I been trying to trade my iPhone 12 regular and it's only giving me 700$

Deal has changed. The trade-in values are now lower.

Maybe OP can update this so everyone is aware.

No port-in requirement for this deal.

Don't lose hope. I submitted order last week with tentative pickup date as Friday 26th Nov. however within a week got an email saying your order is ready for pickup. Picked up my phone on Sunday. iPhone-13 Pro Max.

Yes, according to the conversation I had with TFORCE on Facebook.

I checked with TMO rep on chat within TMO app and she told me that I need to pay the EIP every month of the device I trade in, even after I trade-in, but but the monthly credits will stops….thanks

Can I change the line number that I used for upgrading an existing line? I initially chose a line where I still get bill credits. I want to move to a line with no bill credits. I guess I can always cancel and reorder but the current pick up estimate is now Dec 3, instead of Nov 26th

You can't change the line withoit cancelling the order. Maybe wait until the order is ready for pickup and then when you go to store then you can ask the rep while activation and if he says not possible then you can ask to cancel and rebuy it.

That's not the answer that myself and many others in this thread were told, plus those who did this deal a few weeks back have had a bill since then and said they still received credits.

The reality is that there isn't a reason for the credits to stop. Nowhere in the original promotion did it say you had to keep the phone for the entire 2 years. If you break it, lost it, it was stolen, whatever doesn't mean that the credits would be invalidated.

In fact, logging into my account, I still see it listed:

Monthly credits remaining:18
Amount of monthly credit:$31.30

Be careful of chat reps on 611 or in the app. If it's not a T- Force rep on Twitter or Messenger, then don't believe almost anything they say. Even T-Force reps screw up at times, but in my experience they have the ability to resolve any concerns in step with what I was initially advised if a problem arises.

I have multiple lines right now receiving multiple bill credits for devices that I no longer own that I traded in during past deals while still on EIP. The credits are assigned to each line, or in my case, some are also on the account level when multiple credits exist. As long as I keep those lines active each month, I will continue to receive monthly bill credits as promised until the original promo term expires, thereby fulfilling the EIP agreement.

If I were to cancel those lines before that time, then I would lose any remaining bill credits and be forced to pay off the remaining balance immediately.

Not sure if that helped you or confused you more, but there you go.

Few scenarios to consider:

- A fully paid off phone still receiving monthly credit.

- A phone might have gotten lost/damaged and still receive credit

- A phone got traded in still receive credit

TM does not know what is going on with "the phone", as long as you pay, or paid it off and do not owe them one penny, the monthly credit will go on for 24 months.

I was able to request unlock 3 phones successfully from this promotion almost immediately after purchase via Twitter, phones indicating "no SIM restriction" about 2-3 days after request submission. For the 4th phone, rep on twitter submitted the unlock request without me opening the phone to activate since I'm planning to gift the phone to family overseas.

How are they able to unlock the phone without you opening the box? My understanding was that the phone locks when you activate the phone with a sim?

Apple controls the "activation server" end of this process. There seems to be a third party company that can interact with Apple when authorized to do so. I got no resistance to an unlock request once I showed a Costco receipt that my TMo phone was "paid in full." I did not try to unlock without activation but I've read other posts that suggest it has happened.

Good luck,

Dan

You can port in google voice numbers over to T-mobile. I did the same.
Google voice numbers are free to set up and gives you the choice to select a number based on your area code preference.
There is a one-time fee of $3 paid to google to unlock the number for porting.
Once unlocked submit a request to T-mobile. Your port in will be completed within 2-24 hours.
T-mobile does not charge any fee.

Thanks!

How are you verifying the phone is unlocked when not opened? I am using sickw.com and T-Mobile although they are telling me the phone is unlocked. I am not the seeing the updates made for my IMEI.
