  • How Trade-In Works:
    1. Calculate your trade-in phone's value
    2. Buy your new phone online
    3. Complete your new phone purchase online and activate your phone on the carrier's network (Best Buy will help with all that.)
    4. Pick up your new phone in one of our stores
    5. Bring your trade-in phone with you when you pick up your new one. Best Buy will check to make sure you're trading in the same phone you told them about online and check for any damage that might make your trade-in ineligible for the promotion.
    6. Best Buy will take your trade-in's value off the cost of your new phone.
      • Trade-in value is calculated to represent a working phone that turns on and does not have a cracked or broken screen. Your phone will be evaluated when you trade it in to validate that it meets all requirements.
      • Your order must be picked up from a store to complete your trade-in and apply its value to your new phone purchase.

just picked up my iphone 13 pro max blue 128gb and here is the entire process:
Im upgrading / trading my iphone 11 pro max .
Pre-ordered yesterday 09/23/2021 around 10 AM.
got a text an email this morning saying its ready to pick up.( was kinda surprised about this , but ig because this best buy has less people preordered , or got more stock , im in missouri)
I backed up my old phone to my computer . and reset the phone.
Got to best buy( I was one of the first 3 people there so i got help right away) , the guy asked me for my order number and name, then told me to get with a lady.
the entire pick up was about 15 mins, she asked for my id , then my old phone, she spent most of the time input stuff into the system. I confirmed on the machine my info is correct. she handed me the new iphone new in box with a sim card on top. I asked if she need to activate the phone or anything and she said no , when i put in the phone it should activate it self. got the phone and the receipt , now im heading home.
She didnt open the new phone box at all , she didnt ask if I need to transfer my old phone data to the new phone ( might be she noticed my old phone got reset)
what's the point of choosing a carrier if you pay almost full price lol
iPhone 13/pro is the weakest upgrade.
Only do it if you have a iPhone 8 or below.
Not worth $700/800 after all the hassle that you have to go through.
Your XR should be good through iPhone 14

Keep waiting. I received ready to pickup email just now for my delayed 512GB iPhone Pro preordered on Sep 20th.
It looks like regular pro models are easier to come by than pro max. What color was yours?

Yes, that seems to be the case. No guarantee, but I would wait. I ordered a white and gray iPhone 12 Pro on Sep 20.

The white was always in "we will email when ready" status and suddenly got pickup confirmation yesterday.

The gray got the additional "your order is delayed" warning with no additional ETA. Just got pickup confirmation for this 30mins ago.

Regarding unlock, chatted with Tforce and they confirmed they will work with me to unlock the Best Buy phones once I have them:

"Totally fair that we'd want these to be unlocked so you can use the phones where you need to! It's important to me that you're 100% set for success on these purchases Smilie I can absolutely follow up with you in a week to check on getting unlock requests processed if you'd like!"

How did you placed an order without PIN number? If you are a new customer you should have known your pin and account number

Well, I think you're the wrong one. Are you a T-mobile customer or not? If you're a customer then you need to know your pin code, if you are not a customer then the best buy rep can start creating a new account for you.

When you order thru best buy all t-mobile did was the credit check then back to bb and placed the order. At any point it didn't prompt me to create an account or pin.

Anyone picked up order today? Has they fixed the T-mobile tradein issue?
Nope. With this trade in issue my account totally blocked in bestbuy and unable to buy any devices. They have no clue whats going on with T-Mobile.

What if I put in a foreign country SIM card?
Don't do it. It will lock to that foreign carrier and you will have a permanently locked phone. The foreign carrier will not unlock a US iphone and the US carriers will not be able to unlock it for you.

sorry I dont want to go thru 152 pages to get my answer.
I am on Tmo ONE now and want to upgrade my SE2 (worth $280 right?) to 13pro. Do I have to upgrade my plan to magenta MAX to get in this deal?
It's just for device upgrade. It will not change your plan.
BTW, you don't need to go through 156 pages. The first question in "Questions & Answers" area is similar to yours. Smilie
