Quote from Davidhn23 :
Anyone know if phones from other carriers are eligible? Looking to get phone off of eBay but not sure if I need specific T-Mobile devices.
Trade-in requirements:
Does this device meet the following conditions?
The device stays powered on
The screen on my device is free of cracks (scratches and scuffs are acceptable)
The device has never been damaged by liquid or moisture
Find My iPhone must be turned off

Carrier locked devices are okay, regardless of which carrier. Established refurbishers can easily unlock devices by submitting a request to the phone's manufacturer. The phone however, cannot be Apple or Google locked (lost or stolen).

Hmm I'm on SWACPLCM and can't seem to add a line nor do I get the BOGO offer, might have to discuss in-store or customer service

So if I add an additional line with this promo is the device tethered to that line? I don't want my 10 year old with the new line with a Apple 16 Pro and rather give him a hand-me-down Apple 12 Pro, can I swap devices to an existing line without losing the promo?

I'm on essentials and I got my SOC and it's on the list. I was told previously I could only add one more line in my plan as I have 5 lines already. If I go for this deal I'll need add two lines (one free and one paying line) and that will change my plan. Is that right?

YMMV, but I still have not received the trade-in credits from 5 years ago after spending 50+ hours on the phone with reps, twitter reps, chat reps. Even considered suing them. I figured it just is not worth my time any more but I would not recommend T-mobile to my worst enemy especially if it involves "trade-in".
Filling a complaint with the FCC is where you will get your resolution.

BOGO ID240574 [reddit.com]. If you see that applied on your online cart, then you can get it online. But typically it's nicer just to get a confirmation from a person, and GCs from costco / sams club or unlocked from apple.

Who are the business geniuses at T-Mobile who come up with these promotions?

To get the latest phone, all I need to do is switch to Mint Mobile, then switch back after six months or so. They're rewarding people for LEAVING their business.

What's more is they kept sending me emails claiming I could upgrade to iPhone 16 for free, then they tell me I need to pay $48 a month for it.

Who are these boneheads that T-Mobile hires? If you can't figure out, after 4 years of service with them, I took advantage of the Mint Mobile deal and paid $600 for a full year of three lines with unlimited service. No more T-Mobile! Bye!!!

Is this if you join Go5g Plus or Next? I'm on a Magenta 55+ plan for $35 each line, trading in direct with Apple would be cheaper in the long term vs doing this with T-Mobile due to the higher plan cost
These t mobile "deals" no longer work with older Magenta plans. They want to force us to move to the more expensive go5 plans.

Yes, someone on reddit recommended just that. Also, people suggested emailing CEO of.t-mobile as well. Ultimately, I decided to file class suit against them since there were a lot of victims on reddit. Long story short, it was just too much work filing the class suit when my personal life was just loaded with other to-dos. So, I just considered it as a loss and just let others know when T-mobile trade-in deals pop up. But thanks, I will try the complaints to FCC.

Yep. Got my deal 3.5 years ago, when the iPhone 12 was the newest. Could trade in an iPhone 8 for 830 dollars, which only cost about 240 dollars second hand. You could keep your Magenta plan, at the time. That deal was much better.

They are just trying to get people on expensive plans.

The bill credits will be tied to the new lines, but the phones themselves can be used on any T-mobile line on any T-mobile account.
