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 ☹️

Thanks. I just picked up the phone. I asked them about the trade-in and they took it from me. Just looked at it enough to get the IMEI from it and gave me a $0.00 receipt. About 30 min later, T-Mo texted me and told me I would get monthly credits for the trade-in.

Seemed like there were a few people doing same the deal in-store.
Nice. What phone did you trade in? Did it not have any upfront value?

That's the whole point of giving you a discount. It's to entice the hardware discount so they can recoup the discount over time. There is always a give and take in business.
But if they recoup the discount over time, then you're basically not getting a discount because you're just paying them back over time instead of all at once upfront.

I'm curious, if you don't have enough Account credits and can't finance the full amount, is it still worth it?

I traded in a Note 10. It had $55 value, but I read in another post it's common for it to say $0 on the receipt.

Do I need to provide Imei info when I order the new phone or can I simply tell them the phone model? I'd like to order a couple cheap phones to trade in rather than my iPhone 14.

Costco requires IMEI in order to process the trade in. You could ask the seller for the IMEI and see if they can provide that to you before it delivers. It's ymmv on whether the store rep will want to also have it physically verify the trade in device. One store said they are by "law" required to verify the device physically in hand and wont just accept me giving the IMEI. So i just went to another costco and the tmobile rep manager took my IMEI no problem without needing to see my trade in device that im still waiting on delivery for.

Quote from abeln2672 :
No but the website shows the trade in deal for those on Go5G plans. I'm not seeing an option to get $500 on my old One plan though, despite seeing I'm eligible straight on T-Mobile's website. Stinks cuz T-Mobile charges $30 more and sends a locked phone. I might wait another day or two to see if the Apple website adds this deal for other plans.
Quote from hall0 :
Has anyone tried this at Apple store?
I tried on Apple store online and it didn't work. It says my Simple Choice account isn't eligible. I'll see if they update the site later.

I could get $170 for my iPhone 12 from the Apple store. I'm really only saving $435 from T-Mobile since they charge $35 connection fee and $30 more for the phone. So it's $265 difference for a locked iPhone for 24 months.
