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".

I had the same issue getting my credits a few years ago. They finally just flat out said I wasn't eligible.

I couldn't talk to anyone in the US. So frustrating.

I filled out a BBB complaint and instantly got a call from a very nice woman who solved my problem instantly.

Try that.

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.

We ported in to T-Mobile about 4 years ago. They had a promo for the Magenta Max 55+, giving us Samsung S20 FE phones for free. 7 months later, they had the Mother's DayiPhone 12 promo, so we traded in the Samsungs (which were problematic -constant crashes and reboots) but had to pay them off, and got the iPhones. The bill credits continued and the iPhone bill credits started. Then, in about 15 months, they had another iPhone deal and the Samsung credits had just ended. We traded in the 12's for iPhone 14's. Had to pay off the balance, but the bill credits continue until next month.

Next, we will keep these phones, or just upgrade mine though apple directly, and switch to Visible once unlocked. We can then activate our Apple Watches for free, and be all in at $60 per month, provided we get unlocked by January 31st!

Yes, we give up Netflix, and Apple TV, but we haven't used them at all this whole year. We will lose the $10 per month credit for YouTube TV, but we will be dumping them now due to the rate increase. I have to dust off the antenna I bought 2 years ago and mount that!

The combined savings will be $112 per month, which is decent.

This promo was just released yesterday, so Apple may not have updated their info yet. Either ask directly at the store or wait until they update it online.
