Deal Details
I'm on grandfathered Simple Choice plan and received this text from T-mobile:
iPhone 17. Your exclusive offer is here and it's just for you.
You're eligible. Get iPhone 17 On Us. For a limited time, trade in any phone, in any condition, on your current plan, and get it On Us, up to $930 off. With up to 36 monthly bill credits. For well-qualified customers; plus tax. Limit 1 per account.


I had received this text from T-mobile last week and replied "YES":
T-Mobile: This year's most hyped device drop is almost here! As a thank you for your loyalty you are eligible to receive an exclusive offer. On your current rate plan, no changes needed. To get on the list for this limited time deal, reply YES by 9/7.

It may explain why some of you don't see this deal if you didn't receive or respond to that text.


Depending on your account's financing plan, you may see 24 or 36 monthly bill credits.
I got the $930 discount through 24 monthly credits with waived activation fees with trade-in of a broken iPhone 6.

Qualifying plans
Existing members: Click here [t-mobile.com] to check your current plan.

  • Experience Beyond, Experience More, Experience Signature, or Essentials.
  • Legacy/Older Plans: Go5G Next, Go5G Plus, and most older plans, except promo plans.

Contact us before cancelling entire account to continue remaining bill credits, or credits stop & balance on required finance agreement is due (e.g., $929.99 - iPhone 17 256GB). Bill credits end if you pay off device early. Tax on pre-credit price due at sale. Limited time; subject to change. Qualifying credit, service ($60+/mo. plan w/AutoPay; plus taxes/fees) & trade-in any device required. Trade-in terms and conditions apply. If you don't meet promo requirements, your price/promo will be impacted. Up to $930 via bill credits; line with promo must be active and in good standing to receive credits; allow 2 bill cycles.

OFFER ID R848
Smartphone Promo with Trade (ID260780)


Link to T-mobile store: https://www.t-mobile.com/purchase/shop


For Costco members:
Login to Costco, then go through "Upgrade device" on this page to make the deal sweeter ($100 Costco shop card): https://www.costco.com/f/-/t-mobi...d-showcase
I don't see a place to add a trade-in device when I go through Costco. It replaces the $930 promo with $100 Costco shop card promo which is not worth it. Likely because promo terms say "May not be combinable with some offers, discounts, or promotions"

Some users reported success by adding the new phone with trade-in device to the cart first, then following the Costco link to check out. I didn't try that as I didn't want to risk losing the $930 off.

36 months...really...who would sign up for this
If someone is on a grand fathered plan like simple choice which I've been on from 12 years this is a great deal. Plan charges are the cheapest so I wouldn't move out anyway for many years.

If you're not targeted already reach out to T-mobile & ask for Loyalty team or an Atlas-authorized specialist so they can manually attach promo ID260780 or the other $1200 segmented promo, both are any device any condition trade-in promo for legacy plans, but limited to 1 line per account.

If you got to know the ID for $1200 offer post here.

Unless you're in a rush, skip it then. They're gonna have more deals over the next couple months.
I haven't seen a better deal on an S26 on Magenta Max in some time. It's typically just been $300 off. I should have clarified I'm interested in the Samsung $500 off, not the iPhone $300.

How do you contact them? Call the normal number? Will I be able to get it on my Magenta Max 55 plan? I've been a customer for 3.5 years.

No go. They told me that code is for the migration of US cellular customers. I have 12 lines in my account but they still don't want to offer me this

May I ask how much you pay for those 12 lines?

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

FYI, for those trying to redeem the Costco $100 promotion and the $930 rebate together. Add the phone you wish to purchase to the cart in the T-Life app, then go to the T-Mobile Costco website and access the cart from there. It should show the updated price and lock in the $100 rebate. That's the only way I got the $930 and Costco rebate to stick together.

🤔 Didn't T-Mobile force everyone to switch off of the Simple Choice plan, or are people still able to keep it?

The posted deal expired September 7th so it can't even be replicated even if you have a grandfathered plan (which we do). What am I missing?
