You can go thru Costco or Sams club if youre a member. Saves you the $35 fee and you can earn up to a $100 gift card for upgrading.

Seems like Simple Choice does qualify and gets you up to $500 trade in value.
Unfortunately t mobile charges $30 extra on phones (apple sells ip16 for 800 and t mobile for 830.
T mobile also asked for $35 connection charge.
This extra $65 surcharge makes it less appealing ☹️

Does anyone know details about trade in condition from prior experience? I have an iPhone 14 to trade in but the back glass has a crack. Working condition otherwise.

I only saw two go5g plans when I tried. Wish MM would have shown up so I didn't have to deal with a locked phone.

Was able to call Costco line and get $500 each for a iPhone 16 and Galaxy s25+ with the $100 gift card on each line with my SWAC account. Had to take advantage of this since applying to non Go5g accounts is rare these days. Thanks op

Try reaching out to T-force on facebook or X. Even if it doesn't show as possible directly via the Apple Store, they have previously been able to confirm or add eligiblity on the back end for similar promos.

Was able to confirm Costco MM gets $100 per line provided we haven't got a Costco card or activated the account in Costco within the last 1 year.

Also almost every store has zero inventory so it will be shipped and so trade-in phone has to be shipped, cannot be handed in-store.

edit: sorry folks after buying the phones got to know it is only $75 for MM even in Costco. Lesson learned don't trust the agents what they say verbally.

May I ask here you see that? I just checked the app but the checkout page dropped the $500 trade-in promotion. If it really works, I may jump on the ship.

I saw it on the T-Mobile website, after logging in and selecting trade in promotion on iPhone 16. I didn't go through with it due to extra $35 cost.
Others recommended doing it at Costco /Sam's club that waive $35 and give $75 gift card.
