I have an iPhone 5 on my talk and text line. Denied upgrade by T-Force on Twitter and by the "Experts" in Albuquerque call center. Both said, not b/c of the plan, but b/c I was not pre-selected which would have included the email notice.
Pretty frustrated until I read here a couple of days ago to use the chat feature on the app. Got an agent in the Philippines who pushed everything thru, but it did take the better part of an hour. He did not even mention the email notice thing. Just said that I qualified b/c I had the correct phone handset on the account and the P038 was for people like me. (Also waived the $35 fee, so only paid tax).
I also took screen shots of chat, but it appears that things will go thru as promised.
The only hurdle now is to see if they receive the phone I send back (pristine condition) and don't some how reject it. Since this thread is just about a week old we have not had a chance to hear back from anyone whose submitted old phones are accepted or not. Waiting....................................
A while back, Tmo had a similar type of deal that only worked on old phones that were active during a window that closed a month or so before the promo was announced. Basically what they wanted to do is to entice people with old phones to update, and NOT what some of us (including myself) are trying to do by buying a cheap used old iPhone to take advantage of his promo. If i remember correctly, the IMEI of the device had to have been used in your account within the past year or two.
I think this promo is very similar to that, but not well specified (thus some of us are having luck with the rep through chat).
Also, iPhone 11 is $70 more in this deal, plus you will be paying a bit more tax, so that needs to be considered too when comparing actual end costs.
As for TIV, it is always a crapshoot with older model phones when trying to predict TIV, so it will all depend on the future deal to see under which tier the 11 falls. Seems like the 11 is nearing the point where it may begin dropping into the lower tier TIVs, so that is a bit of a gamble as it might not rake in a higher TIV when traded as expected.
On the other hand, trade in values usually suck on the SE models compared to the non-SE iPhones. But this one being nearly free from the outset puts it a step ahead of the game, so receiving almost any reasonable TIV for it would be a win in the future.
I bought the SE 3 because I walk/jog outside and wanted a small iPhone to carry, and I wanted a physical home button, which I prefer when working out. If I really wanted a full size iPhone, I would have just ponied up the extra cash for the 13 since this deal is basically $430 off a new one and the balance can be paid off in 24 monthly installments.
But I understand it is for your daughter, so the 11 is probably a great choice for the price when all is said and done. And most importantly, I am sure she will enjoy it and appreciate having such a thoughtful dad to buy one for her.

I mentioned to a T-Force rep that I was planning on dropping off my iPhone 4 at a local T-Mobile store tomorrow, and she made it seem like mailing it was a better option.
She implied that the T-Mobile store employees tend to often mess things up. Maybe in her job she just sees all of the screw-ups and has to help fix them, so that is her perspective.
She said if I decide to drop it off at a store, I should make sure to choose a T-Mobile corporate store. Just wondering now if I should go that route or just mail it as usual.
