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!
Jon
Did you read the whole post? Maybe you should do that first
Trade-in devices will never come back. No matter where you do the tradein bestbuy, verizon, att, apple etc etc..

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?
1 Yes
2 No. Check your tmobile account. You should see the bill.

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!
Yes, pretty much what you described. I had backed up my 12 to my computer and restored after buying the phone. The store rep did activate the phone before handing it over.

Thank you for the reply. Would that still be the case if I never had a t-mobile account previously? What I want to do is just get back to Visible as soon as possible and not have to pay T-Mobile for any service. I'm not sure if this is possible or not. I haven't switched carriers that often so this is relatively new for me.

If you cancel the first day then I don't think you have to pay the bill

Wow lucky you! Smilie

So to be sure, that was your actual allotment and not a random store visit where they had an extra unit?

T-Mobile is trash! I spent more than 20 hours and 3 store visits for the trade-in but every single time they gave me worst experience than ever. Also lost my trade-in devices without any discount as they messed up the order and didn't attach the return kit with my order. So now I am paying full price for the new devices and lost my fully unlocked iphone Xs without any trade-in credits! 😡😡😡

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank XealO

Alright so looks like re-ordering after I got cancellations came in the clutch. The phones must have been already en route when it happened so when they came in(like 5 days after my cancellation), my two new orders scooped them. Pro tip. The accompanied tmobile sim does not activate. Just keep your existing sim and make the swap in your tmo account.

Also, the iPhone 11 value went down by $10. Rather then dealing with customer service, I just asked the manager for a $10 GC. Lastly, they will not see the trade-in promo, only the discount. Don't fret. As long as you get charged the right amount on your CC, you're g2g.

Someone please help if I owe money to T-Mobile on my trade in device but it's getting monthly bill credits on the Eip installment plan. Can I trade that device in or should I pay off the phone first and risk losing the bill credits?

quick question :
Existing Tmobile Customer : ordered a iphone 13 (trade in iphone 12) - got it ready in immediatly for pickup.
Q1 . The sales tax is on original cost of iphone 13 ($799) or the discounted cost after trade in ($75)??
Q2. VVIMP - i just upgraded my device on an existing number - the guy did not open the phone or activate it by inserting the new sim , he said i can use it with the old sim. does that means the phone is unlocked and can be used with any sim , since it was not activated in the store?/ if so i would like to keep it unlocked , coz i dont want to punch in tmobile sim and get it locked to the network for 2 months.(40 days)

1. Depend on where you live.
2. The phone is flex policy. It's unlocked at the moment. It will locked to whichever the carrier that gets the first dip.
