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!

Whoa, nice. Could you walk me through? When I go to create an account at https://www.t-mobile.com/ I get stuck at:
Login > Sign up > Phone number -- what am I entering here?

And will I actually need to buy a SIM card at the end of this process?


Hmm, wonder how long? Tello has no contracts and is pay-as-you-go Confused


In the typical situation it may take up to 40 days to unlock so one should expect to be billed for two months of service.


Yeah, I would normally agree, although I don't plan on applying for any loans in the near future so maybe? I think it takes 6 months to a year for a hard pull to come off your report
Even without hard pull, xfinity mobile $450 trade-in offer is way better than this. Also Visible offer is better than this. Don't understand why bother this...

I plan on using T-mobile prepaid SIM. Can I cancel the post paid plan right after picking up the phone, then insert the prepaid T-mobile SIM and start using it?

Where are you finding cheap devices to trade? I did 6 trades using phones I had on hand, but I don't see any cheap devices out there for sale to make more trades worth it to me.

The only warm deal I see is the $299 12 Mini, which makes the 13 Mini $370 plus tax after trade. But that is not that great of a deal IMHO unless I can flip a 13 Mini for about $600.
FB marketplace and offerup. Good thing there is a guy that selling iphone overseas. So I don't have post then try to sell it. It's gone within a day or 2 after I pick up the tradein. If I don't know that guy. I wouldn't have done that many tradeins. Too many spammers when post on FB. Basically all the flipping so far got myself a free 13PM. You can flip 13 mini for 550$ Or something. That will get you some profit for doing minimal work.

I am not existing T-mobile customer. What is the best way to get this deal? Can I open an account with $15 pre-paid T-Mobile plan and then use T-Mobile phone number and SSN to upgrade at Best Buy website? I have an iPhone 11 to trade in.

I was able to get this deal in-store, but the phones were out of stock and expected in mid-December. I got set up with a new T-Mobile account and was given the SIM card and instructed to bring it when the order arrives in a few weeks. If I manage to avoid installing the SIM (I could just say since I have the SIM, I'll just install/activate the phone myself at a later time) - could I simply install another SIM (Mint, etc.) ? Or is the phone's model locked to T-Mobile until I request it to be unlocked?

Quote from VidyaG9025 :
If you do it on the store the taxes are calculated in a weird way and they are charging more. When you do it online, it charges tax on the remaining balance after trade in value is applied.
This is weird, I just ordered an iPhone 13 with an iPhone 12 trade in and the estimated tax on the $74.99 difference was $60.96. Not sure how it came up with that tax amount. is there anything special I need to do to get the taxed on the difference only?

EDIT: I'm in CA and just saw a previous post saying we need to go order at a B&M to get the better tax rate, not online

Long ago one rep told me to stay for 90 days so TM don't black list you

Not sure if it's validity but I try to stick with that rule
Blacklisting account holder or the device imei as lost or stolen ? Any idea ? Also did anyone already cancelled their service within a month under this promotion after the device unlock?

Is anyone else having trouble getting a verification text for T-Mobile? I also tried the email option and that just gives the same error message ("we had an error but it should be fixed now") repeatedly

I just checked online trade-in with t-mobile for 12 mini and best price I can get is 430$
https://tradein.bestbuy.com/clien...es/iphones
You don't have option for brand new iphone 12 mini

Also I spoke with t-force representative and they asked me why would they unlock the phone? They seems indifferent into unlocking the phone.

Is there guarantee that I could unlock iphone 13 pro with t-force team, and what is the trick to get them to unlock my future phone.
