Best Buy's page if you want to activate an unlocked device as part of the order says "We're currently only able to activate service on this unlocked device with Verizon, Google Fi Wireless and AT&T."

But that doesn't mean the phone isn't compatible with T-Mobile, it probably means they don't stock T-Mobile SIMs and service. Do you have a source that says this unlocked phone from Best Buy will not take a T-Mobile SIM?

Also, trade-in note at checkout if you're selecting store pickup is "Bring your trade-in device to the store when you pick up your new item."

30% of this thread is people claiming (without providing solid evidence) that they traded in multiple pones withe enhanced TIVs. The other 40%, is people arguing with them.

One pic will end the discussion. Somewhat though as we know anything Best Buy is YMMV. What one rep was able to do is not always what another will be able or willing to do.
Frankly I plan to bring alone a second phone and try my luck but I certainly wouldn't bother to reply to this thread even if I have successfully got the enhanced TIV . As you said why this thing is always YMMV.. and given so many people here love to has strong believe on certain things... why brother and what in it to upload anything. I am happy if I got it done and whether other people can get the same deal is not my concern

You don't know how to us Microsoft Paint? Take the selection tool and put the rectangular box over any identifying information and press "delete" on your keyboard. That is one of the easiest things to do. Did you grow up with computer technology. It's kind of shocking that someone buying a Pixel 8 doesn't know how to edit a photo? Like why wouldn't you just buy a tracphone if you don't know how to use technology? Covereyes

Picsart on android is free and lets you edit photos too.

As this kind of thing is YMMV, so even if I am able to do it doesn't guarantee other will replicate.

And this is not rocket science, all you need to do is bring along a second phone talk to the rep and ask them. Everyone has a second phone could try with or without any success data point.
I don't see how someone successful do it at a local store with help others.

In fact it probably will hurt the chance of others if people start to upload receipt etc and people expected this can be done and show all these receipt at BB store. Eventually one of the manager will communicate to the head office and they will issue some kind of memo telling every store that THIS CAN'T BE DONE AT ALL which probably will kill the chance for everyone.

The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club.
Same rule for any YMMV deal

Went in this morning and it went relatively smoothly overall.
A few key points (YMMV):
-Received the se3 from walmart in the morning, took the phone out, switched it on, and didn't enter all the unnecessary information until I saw the desktop of the phone.
-Go to "about" in the menu, display the imei number, hold it in your hand, save some time, you can keep other things in the box, BB just needs the machine itself. Of course you can leave the box in the car in case of problems.
-There aren't many shop assistants at BB who can operate trade-in, I'm afraid, you may have to queue.
-Just tell them the se3 belongs to verizon.
-$160 and $300 no problem, but the clerk who processed my trade-in took out a $160 BB GC, deducted $300 when paying, then paid $160 with that GC, I paid the rest $240. the result of this is that the tax is calculated from $400, not $240.
-The included earbuds are only available in black.

BB always can trade in 3 devices. the question is whether the others device can get eromotion Trade in value.. you are sharing nothing new and you can find those info at their website.

I have no idea why people are running around BB asking question which people on this thread has repeated more than dozen timesConfused
