Targeted offer? T-mobile website doesn't show this promotion. iPhone SE3 has currently 400 off when trading in certain higher end phones, not worth it.

I still have a 3G device on one of my lines and keep getting "offers" to upgrade, but when I click the links they go nowhere. Same with this link. I'm on a grandfathered SC plan though, so that might be why.

I did the same thing you said, but not showing.
Maybe because I am using a Sprint unlocked 5S. And it is on a free line. Will wait for a few days and see if it shows.

Sometimes with TMO you have to order with blind faith. Sometimes their order system only shows the fair market TIV when ordering, not the promo value. If you see the $430 offer show up on account, take screenshot, contact T-Force to verify you're eligible, and the order online. Leave the old phone on the line until phone ships to just to be safe. . .

I have an old xperia that they have been sending me emails to upgrade. When I log in, I see the promo listed under the iphone se 3rd gen but unfortunately the xperia isn't one of the eligible phones. My question is, can I just grab any iphone that's on the list and trade that in? Do I have to connect it to the line for it to be active?

I would activate old iPhone on line for a week and then see if they let you trade it in
