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!

Wait... why check online if you could just go into the settings? My assumption is still that you never inserted the TMO sim and that's why TMO can't unlock it. Can you clarify what the situation is please?
I don't have phones with me and I'm at work ...
That's why I wanted to see if a way to check

BBY inserted SIM cards and activated phones before they let me go...

Some people here have a tendency to post only partial answer or question. We have to troubleshoot their responds to figure out what had happen.

Go to sickw .com and pay 30cent then you will know. They give you basically everything you need to know about the iphone.

A reservation for what? Exactly what are you suggesting when Glee217 doesn't have a trade and doesn't even have TMO service?? Walk into the store, ask for the phone he wants and then say "well, can you hold it for me until I actually have TMO and a phone to trade in?"
So most likely I need to have both 12 mini and tmobile sim in hand before I go to BB store for the 13 pro max? But it is oos and says 2-3 weeks. Thanks

Folks, anyone having trouble trading in iPhone mini at Bestbuy? I am looking at some news where it seems TMobile has started notifying BBYs that locked prepaid minis don't qualify, and also actively rejecting trade in deals at BBY?

I wish I had an answer to this... Nobody knows how long this deal will be good for, so waiting it out for 2-3 weeks might lose you this deal altogether. At Costco at lest you would get your sim card right now, could order the Pro Max, secure the deal, and when it's ready for pickup take your ST 12 mini there and be done. Of course we've heard about cancellations of orders that couldn't get fulfilled in time so there's that risk. Ultimately, without investing $20 into a TMO sim with the talk&text plan you won't be able to do anything - so that would be the first thing on your to-do list.

Have you thought about going to the store after your 12 Mini comes in, purchasing another phone like the 13 Pro and when/if the Pro Max is available return the Pro, eat the $45 restocking fee and still getting what you want??

Just a quick question if someone can answer?

Can active T-mo sims be swapped between T-mo phones. Example - I take my sim out of my iphone and put into my android. Can you swap them back on forth between phones?
