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 anyone wants to get the $20 Talk & Text plan without going to a T-Mobile store or Costco, you can get it on T-Mobile's website through chat. They waive the service fee and ship by 2 day express.

Make sure you ask for the postpaid plan or they might try to set you up with one of the T-Mobile Connect prepaid plans.
I did this this morning, and had a sim already so they actigated it over phone, i just cant upgrade on bestbuy site with my new account

Trade in value of S21is valued at $775 (trade in value $400 + trade in promotion $375) regardless of the phone you buy (tried it against iphone 13 pro and S21 ultra). i'm pretty sure it is price mistake. In comparison = S21Plus is $675, S21 Ultra $775, Note 10+ $425. Hope this helps.
Is this at the store only? Online still shows 575

Quote from shopper6 :
I want a 13pro max. It seems that all stores around me will have it by 12/17. Can I order it now and pick it up when it is in stock? Or it must be in store today?
I would place the order now for whatever color is available. At least you lock in the promotion. It's a coin toss regarding the date. It could arrive earlier and it can also arrive later or even get canceled.

It's rare that it gets canceled though. Also, let's say you place the order and out of nowhere one comes in stock at a different store…if you have another line available, you can upgrade that one and let the other one get canceled

Quick question. If the Best Buy reps don't activate the SIM cards in store….can we use them in the future? Always good to have some laying around, just not sure if they will work or not

Traded in today, everything went smooth but they said they have to put tmobile SIM card for activation process. I guess I can't do the AT&T trick since the phone now locked with tmobile

If you use your chase amazon prime cc to buy bestbuy giftcard, does it still give you 5%? If not, use discover to buy Bestbuy giftcard via Amazon and use that to pay for your phone and still get 5%.
Hi again, I have a dilemma on trade in:

I have two WM 12 mini's and originally thought about trading one in for BB $430 gc and one trade in to get the 13 pro max but total out the door is too much:

13 pro max:
$1100 + 110 tax (or 47 in some Cali stores) - 630 mini 12 trade= 580 (or 517)
+300 WM mini 12 + 30tax = 330
Tmobile talk/text only:
+20
=
930 (or 867) - 430 12mini gc + 330 12mini paid = $830 (or 767) Total is much from my packet! Even if trading in for 13 out the door is $500ish.

OR

Trade in current unlocked 12 pro max for $975 for the lowest out of pocket?

13 pro max:
1100 + 110 tax (or 47) - 975 12PM = 235 (or 172)
+ 800ish current 12 PM ebay value + 95tax I paid previously = 895
Tmobile:
+20
=
1130 (1077) - 860 miniGC + 660 = 930 (877)
Even though the full 860 gc was not applied I incorporated it sine total for 13 PM is 235 so used it to pay the least from pocket.

Conclusion:
Think trading in my unlocked 12 PM cost the least of of pocket it seems,
But if there is a Total Wireless 12 PM avail then I can get that and trade that in for 975 and keep my unlocked 12 PM.

I put in the order on Monday saw the same thing. Every store in my Houston area showed pickup date on Dec 17.
I went to the store and ask those guys about it and they told me it's another nationwide launch day of Apple iPhones for Bestbuy. Anyone gets any sooner?
I kept checking Bestbuy website 2-3 times a day since Monday but they all show Dec 17. Heck I even have a nightmare about that day that Bestbuy send out "your order is cancelled".

If we change plan to the $20 after signing up for the Magenta plan at Costco, will affect the $300 BYOD promo which in progress?

Did anyone ever give a clear answer on exactly what happens then if for some reason you have to return the new phone?

Send them a message saying that, they will re-process it.
Last time this happened to me, rep said that the unlock needed supervisor approval.
