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!

Does this trade in promo from Best Buy require you to finance the new iPhone Pro for 24 months or can you pay it the remaining balance up front?

That is so odd. Temecula CA pretty much has every phone in any color available locally or within a 50 mile drive.

It depends on which rep does the deal.

They did not opened mine, nor asked me to activate the phones, or insert our SIMS.

But BB did deactivate one old SIM which was still in an old phone, tho the box was still sealed. But such might create an issue if that phone holder is not nearby, especially out of town/USA.

You can always request and tell them this is for xmas gift, pls do not open, which is true in many cases.
Yeah, disabling the old phone will be an issue. Let's see, I'll order the phone and pick it up after she gets back and hopefully BB will hold the phone until then.

Vow man this worked like a charm.
As soon as I did this I got the text.
Seems my old number are in best buy account preventing the text message from coming in.

Thanks for the info.
Repped.

I only see one DP of rejection. If there was a memo maybe it was too late to implement it today. I guess since most of the early walmart orders will be delivered tomorrow we might see more DP's of success or failure.

Is there a maximum number of times you can do this per line? I've done it a few times and tried to do it again for a Pixel 6 and got an error that I had a pending upgrade, which is not true.
Same error. Did 3 orders few weeks ago & had to cancel 4th pickup. Trying to do another now but I keep getting pending upgrade error.
Used the same number for all orders. I guess they finally put a cap on number of times you can use a number

Update:
-Signed up for T-mobile $20 unlimited talk/text plan on Wednesday
-Received SIM card today via UPS 2-day shipping, activated, and got my new number
-Immediately after activation, went through the BB online verification and order process, scheduled order pickup & trade-in for Monday (trading in 12 mini)
How did you sign up to the $20 plan online? I'm a new customer & t-mob doesn't seem to offer it online

No caps.This a known issue with Best buy and T-Mobile, If you cancel an existing order, you are unable to place another order. Copy paste the error message you get into google, and you will see discussions dated early 2020 where people have encountered this issue when they have canceled an order

How did you sign up for a new account with it being only a soft pull instead of a hard. Fill us in because if that's the case I want to do the same. Don't want a hard pull but if we can get a new account this way it would be great.

Anyone try the att SIM card trick and if that works? Insert unactivated att card let phone activate and then go to att unlock portal and get it unlocked immediately. I did that with several iPhone XS Max phones I got from a Walmart deal which were flex phones.

It must be per number not account since I've done 6 already but I also have 4 lines

Could you advise if I do the trade in and purchase in store in CA. How is the tax calculated? based on full price or the difference? Thanks
