called Tmobile Support (My phone is in good condition and I am comfortable with doing this process through the mail)
2) Told Tmobile rep I wanted to do the trade in iPhone 12 deal, but first needed to payoff my phone.
3) For my situation, I needed to pay around ~$490 to have my current phone paid off. I paid this over the phone. I was told that the credit I was receiving for this phone would continue and she told me my new monthly bill would be ~$51.
4) Then I began the process of trading in my current Samsung S20FE for the iPhone 12 64GB. Received a fair market value of $230 for the trade in that will be applied as a credit to my Tmobile bill. Then I "financed" the new iPhone over the phone. I had to pay an additional $78 in taxes plus $40 (!) for two different upgrade fees.

Summary: Paid ~$600 total, got $230 credit applied to bill, new tMobile bill is ~$51 (goes back to $60 in 17 months)

What if you sell device and someone else uses it as a trade in on a T-Mobile account ? Do you lose the credit ?
Care to find out and share with us?

First EIP credit is "tied" to the IMEI of the first device within TMO. From here you can use your deducing or imagination as to what could happen next.

Sarcasm aside, there are fine prints somewhere or nowhere that requires this check is performed on the same line (or worse, account).

I have not done it, will not do it. but I am open to your stories.

I am specifically looking for this story: Joe bought device A under 24 EIP, then he paid off A early within 24m and traded A for B under a second EIP on the same line. Did Joe lose or keep the EIP credit on A during B EIP period?

I have done this twice so far, and so have others on this forum. We got to keep both monthly bill credits.

plus you don't have to deal with the $20 'assistance fee' that tmobile stores and chat/phone support charges.
You don't get charged the $20 if you do it via the app with no assistance.
The bad thing is, that we have to ship the phones out to Assurant. The office is located in Texas.

if you do it in a tmobile store, they keep your trade in device on the spot.
Do you have to be a costco member to do it there? I have a friend I can tag along with.

I traded in my iPhone XS Max 3 weeks ago for a $430 promo they had going on. Dohh!

Well, I just got back from the T-Mobile store. I decided to upgrade our other line, because $830 is too good to pass up.

I just got home and received a text message: "Hi! Your T-Mobile line 555-555-5555 is eligible to receive a higher monthly bill credit on 2021 Apple Switch P3. We thought you'd like this, so your bill credits have been updated to reflect this better deal - no action required! Learn more: t-mo.co/mypromo4"

So does this mean I'm going to get the $830 for my phone I traded in a few weeks ago!?
Can you elaborate on this? Did you end up adding this new deal to the other line, or did T-Mobile somehow retroactively apply this promotion to the upgrade you already did? I'm in the same boat... Have a new IPhone 12 sitting unopened that only gets $430 credit... Would like to get in on this vastly superior deal with the higher credit. I still have the iPhone 8 we were planning to trade in.

Just tried checking my trade-in value for like new Verizon iphone 6s 32gb and I got "Sorry, due to the condition of this device, the trade-in value is $0.00.
Am I doing something wrong?

What did you answer for the trade-in questions? It's supposed to be YES YES NO YES.

Tforce Twitter rep told me I will only get credit on one of the promo and therefore not on the Samsung phone I paid in full. My bill generates every 16 of the month so I will see. I can't imagine having wasted $282 for the free Samsung phone . I also did the free iPhone SE promo on my other line and I did the free Samsung promo on that line as well. I will check my bill on 17
For peace of mind I've never had an issue with a promo not paying itself out if I paid a phone off and did a new promo. Been with them 6 years and have done this many many times.

No. You will get zero credit for the device but still qualify for the full $380 price reduction via monthly bill credits.

Product idea for Slickdeals:
- Get some AI/ML in the backend so threads can be auto-organized/tagged into relevant subtopics automatically. A simple search does not cut it to get the relevant question answered. and reading through 150+ pages is simply not feasible for most. I didn't even read this much for my exams ever...
- There is so much great feedback in threads, but it is difficult to get to. Most of it is manual and the great folks here end up getting frustrated answering the same question multiple times.
- Maybe implement a bot per thread that can answer interactively based on the information already in the thread.

Ok thanks, I guess I wasn't sure what the first question was and answered no. Got the full $380 value. Thanks!

I didn't do anything. I had upgraded another line at the store today to get the $830 promo. I called customer service on the way home to ensure the credits will be applied to my account the next 24 months, because the paperwork didn't show any mention of the promo at the store. The customer service representative said, yes" I would get the promo as it will apply within the next 1-2 billing cycles. She said she'd also notate the account.

I get home, and I get a surprise text that my line I upgraded 3 weekends ago would be getting this better promo!

I already login to the account and it shows I'm getting $23.13/month in credits. The iPhone 12 Pro Max will now be $18.54/month.

Now I just have to wait for the 2nd line to show the promotion in the next 1-2 billing cycles. So we will have 2 iPhone 12 Pro Max phones for $37.08/month.

Several years ago I switched from att to T-Mobile. They were offering some cheap android phones for 'free' with 24 monthly credits. I had my own iPhones that were unlocked. There were no iPhone promos at that time. The rep gave me the free android phones and put the SIM cards in my att unlocked iPhones. I still received the monthly credits.

I don't think it matters if you sell the device or insert another sim in these iPhones. Maybe someone else can give us their experience

Do you set up everything online and then do the chat or did you actually try to get the credit first via chat before submitting the order for upgrade? Thank you!
Everything is done through chat. Both the credit and ordering. It was very easy. Hope this helps! 🙂
