How much do you expect for a non-carrier promotion for a 4-year old base model phone?

AT&T & T-Mobile offer $1K value for iPhone 12 with their premium plans. Many are buying it for trading in with their carrier. Already got a 12 from Metro last deal, which was $50 more.

Keeping my current phones (13 and higher) as spares so I can trade these in instead for less.

If you don't auto-pay or extend service, there is nothing to cancel. You just stop paying. Based on what I have read, device should auto unlock after 12 months from activation and continued service is not required.

Check out the unlock policy link I shared earlier.

Fudge this phone. 64 gb of internal storage is really small guys. the ios software already takes up half of it or even more and all your left with is about 20 gb of storage. I would only get this phone if they have an External SD card slot

Apple website shows up to $180 trade-in value for the iPhone 12. So much for iPhones holding onto their trade in values

Google is offering about $130 for trading in a pixel 6 for a pixel 9

That's only 3 years old

So it's not just Apple lowering trade in values.

You don't cancel you let it lapse...

I am not deleting that number. I am removing the linked number and trying to use that linked number to get a new GV number in a new google account. When getting a new GV number in a new account it asks for a real number to verify and it seems i cannot use any number that i used before. So i am limited by real numbers to verify.

I also tried an old google account which had a GV at some point but that GV is gone and a cannot get a new GV number using same number to verify.

GV doesnt like it when you claim multiple numbers from same phone number.

It used to be easier years ago

So if I buy this and then cancel my plan and let it sit in a drawer for 12 months, can I unlock it after that?

If phone unlocks after 12 months, this is not a good deal. Metro is becoming stingy with its deals.

The issue i am seeing is that when i try to use same number to verify a new GV number it says it cannot verify using that even though i have removed that number from other GV linked number. Somewhere i was reading GV allow to use a number to verify only once in life. It is hard to believe but if that is true then i cannot get any more GV number.

Yes GV is quite strict, they say it's to prevent fraudulent use (ie- spammers)
