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.

New promotion appeared today but requires to change to qualified plan. For both iPhone and pixel. Existing Members: Have an Experience Beyond, Experience More with Appreciation Savings, Experience More, Better Value or a legacy Go5G Next, Go5G Plus plan. See terms below for plan eligibility requirements.
I wonder if that was updated after the 1st 5hrs of mass upgrades. Previously my account said I was eligible for upgrade with phone in any condition. Now new terms saying that any condition is accepted for the full amount. But the actual amount will be disclosed once actual device traded in is receiving? That's deceiving ain't it? " Actually you're device isn't worth the $850. It's worth $100. You owe xxx" ? Does that sound accurate or will they say. It's worth 100. But well front you the rest in credits?

Also once locked in for 2years whose to say the new CEO will screw all of the new lines/upgrades and increase prices...
Like last year.

Yesterday had option to upgrade to Pixel 10 for free with any phone trade in but today that promo is expired.

I am on One Plan.

They must have changed it to be more restrictive.

Got the $800 off for the Pixel but no iphone on the old ONE plan.
Been trying to upgrade my wife's iphone for years without switching plans and I only end up with 2 Pixel backup phones. Looks like I'll get another pixel 10 this time around for free.

But that's for trade-in in good condition, not any trade-in, in any condition

Dang, my wife really needs a new iPhone but looks like only the pixel promo is working on our account (simple choice). Thanks for sharing though.

If your terms are different, screenshot for your records. Maybe they updated the terms to 4 per account.

I have multiple lines but seems like only 1 is eligible for this. If I order this under that phone line, is it tied to that number and I have to activate it with it? or can the phone be used on another line in my account? I never done EIP before.

I am with t mobile in simple choice plan and I see my plan is now eligible for $630 off an iPhone. I have 9 lines on my account. Recently took promotion on Google Pixel by trading in a old phone.
Can I take this iPhone promotion? Looking to trade in a iPhone 13 and get iPhone 15 which should be covered by 630 trade in credit. I have 4 lines using iPhone 13's looking to take this promotion for all 4 lines.

Seems like T-Life is showing the Pixel promo for me which is sad. We've got 6 phone lines, an apple watch line and a tablet. One phone and the tablet are Android but everything else is Apple so really not the promo I'd want. I'd definitely do an iPhone upgrade.
Can this promo work via Coscto to save on any activation fees and/or qualify for a costco gift card? Might be worth upgrading the one Android phone just because we can if it really is a net money maker with a gift card.
