A) Cannot be unlocked by third party services
:
B) Must be activated on Straight Talk for one year to get unlock from the carrier C) Can be "soft" unlocked using RSIM. Only unlocks the physical SIM slot, not the eSim. Soft unlock will last until/unless you reset the phone or take an update through iTunes. (No one in their right mind should be doing the latter at this point). RSIM will continue to work if you take an over-the-air update. |
- Trade-in value of $630.
- You need to currently be on T-Mobile; otherwise you'll need to sign up for a new plan which will have a hard credit pull. Cheapest plan is $65/month for people who aren't seniors, first responders, etc.
- Remove the phone from the box and keep the accessories as they only want the phone.
- They will be checking the screen condition and looking for cracks on the back.
- They will power on the device to see the display condition (you can charge the phone ahead of time).
- They will check the IMEI number and whether Find my iPhone was turned off under your Apple ID settings
- No need to mention which provider and lock status.
- Remember you need to go to Mobile section at Best Buy and not the Pick Up counter.
- There are reports that your new T-Mobile phone from the Best Buy deal can be unlocked in less than a week (within 1 to 3 days); contact the T-Mobile support (T-Force) team on Twitter or Facebook and request unlock.
- Sometimes the unlock process can take longer as iPhones are not bought from T-Mobile directly and are not in their database. They have to submit an email request internally to Apple to get the IMEI unlocked. Once unlock confirmed, check under "Settings > General > About". "Carrier Lock" entry should show "No SIM restrictions".
- After the phone is unlocked, cancel the T-Mobile plan; ask them to pro-rate any current charges.

iPhone 13Pro =. 999
iPhone 12mini Trade in. -630 - Also assuming i would never active, just give BB new unactivated phone
Total 369 + 321.43(price of iphone 12 mini from walmart)
690.43 for the phone but I would have to probably buy t-mobile service which is $60 - keep it active for maybe a month and then switch it back to my $20 tmobile business. line
so 750 for a $1000 phone?
You are just paying more for phone plan that your not going to need just to get a phone for cheaper now?
And it's 24 Bill credited so it's not same as cash in those instance
