Did you get the 15$ shipping and 35$ fee waived?
Of course, I don't pay that nonsense helps I have an older account, if they are adamant ask to speak with supervisor or tell them You will pay now but credit it back to account, they should have no issues.

I put my sim into an unlocked iPhone 4 for 2 days now. The signal is showing 3G. But so far no promo for me yet. Only have that normal "up to $400 trade-in value" promo which my iPhone 4 only given $100.

Still waiting for $430 promo to popup..
don't wait just go and show them the promo p038 and they will find it

Got this deal to work for my parents. I knew my mom had a 5c somewhere. I went there, switched SIM cards. Made some calls and texts. Logged into their account and the 5c showed on their account. I couldn't find the deal so called and asked if they qualified for P038. They guy did some checking and said the phone qualified.

Yes. The 430 is in bill credits. I paid the tax up front so monthly it's around 27 a month after the 17.xx bill credit each month. I plan to pay it off early like I always do though
May I know how did you managed to get Iphone 13 pro? Online or In-store or chat or call with customer service?

this doesn't seem to work for the 55+ plan, or at least I couldn't get it to show up after a few days

I just got a used iPhone 5 on eBay for 35 dollars. Popped in a SIM card and traded it in. I asked to get the iPhone SE but then just went with an iPhone 11 for 60 dollars out of pocket

Did the promo showed up on your account after you insert the card or did you call or chat?

Are you sure you don't lose the monthly credit if you pay off the phone early? I just did and the promo/credit vanished form my account. The phone is still showing under my completed EIPs. I have to wait next billing cycle to see if I will get the usual credit before I contact T mobile.
don't finish paying the device; it's pretty much gets rid of credits similar if you were to cancel wireless line

Frown I think I screwed up then. There is conflicting information out there. Hopefully a chat with CS will undo the damage.

they count it as a regular upgrade but it's a bonus trade in value if you have a 3g device which is practically worth more than a vast amount of other trades in devices such as up to iphone 11 only trades in to about $350

iphone 5 is now a $430 which is crazy

the main requirement is to obtain a rare 8 year old phone and whatever phone you upgrade to will be pro rated

the maximum credit per month as it states is $17.92/month x24 months

if you get anything else above that then you pay a difference

only catch is it's locked to t-mobile until it's paid in full but if you pay it off early then you void the rest of the credits over the remaining 24 months
