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!
Jon
Did you read the whole post? Maybe you should do that first
Trade-in devices will never come back. No matter where you do the tradein bestbuy, verizon, att, apple etc etc..

I just got my TW iPhone 12 mini from Walmart and wondering what's the best trade in option available now? Is it still the T-Mobile iPhone 13 mini available? Some said Costco was an option as well?

Alright, completely different experiences here. Chatted w/ TForce again. They confirmed unlock status has been granted but can only be achieved by two ways
(1) insert a non-TMO SIM card or
(2) fully reset the iphone

I had them confirm this twice.

Since I did not have another nano-sim card, I did do a full phone reset. Before the reset the phone was still showing "SIM locked" restriction, after the phone reset, immediately after initial set up, Settings > About > Carrier Lock now shows "No SIM restrictions"
I've unlocked 3 devices through T-Force and never had to do any of these things. Mine unlocked automatically about 3 days after contacting them. This was also on 3 different device types (mini, 13 and pro)

Can I upgrade the same number twice?
Yesterday, I picked up a Pixel 6 pro and traded in iphone mini 12 #1
This morning, I selected iPhone 13 pro and will trade iphone mini 12 #2
Bestbuy asked for the cell number my last 4 SSN, received a confirmation that I can upgrade.
Worried if Tmo or Bestbuy will claw back the credit.

Costco is good for opening up a Tmobile account and adding lines
Although I think I read that some Best Buy stores were requiring that a tmobile had to be open for a certain number of days.
I'm not sure, there's a lot of information at this point.

Here was my issue.
I did some trades early on around October.
This week, I tried to do an upgrade on a line and I received an error saying something about too many orders on that line.
I picked a different line that I didn't make any upgrades to and it went through fine.
Picking 2 orders up later today. Hope it goes well

So Costco is in person? Are they checking if the phone is unlocked? I don't plan to use t mobile as soon as my phone is unlocked

Costco and Best Buy are both in person
it all depends on your rep if they check.
Don't go to Best Buy asking unnecessary questions.

Don't provide a SSN, ask for the no credit check option, I did mine at a costco kiosk.
Are you saying there is an option in-store at BB to get the iPhone without providing SSN, etc, a credit check? If so, that is good news. Thanks. As far as I can tell, the online order process requires SSN, etc.

Not sure if Best Buy gives you the option, but I've done it at Costco, just ask for a no credit check line, I don't recall if they asked for my social but nothing showed up on any of my credit reports.

I did it about 3 months ago, the only thing is they approved me for 3 lines only, not sure if that matters to you.

Guys,
I need some expert advice. My brother family wants to upgrade their phone. They are currently with AT&T using iPhone 7 Plus with an new line to be added.

I suggested them to do the T-mobile offer at costco. - Buy iPhone, get $720 in mastercard with a new line added and also you get $300 costco cash card.

Is the above Costco offer the best at the moment when compared to this Best Buy offer? Pls suggest.

Thanks in advance,

Just completed BB pickup for an ordered iPhone 13 Pro that was not in stock. Got notification it was available for pickup this morning (2 weeks earlier than order estimate).
Traded in ST 12 mini with no problems. I asked them to not activate new phone and it was no issue- just gave me the new Tmo SIM card.
It is a little alarming how much info they type in for the trade in info. Basically everything on my drivers license. Name, address, hair/eye color, etc. but she did put in a random weight! Got a new iPhone today and lost about 30 lbs in the process 😂

Cancellation Policy. You may cancel your Rate Plan by going back to the original point of purchase and returning all devices you acquired with your activation within 30 days from your activation date (Cancellation Period). You may have to pay a restocking fee for any Device you return.

What did you put in for the carrier for your iPhone 12mini?
