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 ☹️

If you have a Costco account just call them it was a breeze. They waved the $35 activation you also get the $100 gift card
Thanks - so is the trade in process just through by mail? I am just cautious in Costco doing something that would impact the plan. I am grandfathered plan.

My plan qualifies for $500. I just did this at costco and there is no evidence that there will be credit. The EIP agreement document shows full $41 per month. There was $90 instant credit and The T-Mobile person said it's normal and the remaining credit ($410) would apply when they receive the device. Is all this to be expected?
When I try to do it on the app, the credit is very clearly mentioned so I'm am skeptical that the store person actually chose the right promo.
Did you get it sorted?

When your new phone arrives it comes with a pre paid label and box. Bring it to a T-Mobile store and have them do it there so there are no issues.

For those of you with experience in doing this deal, do you know if you can trade in a phone with camera damage? I have an older samsung phone and the camera takes blurry photos. Curious if that would be an issue...

Anyone knows if T-Mobile change their unlock policy? Before it is 40 days. Recently I called to unlock my phone which has been paid for 18 months and 6 months left. The CSR said it need to be paid off before ghey can unlock. If this is true then this deal need to be 24 months before the phone could be unlocked.

I tried to upgrade thru Costco T-mobile phone and also in store.
On both occasions, the representatives received an error during final order submission.
I tried different cards, but none will work. So, I had to give up.

I chatted with T-mobile customer service. They confirmed i am eligible for an upgrade and that the account does not have any restrictions. I never did upgrade or added any lines.

I am thinkin that since my billing and shipping address are different, could that be an issue.

Both customer reps (on the phone and in store) told that it is common, and they have processed many such orders with different billing and shipping addresses.

Is anyone facing such issues ? It is baffling to everyone.

Any pointers or help will be greatly appreciated.

I have an old iPhone 6s and I am on simple choice plan. I tried the website and it only shows $250 value. How can I confirm it will be $500?

The oldest iPhone you could trade in for the $500 credit on simple choice is an 11 pro
