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.

I got "Please contact us to complete your order. Your security is important to us. Unfortunately can't complete your order online."

Update: Chat with agent who told me iPhone 12 is OOS.
Update 2: I gave it another try and found my number showed as "Unfortunately, this number can't be transferred. Try another number or choose a new number to continue." Looks like I have to wait till the number is returned back to my current carrier.

This would have been awesome a few weeks back for pixel trade in. They paid $800 for this at best buy

I did that for my wife and kept her 13 mini. Wondering if I should get one more for later.

I tried to port using my GV but it was not unlocked. While doing the port it failed. I then paid $3 to unlock it but now it keeps saying this number can't be transferred. Have I basically lost my $3? Anything else I can try?

Same experience here .. I had to delete my GV number, get a new number, pay again for unlock and then it worked

At what point do you receive this message? After entering payment information?

I did… i bought GV (i have to buy twice coz of errors) $3
Make sure you unlock it first in settings…
Set up PIN by turning on "call to listen" in voicemail tab…(i suggest 6 digit pin)
Wait about an hour
And then place the order

I keep getting errors and this is the only one that worked for me…
I first paid for the unlocking 6pm then I read that I need to set the pin and set it up at 8:30pm, should I wait the get it unlocked? Do I get an email that confirms it is ready to unlock? And last, does the account number is my phone number when I start the port in process on metro?

Once you get this message after entered the payment details, no chances to order again in Metro. They flagged your name, address, credit card details and IP. If you have other address and CC, you can try.

I got the same issue "Your number transfer cannot be transferred at this time.
You must cancel your transfer to continue." not sure if I need to cancel to continue with a new #...Then I guess I will be charged on the phone if a new # is assigned?

Did you get any device from Metro in past? If yes, it is better to avoid this deal.
