$500 for other plans.
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 ā˜¹ļø

I currently have an iPhone 15 still under EIP and receiving monthly credits. I am on the One plan. Now I have an old iphone 12 which is eligible for this promotion ($500 value). If I proceed with the purchase of a new iPhone 16 to take advantage of this promotion, will i receive 2 monthly credits then, as long as I don't pay off the devices?
Yes and no.

Tmobile's backend system allows for multiple EIP / RDC per line. I currently have lines with multiple ongoing EIP / RDCs.

However, if you try to upgrade through a person, like Costco or phone support, they will ask you to pay off the active EIP first before going through the upgrade. Not sure if they are trained to do so, their front end system doesn't support it, or something else. I got my multiple EIP / RDCs by using the fully automated front end system, aka. t-mobile.com.

Promo attached as ID240720, can't find any information on this promo anywhere, anyone else see this and have details?

Edit: found it, its an expired go5g next promo im not eligible for. Customer service removed it and had to request the correct promo be attached. According to them I should see it in 2- 3 billing cycles. Tmobile is truly the worst carrier.

Temp unlocks are only for Android phones. iPhones are either locked or unlocked. You may be able to convince an agent to unlock early for you [reddit.com], but that is a long shot and they would be violating official policy.
Seems rather odd that its only android phones allowed temporary unlocks. Ill ask T-mobile directly (a couple times since their reps lie/make things up).

On T-Mobile one amplified I assume this is not eligible?

Usually it's similar to magenta max, but sometimes the trade in discounts are different

Worked perfect on Magenta Max. I currently have an iPhone 16, but wanted to upgrade to 16 Pro. I went to Metro and got an iPhone 13 for $75 by porting in a burner line. Then used that 13 as the trade with TMo.For the 16 Pro, was ~$120 due today and I'll owe $170 paid across 24 months. Add the $75 for the 13 from Metro, and I'm in the hole for about $365. I'll then sell my unlocked iPhone 16 for at least $577 on Swappa.
Did you buy from the Metro store and get the new iPhone 13 right away? Thx!

Did this just just now at the Sam's kiosk and it was pretty quick and easy (phone is shipped to you so it's not an instant swap). Be aware though, they put the protection plan on without asking me. I will have to call T-mobile now to have that removed. I was able to stop him on the second phone when I noticed he did it real quick.

T-Mobile rep claimed that it is Apple doing this and not T-mobile.

"Please be advised that T-Mobile's policy may not allow for a temporary SIM unlock and this one is for android phones only. The Apple company was the one to provide restrictions for the Temporary Sim Unlock Policy."

Definitely never buying an iPhone through T-Mobile again.

Did you get a Sam's gift card? If so, how much? Do they waive the $35 act fee?

Thanks for the reply. I tried test ordering earlier in the tmobile app, went all the way through check out and it is showing correct EIP credits with this current promotion, with no mention of me requiring to payoff my current device. Still apprehensive though if I would get 2 EIP credits after submitting the order. It's a headache to get these credits sorted out if something goes wrong.

They give you a piece of paper that has the instructions to claim the gift card. Yes, the $35 is waived. You just pay the tax in full at the time of purchase.
