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!

Yes. I opened the TMobile account today with one new line and 3 lines ported from ATT.
None of the ported lines from ATT are getting the SMS. Only the new line from TMobile is getting the SMS. So I used the code received on new TMobile line 3 times (on the same line).
Other lines never got the SMS ..they are getting verified but no sms is coming right from the start.

Thanks again. Repped.
Set up your TMO online account as the account owner. Enable and then immediately disable the various text blocks for the other lines. Then it should work. Note however that if you already tried 5+ times for any of the ported lines that it will have no impact until tomorrow. Repped back

Thanks a lot for the guidance.
I will try this after 12 AM. Hopefully it will work.
Also is there any limit on the number of times a single line # being entered on the best buy verification screen ?

Is the plan to close the new line after unlocking the phone? Asking because I might have to do something like this despite being a TMo customer for 8 years. For some reason the last 4 of my SSN isn't working on Bestbuy when ordering the phone.
Yep. I plan to request unlock after the new phone is in TMobile's system for 24 hrs. Then cancel and profit.

Whatever your justification is, you can be 100 million percent sure that if there was a source for cheap trade-in devices it would be depleted by now

No, it was straight and to the point.

1) What is your Best Buy phone number?
2) What is your email?
3) Driver license please
4) Copy IMEI from the iphone trade-in
5) Scan 5 different codes on the iphone 13
6) Print out trade-in receipt showing trade-in (without the $200 tmobile upgrade bonus)
7) Hand over new iphone

Repeat for other trade ins (BB systems doesn't save the info between trade-ins, so agent has to redo from step 1). Out in 10 mins.
So you traded 5 iPhone 12 minis to trade-in? Was this online or fully done in-store? I don't have a T-Mobile account so couldn't do much online and waiting for iPhone 12 mini to arrive.

I also tried texting to those numbers but got no luck. Someone said they can select sending the code via email in the store
I went to the store once again but I couldn't get the email verification either. I was about to give up but went to account settings > communication preferences > and signed up for texts. Got the reply Y message to confirm and then tried to do the upgrade one last time. This somehow activated the verification text and was able to place my order. Hope this helps!

I don't get how these people are finding stores with the phones in stock. Every best buy in Chicago and surrounding states is sold out until December 17th
