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!

Quote from SDGempler :
Yes, I see that now. But also you are buying a carrier locked phone and trading in a carrier unlocked phone since it is over a year old and either automatically unlocked or an unlock can be requested, so you are electing to stay with whatever over priced carrier you select for the new phone and their horrible rate plan instead of switching to a far cheaper pretpaid service that runs on the same network.
This is a very general statement. I know many folks who pay less than $15/line for postpaid unlimited talk text and data plans. I don't see any pre paid plan beating that value.
Also many folks were able to unlock these phones bought through best buy immediately which is even before the normal 40 day policy. I unlocked 3 myself.

I was able to get two new iPhones (Pro and Pro Max) by creating new T Mobile account solely for getting good value in tradein. Luckily I was able to unlock both the devices within 24 hours through the T Mobile App.

Now the question is how long do I need to keep the account open and accrue the billing? Should I just cancel the account and pay for couple of days usage. How does T Mobile do partial month billing?
I'm still on the Sprint Kickstart plan (so can't do this deal). Considering doing this deal your way and cancelling the new T-Mobile account. FYI online people say T-Mobile does not prorate the final bill, so looks like at a minimum you need to pay for a full month of service.

Think it would be an issue if my wife goes to do the pickup that's in my name? Should I give her my license to bring? Don't see anywhere to add a different pickup person.
Thanks

Phone must be picked up by the person who paid for it (the name on the credit card), unless your ID has a picture of your wife on it, it will not work

There won't be an option to add a different pickup person for phone purchase. It states "the person on the billing address have to pick it up." Just use your wife credit card to make the purchase and she will pick it up.
