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!

are you currently an ATT subscriber? i just ported all my lines OUT of ATT and back to TMO, i still have these 1month old ATT sim cards at home, but since im no longer their customer, would that portal work for non ATT subscribers?
You don't need to be a current ATT subscriber to use that portal

Awesome someone got it to work. People who need to get att sim, apple store has them for free.
Quote from eore227 :
Yeah of course it's going to lock if it's a active sim. Hence you need a inactive one. Apple store gives them away for free, any carrier just ask and you can get att one.
Thank you x2, I visited my local Apple store, asked for an AT&T unactivated SIM card, they ordered one on their iPad, a few minutes later they handed it to me. They didn't ask for *any* personal or iPhone information.

I can use the same unactivated AT&T Sim card on multiple iPhones, correct?

Were you you able to order again for same line? I also tried to cancel the last day 600 order and order again with 630. But it's giving me multiple order on same line error.
yeah I ended up using a different line on my family plan to place the order online. Then while in store, they asked for a number so I gave them my number instead, and I gave them confirmation code that came via text message.

The reason I cancelled is because I was using a gift card to pay. Otherwise I would have let the order expire after the pick up time passes.

Correct.

I can confirm that the ATT sim card unlock trick worked for my 3 best buy iPhone mini 13. I used an unactivated (new) prepaid at&t sim card when I started the iPhone and then proceeded to unlock via the portal.

Remember peeps that the iPhone cannot be activated with t-mobile sim card at best buy by the rep in order to use this att unlock trick.

I'm trying to trade in an iPhone 12 mini for a iPhone 13 mini on an existing line.

Even after trying the tips in the wiki, can't get past the "We're sorry, there was an issue processing your request. Please try again later." error. Also tried in store and they're getting some type of error that stops them from processing the trade I'm doing.

I'm on a legacy T-Mobile One plan, does anyone know if the plan is the issue?
I had the same problem. I think they are trying to make us upgrade our plan. We ended up going into the T-Mobile store and they were able to take our trade in. Without upgrading the plan.

Can someone show me how to place order online?
It keeps showing me error when I try to check out on line. The error: "iPhone 13 mini is no longer available for pickup at the store you selected" and there's no option to have the phone shipped to store and then pick up.
