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.

So I agree. My next phone will probably be a Oneplus, since LG stopped making phones, but I see little point to buying lower midrange phones like this when older flagships are equivalent but cheaper. And yes, you are buying a Nord or something like this, even though it is "$0," since it is via bill credits for TWO YEARS. I'd much rather buy upfront and not be tied to a company or plan for that long. People will scoff at the idea of buying a V30 now, but it actually makes a lot of sense.

It's a shame there's almost no phone manufacturers that include headphone jack and microsd. I really want to like the Oneplus, but after my Nexus 5X died I swore I'd never have a phone without microsd. The Xiaomi redmi looks nice, but not waterproof.
