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 ☹️

I have Magenta, but for some reason I was offered the $830 credit for trading in Galaxy s20 FE, I clicked all the way to payment page. Will T-Mobile honor it?

been on hold for 90 minutes and still waiting with the Costco phone sales... what time do they close?

I waited for 100 minutes, and then had a 30 minute phone call. All in all I got two 16 pros for 150 each over 24 months plus $150 Costco gift card. What an excellent deal. Thank you so much for posting this


If you go through Costco, submit for your gift card here

I'm getting $500 trade in credit for an iphone 13 on Magenta. This seems the best possible deal out there. Not sure if need to pull the trigger or not?
I did. This is pretty much the first deal that popped up for magenta where I get $500 for iphone 13 without having to upgrade to new plan which will cost $100 more per month.

Do you have an email or any confirmation that showed the promotional credit you are supposed to get? At checkout on tmobile's site, it doesn't show as the promo is not carrying over. Just wondering if it is different if you go through Costco. Thanks!

It is wonky, I too question how it shows, and I eventually upgraded in a corporate store, from T-Life app and everything shows OK. I was questioning too, as there is not confirmation during the process, but I did it anyway. I need a new phone even if not a slckdeal.

After complete, I submitted old phone to T store (13): I got a text from T (almost immediately) that I will be getting a "monthly bill credit"

Still it not 100% sure, but the T store knows I will be back if there is a problem!

The explanation from T store employees was that it depends on the plan; as to why it can't quickly show up in any account (the discount is variable). My personal recommendation is go through the T-life app and screen shot everything

eta: Costco corporate T kiosk said I couldn't do it on simple choice plan*
**please note I may get screwedSmilie

I have an iPhone 13 that's from a free phone promotion on my free line with magenta max. The phone is still receiving the bill credits. Can I use this phone as the trade in device? Is that going to mess up anything? I'm not using it on the free line and still received credits but the device is locked to TMo since it's not paid off technically.

I can see the promo showing up in the app for $830.
If you started the iPhone 13 EIP before July 2024, then you can trade-in and pay off the iPhone 13 and still continue to get the bill credits until they run out. Test it out yourself on t-mobile.com, it'll tell you the same thing. If you started the EIP on or after July 2024, then you will lose the bill credits if you pay off the EIP early.

Take screenshots of each step, especially anything that shows the $830 offer. Make sure each screenshot has the time / date from the taskbar. Just in case you need proof later on.

Simple Choice folks:

I still have a Simple Choice plan, this is what happened for me:

It is wonky, I too question how the discount shows during process, and I eventually upgraded at a T corporate store instead of Costco (Costco T rep told me it wasn't available for simple choice. Even if they were wrong, I couldn't confirm).

So, I started the process from T-Life app. I did it through T-life APP and pickup at a T Corp store. I need a new phone even if not a full slick deal. I am giving up the Costco benifits Frown

After completing the process at a T Corp-store, I submitted old phone to T store (iPhone 13): I eventually got a text from T that I will be getting a "monthly bill credit" (almost immediately after submitting old phone).

Still it not 100% sure how this plays out for Simple Choice plans, but the T store knows I will be back if there is a problem!

The explanation from T store employees was that the discount is not clear because it depends on the plan buying the phone; ie. as to why it can't quickly show up in any account (the discount is variable). My personal recommendation is go through the T-life app and screen shot everything

eta: Costco corporate T kiosk said I couldn't do it on simple choice plan*
