Deal Details
YMMV, for certain targeted T-mobile customers. Free upgrade to iPhone 17 with EIP and any condition any trade-in (must have visible IMEI). Plan does not matter, only targeted accounts. Read the terms below carefully.

Just like the targeted Pixel 10 promotion, you can check if you have this offer by logging in online or T-life and making a test upgrade with a worthless trade-in (example IMEI 352363061652430). If the website or T-life offers you $830 promotional value for this worthless trade-in even if you declare it as broken, then you know your account has the promotion. Once you confirm your account has the promotion, take screenshots for your records and then you can purchase through any retail channel (i.e. Costco or Sam's for additional gc back).

Per the terms, you will get $830 RDC on iPhone 17 family for any trade-in in any condition as long as you can get the IMEI number [reddit.com]. So broken, non-functional phones work as long as the IMEI number is physically somewhere on the phone. If the online trade-in cannot find your IMEI, you will have to order through an agent.

Limit for R503 is 1 per account and R504 is 4 per account. T-mobile systems allows you to stack multiple EIPs and RDCs on your lines [reddit.com], as long as the promotions are different. If you pay off the EIP early, you will lose the corresponding RDC.

During the upgrade process, T-mobile trade-in tool asks you 3 questions. Answer them honestly and see what promotional value the tool provides you. This promotion is for any condition trade-in.

Usually t-mobile data works just fine. Unless you are running torrents on it.

In T life app it shows if youre eligible for promotion for Pixel or either IPhone without trying each phone. In my case it's Pixel.Tried to check if it will do IPhone but shows 0$, for any pixel 10 it works up to 800$.
Can you detail exactly how to check this within the app? I don't see how to do it "without trying each phone"

thank you, once I added the iPhone 17 to cart and it didn't show the deal I backed out and then when I looked at the other phones I could see the monthly price for the pixel adjusted, in my case deal only offered on the pixel 10 series for $800 off. Repped you.
