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!

Would one of you SD'ers with good experience please update the wiki with what to do when you go into the BB (if you order online and/or if you order in-store).

That part is mystery without reading through the 4000+ messages in this thread.

I see some people are charged higher taxes if they order online, so I will do my two trade-ins in store at the same time.

Ordered in store. Didn't want to pay tax on the entire value of the phone since I'm in SoCal so waited til I got the ST Walmart phone today in the mail and then went into store and they had a black iPhone 13 luckily.
Nicely done, so in order to pay less tax you have to make sure to do EVERYTHING for this deal in store? I shouldn't go ahead and do anything online? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Noooooo. Frown The color and size is finally available and now I'm getting the dreaded "There was an issue adding this package to your Cart. It should only be temporary, but please wait a little while before clicking Try Again."

Looks like it could be related to the business account,, but people have said it didn't matter if the account has a social security # attached to it. Anyone have any ideas?

I haven't tried it out myself yet as I always went through T-Force for my previous unlock requests. But I found it interesting and went through the comments from the last few days and consolidated information about the ATT unlock procedure and added it to the Wiki.

If people ask you can send them there. If something is incorrect, feel free to update. That's the community spirit.

Almost instant unlock process via ATT (AT&T) SIM card (as reported by multiple users)

Can we use same At &t card to unlock multiple phones or do we need separate inactive card for each device

No problem. The customer service rep waived the $30 activation fee and $10 sim card fee (without me even asking).
Edit:
So did the BB store or Tmobile can waive both fees ?

This seems like a scorching hot deal. $125 to upgrade from 12 pro max to 13 pro max.

Edit: If you do in store pick up, will they let you activate the phone to transfer files before accepting the trade in?

I was planning to trade in iPhone 12 pro max 256 gb to iPhone 13 pro max 128 gb, but thinking is paying 125$ more and lower memory worth upgrade.

Depends on your needs. Personally, 128gb is more than enough for me. However, I've found 256gb is the sweet spot for resale value.

Thank you.

One more question: does the trade in create any sort of contract? I just have no idea how they would perform abusing the program by paying trading in for a 13, cancelling and reselling the new phone...seems too good to be true.

As a consumer, there is no need to worry such.

Cel phone sales is a global market matter, new and used. We are fortunate to have this kind of deals in the US.

Used cel phones still command premium prices in other parts of the world.

There is no contract involved.
