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.

When we do the tradein with this iphone 12 mini and upgrade it at best buy do they charge tax on full price of iphone of just the difference amount?
Online order = tax on full retail price of the purchased device (for me it's not taxing $200 portion of t-mobile discount but can change at store when I do pick up, some else who already picked up can confirm that). In-store order = tax on the total balance after trade in value applied. Clear as mud?

but most of us were charged on the difference
when I traded my 12 pro I only had to pay $100 + $7 tax

Can anyone let me know how much will it cost every month for the straight talk plan. I am planning to get it for my school going kid who doesn't need much data.
Oh, I see so your order was ready or pickup until 11/29 and you won't get the 12 mini until 12/1? So if someone were to order and their phone won't be ready until after 12/1, they'd still get the deal even if Best Buy stops this promotion tomorrow for example?
