You're referencing the T-Mobile deal? There is indeed a standard process by which the line level credits are migrated to account level credits so that you can continue to receive them on a monthly basis.

Good luck!

It does not need to be fully paid off.
Can't find the original question, but is this about trading in a Phone that is not fully paid off?
Can you also trade in carrier locked phones and get full trade in value?

I did not cancel the first order until I picked up the 2nd order
Thanks. Good to know. When you picked it up, did you have to go the online pickup register or the cell phone area?

Do y'all think there will be a better trade in offer coming around or on black Friday? Or is this the deal
I doubt it, this is a great offer because you are trade-in and paying the full value less the trade in credit which is instant, while others offers usually will give the you the trade-in value as credit in 24~36 months.

Quote from bosoxx091 :
Once you get the phone you can swap lines with whatever sim you want. Or not assign it to a line at all. This is how people do this deal multiple times with one line.

Technically if they didn't activate in store you could even put a different carrier sim in the phone and I think it would automatically lock to whatever carrier it is
So it's 100% certain the line number I used to do the "upgrade" when I traded in and bought this phone won't be impacted any way if I throw in a sim from other T-Mobile line phone? Want to be absolutely certain I don't screw up her phone while traveling. That would be disastrous!

Your concerns are understandable. If you picked up the phone already and the line was unimpacted you are in the clear unless you go out of your way to the Best Buy site and click an "activate SIM" button that has been described in the long list of posts to this thread.

If you haven't ordered or picked up yet then YMMV is the proper disclaimer - some computer programmer might suddenly work out the kinks in the integration. I've had no issue at all departing from store with an unopened box with SIM taped on and entered in Best Buy transaction system but not fully "activated."

Good luck!

The 4 stores near me don't have the color I need in stock but the website won't even let me place an order. I don't need the phone right away but atleast let me order, I can pick it up whenever it's back.

This is true for all colors except Starlight, for some reason the website lets me order that. I just don't want the deal to run-out because I wanted Midnight

Thanks!

Hmm..tempted to trade in my xs max--wonder if it'd be worth it.. i don't even know anymore lol--was also going to wait/see about the pixel 6 pro..but yeah..
FYI: Out of frustration trying to get a deal with my existing carrier Verizon, yesterday I switched to T-Mobile & got $600 off Pixel 6 Pro ($300 with a pixel 2xl trade-in) and an unlimited 5G plan ($77 vs the $65 I currently pay Verizon for 4G)

While I was on hold I checked their coverage and found 2 different sources saying T-Mobile has the best 5G coverage in the US at the moment Wink

"T-Mobile keeps crown for 5G coverage, speed
According to Opensignal, T-Mobile users connected to 5G 36.3% of the time.
That compares to 22.5% for AT&T (up 2% since April) & 10.5% for Verizon."

Btw, typical AT&T was rude af Mad when I checked there for any deals. Even left me hangin on chat twice, till I finally disconnected out of frustration.​

It changed once already after a couple of weeks. Rumor in the other thread was that it would run "through the end of October." No one knows for sure.

That is great! Happy for you that you got good deal for yourself!

I went a slightly different route and am going to be using my xs max to upgrade my mom's 12pro to a 13 pro max, and keep the 12 pro for myself (or use it to upgrade to a 13 pro max as well---not sure just yet haha).

The pixel does look very nice! While the camera is really nice, it gets blown out of the water by the vivo X70 Pro Plus @_@.

check out this video on it, it's not a full review but geezes the camera output is awesome
