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!

With the trade in, I don't think the network matter, I just selected Sprint during the "update your line" and trade in your phone and it was fine. Plus Sprint/Tmobile phones are interchangeably right now so it doesn't matter either way. Hope that helps.
If I have a Boost phone I wonder if it is too early to say "ATT?" They were partnered with Sprint/T-Mobile but announce moving forward it will be ATT and their own custom network.

That I'm not sure, since I have Tmobile/Sprint phone lol. You could try and report back. When I went to BB to picked up the phone, I don't even think the guy cared what network the phone on. He barely even looked at the phone and asked for my information for the trade in (they required your address, phone number, etc. ) to processed the trade in. And I was in-n-out in 10 mins.

My 11/26 Pro Max order cancelled 4 days ago. Ordered another for 12/10. Walked into the Lincoln Center Best Buy (#1448) and got a blue 256gb in about 45 min from Emely. Cancelled the 12/10 order. They got a few 256gb Pro Max in stock yesterday apparently.

You don't have to open. Most reps will ask if you need help with activation. Just tell them you will be doing that at home, faster and easy. They just hand you the phone when you tell them that.

Very true. I had a total of 6 tradeins. The tradeins were from tmo, ATT, US cellular (chose ATT). BB reps were just checking the IMEI and the costmetic. Entire process was like 10-15 mins.

Ordered last night and got pickup confirmation today morning. Went to store in the evening, and traded in 12 64GB for the base iPhone 13. $81.xx out the door. Not bad. Pretty smooth and quick transaction.

How was the trade in process? Did you just turn in your old iPhone 12 64GB & pick up your iPhone 13?

How about the data on your iPhone 12? Did you backup?

TIA!

Did they swap out the sim card for you?
How about the old data on your iPhone? Did you transfer to the phone before turn it in to BB?

You will give them your tradein at the time of pickup the new phone. BB reps will check to see if there is any crack. To make the process easy and faster, backup your iPhone to pc, mac, or icloud. Logout apple ID. When rep give you your new phone, press reset on your tradein and walkout. Setup your new phone with your backups that you made earlier.

When I picked up I was told that if I didn't back up they could it. Process would take 1-2 hours depending on what you are storing. Also they charge a fee as well.

Do it at home.

Thanks. so backup phone ahead of time, and bring the clean phone for trade in at the store, right?

The phones that I tradein already been backup to my pc and icloud. Just press reset 1 last time when they hand me the new phone. They asked if I need help with activation, told them NO. Went home, pop in the old sim and restore the iPhone from my backup.

Questions for the more experienced with these deals...I am currently on Visible and was able to pick up a 13 Pro Max this evening with a trade-in of my iPhone SE 2020. The rep at BB didn't put the T-Mobile SIM card in and activate it (the new iPhone never left the box). Given that I really didn't want to stay with T-Mobile anyway, I have the following questions:

- Can I just put in my old Visible SIM and keep going as I had been? I had selected to transfer my number when adding the new iPhone to cart. Will that mess anything up?

- If the new T-Mobile SIM is never inserted/activated, does that mean I don't ever have to pay T-Mobile for any service?
