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.

As mentioned earlier the promo id displayed on my account is different, contacted CSR through T-Life and in T-Mobile store and they confirmed that my account has the Promo 260237 and it should get updated once I submit my trade in and in 1-2 billing cycles. And was also told if for any reason if that doesn't happen automatically it will be applied manually by CSR from the backend.
I dont believe those asshat to wait for 2 months billing cycle to see if the promotion applied. If the promo is attached to the order, it shows up after 24hrs in your my promotion page. be ready to fight after 2 billing cycle 😀

So, I just upgraded 4 of my 11 lines with the free Pixel 10, limit 4 on that promo. Does that 4 unit limit apply to all other promos, or can I also land a few iPhones under this different promo number? Cheers!

Each promotion has it's own limit, usually 4. If you are targeted for one of these iPhone promotions, the limits are separate from R499.

should be separate sine the promos appear to be different

don't forget, there is an eip limit
for example. let's say each pixel is worth $800 and you only have a $4,000 purchase limit.
$800x4 =$3,200
you would have $800 left that you can purchase. If you want 4 iPhones 17's, you would have to pay out of pocket after that limit gets reached.

I'm on the first responder plan which rarely gets any promos but I just noticed one now for $630 off in bill credits towards an iPhone 17 pro with trade in any condition phone. Doesn't require me to add a new line like it usually does. Although it's any condition, it's not any phone. There is a list of eligible phones and it's not the really old ones either but still not that bad if you have a damaged phone from the list.

You should try any imei first...it took most of the imei's I tested that were NOT on their list, for full discount.

tmobile, as always, is aggravating. this morning my partner (shared account) has the promotion showing on their TLife account, $830 for one line and $729.99 on another line for 17 Pros. I go on my own account and it's saying $150 for the same phones on the same lines now.
eta: the amount was to trade-in two 12 Pro Max

It's been 3 billing cycles and I don't see credits yet.. it's crazy with T-Mobile.. One question, will they apply all pending credits at once or will they apply these missing credits at the end, like extend it beyond 24months

Normally in 2-3.
I've done this routine with TMO 3 times, Xr, 12 pro, then 15 pro. It is kinda unnerving sending in a decent working phone, but everything always did work out without getting on the line with customer service, I would get promised credits, phones would get unlocked.

I have the Pixel 10 on us promo available and I'm on Simple Choice but no iPhone promo. We have 10 lines and half are iPhones and half are Android so oh well. Picked up some Pixel 10s.
