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 just traded the phones with Sam's and the rep told me to go to promotion.t-mobile.com to claim the gift card but it's asking for the promo code. Does anyone know the code?

Does Sams waive the activation fees? What additional promo are there.

Can I trade in a phone if I still owe 14 payments on tmobile? I won't close the line because they are giving me credit for the phone.

Will this work without going through Costco? I just hung up after being on hold for 40 minutes
No. They will process and verify if you purchased from Costco.

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.

I went to Apple store retail , we couldn't find the promos listed on their device.

In the same boat. I have the One plan and the iPhone 16 with iPhone 12 trade in still comes out to 330 before taxes and fees. If there was a way to guarantee a Sam's gift card and waived fee this would more worth it since it would essentially bring the price down to $220

Hi tryi going to ur nearest Costco, my aunts grandfather plan got a really really good deal,

My grandfather plan we are on the fence cause it's like 14 years old plan, so still on the fence,

She got like 140 5 lines, 5 new phones (3x16 pro,1x15plus,1xs25 plus) she traded in a bunch of devices but still superb offer

They let you keep your ancient cheap plan, and they dont have to do that given theyve already raised prices on everyone.

Carriers have always only paid to acquire new customers. I don't like it either. Switch to another carrier/mvno every 2 years and play the game.

Otherwise, you buy the new phones as the cost of getting a better monthly price than current plans.

I get what ur saying, alternatively u could also these guys have been with us for 15 years, let's give them a sweet deal, for loyalty and stuff, now they saying they loyal let's f them over

We will most likely switch to at n t over the week, 10 new iPhone pros for free(with trade in) and just 80 dollars monthly extra, 1000k Costco gift card

You can pay off your current phone, keep the your RDC, and use it as a trade-in IF your EIP started before July 1st, 2024.

It will not be through Costco. Costco kiosk told me the same for a simple choice, but try through the T-Life App on your phone. I was able to do the trade-in upgrade that way (simple choice plan). Forgoing the Costco GC and paying the activation fee, but that was just bonus.

I was satisfied getting $500 for a 13 that needed replacement (160 immediately and remaining as bill credits).
