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!

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

Did the ATT trick. Still going strong.
I'm getting my ATT sim today and will do the ATT trick.

When it ask's if you're an ATT customer on the 2nd page do you say Yes or No?

After that I'm just assuming enter the information the screen asks for?

Thanks

To unlock using ATT method, do we need to input our personal information to the ATT unlock website as mentioned in the wiki?
What if we use made-up stuff so that ATT later cannot track you for the specific device? Will that work, any thoughts?
You have to use a email other then that you can makeup whatever but why bother

Say no that should be on first page are you a current att customer. You hit no and then it will ask for your imei and then fill in all the other info. Make sure you don't use Hotmail, for some reasons I never got my confirmation emails on that.

Does visible run a CC check?

Looks like I can't do the best buy promo because my account is a biz one. Even though it's running off a social. Sigh. $500 trade in loss from my XS Max. 😕
No they don't

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)
question is how long did you have to wait AFTER TForce confirmed the unlock for the auto-unlock to happen... ? 3 days ?

Within 12 hours of confirmed unlock status mine did not auto-unlock so I went ahead w/ the full reset.

Also, did you possibly put in a non-TMO SIM ? as that would also auto-unlock as I posted.

No, did not remove the t-mobile Sim. T-force indicated they had to submit a request to Apple and gave me a specific date when the request was expected to be processed which was 3 business days after contacting them. You maybe able to speed the process up by doing a reset but I wasn't in a rush. Just waited. The confirmation actually came after the unlock had occurred.

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 😂
What if they activate the new phone? Will I still be able to unlock it and cancel the T-Mobil service?

From what I understand you can't let them activate in store on Tmo if you want to use the ATT unlock trick. If they do activate in store and you aren't a Tmo customer, some have had luck with chatting with Tmo support (T Force) to get the phone unlocked.

Edit-
If you're not doing the ATT trick, then you'll have to contact T-force and wait a few days

In California, if you order and pay online, you will be charged on the full price of the phone. If you go into the store and do everything and pay there, then tax is only charged based on what you actually pay, i.e. the price of the phone after subtracting trade in value.
It's great to learn something new everyday as I just did. thanks.

So I can cancel the service as soon as the phone is unlock right? I thought it was just taking few days to unlock the phone and cancel the service after that?

Yep, cancel after unlock although sounds like best deal is to tell best buy not to active it. I heard others said its a Christmas present and they wanted it sealed as an excuse
