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 Steve1971 :
I spoke to a BB "mobile specialist" and he could not explain the tax inconsistencies.

Question: specialist told me that I could not change plan after activating and that even though the phone could be unlocked (after 90 days) I would still be locked into a contract. There is nothing on BB's website that indicates a contract, it simply says unlock can be after 40 days.
There is no contract. When I got one, I did not sign any contract. He just gave me form showing the trade in.

I think your guy is blowing smoke from who knows where. Maybe he is thinking of other deals. They are confusing for a rep with all the carriers, different plans, different trade in deals, different promotions.

Quote from ChasingtheDeal :
Yes, i placed the order online! And no, the rep did not adjust my taxes. The taxes quoted on my online order was correct. The rep said whatever the amount is when you checkout online/on the confirmation e-mail is the correct taxes. They taxed on the price of the remaining amount of the phone and not the full device. So i paid $11 for taxes

Here is the rundown of my payment details:

Product Total
$124.99

Discounts
Trade-in Allowance
-$775.00
Trade-in Promotion
-$200.00

Sales Tax, Fees & Surcharges
$11.09

Order Total
$136.08
Maybe CA has different Tax law on online orders? I am in bay area and all my 5 online orders were taxed on full amount.
The scheduled pick up date is 11/12~ 11/19.
I will try to cancel and reorder with different credit card when picking up.
If the rep can charge the tax on remaining amount instead, that would save me about $400.

Here is my payment for one13 max 256G on 10/28.
Item Total:
$318.74

Product Price:

I submitted unlock request via twitter 2 days ago. Right now the "carrier lock" shows "SIM locked". My old unlocked iphone shows "No SIM restrictions". If my new iphone is unlocked successfully hopefully tomorrow, will the info automatically change to ""No SIM restrictions", or need I do something? I don't have a SIM from another carrier to test.
No SIM restrictions means your phone is unlocked and good to go, and yes, your 13 will change to that status eventually, just no notification, so make sure you check your settings every day for any changes.

Call T-Mobile and ask for the same deal. They are entertaining for all post paid and pay you the same trade-in price for the old phone and all models of new phones are available.
To sweeten the deal... Free S&H both ways.
That will be great. What about tax?

I tried calling my local BB and ended up talking to someone at the National Call Center…she told me that we were "under contract" - insomuch the phone is locked to the TMobile service until you qualify for an unlock.

But don't think you are getting $200 over what's posted in the OP. The $200 is included in those trade in values.

It follows TMOBILE's rules for unlocking which is 40 days. But everyone here seems to have gotten lucky and able to unlock earlier. I am going to try and downgrade to the $20 essentials voice/text plan immediately

You have to use other carrier SIM card in order let iPhone process activate again to connect server getting result "No SIM restrictions ", another wise you have to restore the iPhone to getting activate phone by setting page.

I got all 3 of my iPhones unlocked via T-force in approximately 3 days after within a week of buying.
