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 ☹️

Same here. I looked in the T life app earlier. It is good for the $500 off. Incidentally my sim is currently in a moto edge 2024 (via the free prepaid deals last fall) and what T-Mobile shows me using. It's offering the full $500 for that even though it's usually not in any of their full trade value lists. I also have an iPhone 12 with shot battery and an edge 2022. I might try my edge 2022's iemi and see what happens. Didn't have it handy earlier. If that works for full value, that's the one they are going to get! Otherwise I'll trade my iPhone 12 which is no gray area. I'm holding out until next week to see if the new SE ends up free. If so and the phone has everything rumored, there really isn't a single additional aspect of the 16 worth paying $300 more for to me. I saw on Reddit this deal is supposed to be around until March 20 or something like that. If it doesn't pan out, I like my edge 2024 just fine, so no big deal.
Wait, this deal is supposed to be through March 20? I thought I had read somewhere where it ends today?

Really? I'll be so mad. I've been waiting over an hour on the Costco phone line. Has anyone actually gotten through yet?

Was able to trade in an iphone 13 pro for the $500 credit on the old sprint employee plan!!!!!!!! Its been excluded from everything for years.

Did it at samsclub no activation fee + $60 gift card mailed in 3 weeks.
Only downside is they mail you the phone.
Thanks!

Scam. You won't get any card without lots of effort. I did this with Costco and took 6 months to get my card. Buyer beware.

It's only $500 for the regular Go5G plan.

$830 is only for magenta max, plus and next.

The other postpaid plans are $500 as well.

Is this unlimited freedom plan? I'm getting quoted $500 credit for the iphone 12 mini which is still a great phone for me because I love the size (pause). Does it force you to change plans?

I'm getting $500 credit for my old iphone 12 mini. It's still a great phone because I love the size but it probably wont get security updates much longer so I will probably trade it in. Iphone 16 here I come.

Called my Costco rep, unwilling to do over the phone because they wanted to check for water damage and physically see the trade in phones. Need to make the 45 min drive

He may have lied, actually since they don't take the trade-in phone they don't care the device state as much IMIE and storage capacity (to determine fair market value).
