Guys, if you do not see anything, my suggestion is to call T-Mobile and ask if you are eligible for offer P038.

At which point do you see a $430 credit? TForce said my line #3 is eligible for this offer, but I've put a sim in my iPhone 3gs that has line #4. So I'm kinda confused.
After adding MEID number, I used the IMEI field.
You have to start the "get quote" process, and then I switched default trade in phone.
This was all done online, no call to Tmo, much faster per my previous experiences as agents may give you different info.

They are giving this UMTS offer to all the lines so far I'm getting it on lines that arent even specifically indicated for umts just do it online dont talk to reps don't ask questions, take screenshots of the $430 offer and plow through while it lasts! methinks its an error on some accounts! No need to have a preexisting 3g iphone either if the offer displays on screen just run with it, there were some time it timed out but restarting in incognito mode worked.

Granted it is still an overpriced iphone but good to get rid of 3g devices and better then the other umts offers.

I put a sim in my 3gs and it shows that I'm using the xs, but the correct IMEI # though.

I just did this offer, kinda successful. TForce verified that one of my line was qualified for this offer, I couldn't see it on the web so I had them to help me order the iphone 13, $35 assist fee applies. I got the text that I can bring the trade in to the store, did that an hour ago, but when they submit my trade they couldn't find my exact model, which is the 32gb, so they put the 8gb instead. I'm just hoping this won't mess up my credits.

I'm only seeing the usual "up to $400 off" trade-in offers to buy a $400 SE (3)

HOWEVER, SE (1) devices are getting a higher than normal value of $100

my 13 mini is valued at $350
my 12 pro is valued at $365
my 7+ is valued at $35
my 6s are valued at $10

but
my SE (1) are valued at $100

not what I'm looking for, but maybe helpful to somebody else with SE (1) devices

Will old 3G phones just stop being able to surf the web or will calls and text also stop working? I have some old legendary Nokia phones I still like to use every now and then.

Pretty much put the the SIM card into eligible iPhones and wait. The system will let you to process the trade or worst case contact the customer service?
