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!

if this is for personal use:

Back up your devices before going in !!!

Come on people !
You are making it worse for the Best Buy reps and other customers waiting in line.

These should be less than 10 minute transactions but if you are not backing up your devices and having to backup in the store, it will take long!

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank chaoss

Just unlocked the 2 13's that I picked up.

Did the ATT trick. Still going strong.

FYI- Went to Best Buy yesterday and they said the promotion ends on the 5th. And that, they only know for a week at at time how long it'll last. So, it's possible on the 5th or 6th, they'll get another notice that it's good for another week.

Missed out on the $299 Straight Talk deal at WalMart but there was one remaining in my area for $349. Ordered it last night for pickup but got message this morning that it was OOS. Checked again and saw it listed as in-stock. Rolled the dice and placed the order again and got confirmation less than 90 minutes later that it was ready for pickup.

On the T-Mobile $20 Talk & Text plan, is there any charge for the SIM - their website seems to say it could be an extra $25 for their SIM starter kit.

I don't think a 7+ will get you much as far as trade in values to T-Mobile. Not sure what exactly you are trying to do.

Do you want to fully pay a newer device with trade in or do you want to do a trade in with eip credits?
Thanks . I'm aware with the 7+ plus you don't get much trade-in value . I don't like the monthly credits. I can pay-off the difference immediately. All I'm trying to get a good offer with a new-line & trade-in . Thanks

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!
That is super intrusive and abusive.

Are they documenting this type of info for everyone?

It is alarming that they want this info while selling you a phone that can be used as a tracking device.

I assume they are documenting this for trade ins. An earlier comment in this thread said they took a picture of her. Oh, and they take your fingerprint too. I guess Facebook/Meta needs to confirm all the info they have is up to date 👎

Does the ATT method work on iphone from costco?
If you get out the door with the iPhone still sealed in the box it will work. If the folks at the kiosk put their SIM in the phone you are out of luck. Costco stock is "flex policy" just like BestBuy.

100% SEGMA98 tried unlocking it thru TMO without having put the TMO sim in first.

Just like the other user yesterday who appeared to have tried to unlock his ST 12 minis with the ATT trick and failed
Is there anyone that can confirm that the "other user" tried the ATT method properly. I am just trying to see if I can unlock the ST Iphone 12 mini with the ATT method.

Thx

You can't unlock a st phone with att sim, only flex policy lock phones. All those straight talk phones from Walmart and sams club can't be unlocked this way, the 12 mini

Yes as long as no one put a sim in the phone when purchased.
