Many will want to use this offer to swap out the old phones sitting in their desk drawers. Here is the best way to do it, avoiding activation fees and out of stock stores.
1. Locate your trade in phone. Ensure it does not have a cracked screen, and that it turns on. Factory reset it. Write down the IMEI number, make, model, and color. This can be any phone as long as it meets these conditions, even candy bar from 1999.
2. Call TMobile (dial 611). Say "activation"
3. Inform the CS that you want to take advantage of the OnePlus Nord 200 5G trade in offer. Specify which line, and provide CS the details in step #1. Request that the activation fee be waived.
4. Provide a CC# to pay for the tax (~$20).
5. You will get an email for a JUMP! lease. Open it in DocuSign, and sign it. ENSURE that the details are correct - Nord 200 5G in exchange for the exact phone you detailed in #1. After signing, you will get a confirmation email and tracking #. You will also get a shipping label (see below if you don't get it in your email). Print the whole document in color as directed, or print just the shipping label in B&W and see step #6.
6. When the Nord 200 5G arrives, use the same box (so you don't have to print the lithium battery warning label in color - there's one on it) and put your old phone in. Make sure that it is fully charged, that it is wiped, and if it is an Apple device, that you have disabled device tracking. Remember to remove your sim card, and any SD memory cards. You do NOT need to include cables or chargers. Alternatively, see step #7.
7. You can also go to an Tmobile Store (not authorized dealer). Inform them of where you are on the promotion, and tell them that you would like to turn the phones in to them in person. Ask them to look up your account and verify with you that these are the same phones by IMEI. Do not leave without a receipt for each phone you turn in, and save that receipt.
The way it works:
- You pay tax
- You get new phone
- You turn in old phone
- Each month you get a $9 charge
- Each month you get a $9 credit.

Step 2) Root it and install Android 11 on it
Step 3) Enjoy all the features it has that are better than the Nord N200
Step 4) Instead of buying a yearly plan for ~$15/month through an MVNO, pay T-Mobile ludicrous amounts for their garbage plans so you can get a statement credit and a new Oneplus Nord N200.
Hard pass.

You have to be on a T-Mobile plan to take advantage of this "free" phone (that requires you to trade in a phone first). T-mobile has garbage coverage outside of cities. Also, from T-Mobile's own website, MM costs between 47-57$ per line per month.
Call me shocked and 30 years with ATT first as Rogers, then ATT, then Southwestern Bell, then Cingular and back to ATT I am cutting ties next month.
2 Weeks ago, I got the T-Mobile Home internet added external antennas and am getting 850-900 down and 75 up on average. 50.00 a month. No caps (yet) are a good deal. I'll test it for a few more weeks but if things stay as they are COX is getting the AX next.
Turning 55 saved me 10 per device and the home internet is only 40.00 in fees so that alone is a huge help. So, I got 3 phones and 2 tablets. and home internet for less than 150.00 per month. Magenta Max on the phones Unlimited data on tablet plans. And decent coverage.
I can't complain when ATT was charging 207.00 for the same devices and Cox is charging
109.00 for internet. 1K
I'm sure they will screw it up but I am going to take it for now.
Only additional 5 or 7 dollars for Netflix premium service.
EDIT: That will tie up all 7 of your lines, though. If you were thinking of doing a flagship phone deal on possible Mother's Day deal, or say the holidays, you would need to pay off the balance of the "free" phone before doing so. You'll still get the monthly credits for the N200 or Revvl, but it will move to account level credits, so that you can do another financed deal on same line.

Or got deeply discounted flagship phones from TMo when they were introduced this year and last with trade-ins. I don't mind 24-month payments on those.
This cheap Chinese stuff loses support in a year or less. It's been out for a year, so it's now ancient and about to be discontinued.
