⚠️ You are limited to one promotional bill credit at a time per line ⚠️ If the line already has promotional bill credits from old promotions you will lose those credits. You MUST pay off the device to move the credits over to the account level to sign up for new Recurring device credits on that line. THIS WORDING IS DIRECTLY FROM T-MOBILE'S website support page for RDC Recurring device credits also known as promotional bill credits. So DO NOT DO THIS ON A LINE THAT HAS BILL CREDITS ATTACHED TO IT.Tips for getting the free device
" You may have one Recurring Device Credits (RDC) promo per line at a time. To get a new Recurring Device Credits (RDC) promo and keep your current credit, you must pay off the existing EIP first.
If you pay off your EIP early, you'll continue to receive the promised Recurring Device Credits (RDC) as an account-level credit through the remaining months of the promotional credit period (up to 24 or 36 months)."

Best way to buy the Velvet (or other free device):
1. Open T-Mobile app on your phone and go to "Account" tab
2. Tap the big square with your line in it. It's ok if that's not the line you're going to put the velvet on.
3. Tap "Upgrade device"
4. Tap "all devices"
5. If a popup shows asking what you'd like to do today, close it with the X at the top right
6. At the top, be sure the dropdown says "You are upgrading a current device"
7. Scroll to the very bottom and find the velvet and tap it
8. Hit upgrade my line. From there you can pick which line to actually buy the device on.

Presumably the only reason the LG is on this list is because they've abandoned the Android market. Otherwise, it does not belong in the category of free phone and will surely go out of stock VERY quickly after this deal goes live. The other freebie Samsung phones are somewhere between cruel jokes and OK as a dummy device to run your remote control app.

Good luck!

Be careful about posting info as fact if you are just guessing. I see a trend on this site of many SDers now posting opinion or what they believe to be true as actual fact, when in reality it is complete BS.
So if that is the case here, please amend your comment that this is just your opinion that these are refurbs, unless of course you have actual proof.
Just trying to prevent unnecessary drama here as well as confusion for others who actually believe half the BS that is posted on this site
When I first bought it last time, I saw similar double stickers on Seal, why put 2 stickers for Seal only on this particular phone? I have bought so many devices from T-Mobile in last 8+ years that I have been with T-Mobile and never saw this issue with any other phone.
Again, I'm not complaining. For $36.48 that I paid for this phone it is a steal. I have no plan of flipping it and will probably use it again as trade-in for next phone.
So, is my impulse to buy 30-40 phones a yr. Ahaha
