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 I'm going to actually use this iPhone 13 on Tmobile, is there any advantage to unlocking it with the ATT sim first? I assume I can unlock it later if/when I sell it one day, right?
The only advantage would be if you're traveling internationally and don't have high speed internet in your plan, then you could pop in a local sim and use it.
If you're using it on T-Mobile and staying within the US for 40+ days, no need to go get an AT&T sim, just contact support after 40 days and they will unlock it then.

So here's my story. Decided to go into store and do the order. Had a really nice guy help me out. Ask phone number and friends social. I have friends phone and number too of T-Mobile. Guy sends verification code but I never received it. Guy sends again nothing. All morning at home I was getting the texts when I tried to do the order online. Guy calls into T-Mobile to see what's up they tell me to restart phone, still nothing. He tried to send verification to email but he sees no email in account so that doesn't help. Overall spent hour in store with nothing. Guy was really great though, tried all he could. I guess if this is the last day it wasn't meant to be. Will try online again but nothing going through

Hey everyone just want thank this amazing community!

I finally traded in my 12PM (I miss that blue already) and picked up a graphite 13PM. The AT&T trick was super easy and successfully unlocked the phone in minutes.

Btw I was surprised to learn that the $975 breaks into $775 from BB and $200 from T-mobile as it wasn't mentioned anywhere on their website or even her e on slickdeals. I thought the whole amount was from BB.

That graphite is hot color. I got the S Blue, only due to no stock initially. Though later order was graphite.

Yes, the $200 trade bonus was discussed here as many tried to figure the tax part.

Btw, Cali Sder, BB did change instore purchase to the same tax as online

The trade in values aren't the same

Trading in an iPhone 12 Pro 128gb on T-Mobile shows $900 for a trade in

Trading in the same phone on Sprint shows $700.

You'll have to go through the process to see what your trade in value would be. Just select the phone, add to cart for the correct carrier. Click 'upgrade' on the next screen and add a trade device to find your credit.
