As I state before, tweaking your grandfather plan is only for the detail oriented. Changes cannot be undone, so know everything about your plan, lines, EIPs, RDCs, promotions, etc before you start. It's not hard, just risky if you just wing it.

Also contact tmobile on Twitter or Facebook. They will help
They just need the screenshot of the imei. Physical phone not needed.

No problem! I remember back then a few Tmobile reps were adamant that if I went the Apple financed trade in route, the phone would be locked still lol. Pushing to get it done with them.
I'm planning to get the deal in 2 days but probably will just go it at Tmobile this time to get the trade in to them and new phones same day. Still debating whether to trade in my backup 13 mini or get a cheaper 12 to trade in at 200
They agent in the chat online also gave me extra $200 gift credit for each number, and waived the activation fee ($35 each). Total of $940 extra bonus.
The plan that accepted the trade and the deal was the cheapest unlimited one, the Welcome Unlimited and the total cost for my four lines is $120 per month plus taxes. This is $30 per month per line, same as the cheapest plan from a low cost network provider such as visible, mint, etc.
The down payment was only the phones taxes, no extra fees, etc.
The only down side is the contract length of 3 years, instead of 2 years from the other companies. But when placing all the numbers in a spreadsheet and comparing to all other options such as T-Mobile and att, the Verizon my plan is by far better in the long run.
If we would buy the iPhones in the Apple Store, at full price, without discount since the trades would be "disposal garbage", the Verizon plan would be a total of $15 per month for all the 4 lines during the 36 months, total cost of $480 for 36 months of 4 lines in an unlimited plan.
So I went for Verizon and I would suggest you to do the same.
