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

I got the $930 discount through 24 monthly credits with waived activation fees with trade-in of a broken iPhone 6.

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

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.

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?
Didn't expire. The 9/7 date you saw may be the date by which we had to reply to their last week's text with "YES". YMMV as it's targeted but def works with legacy plans with 24 month bill credits which makes this a rare deal for eligible accounts.

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.
Customers can't be transferred to the Loyalty team by other departments. They're routed to them automatically.Also, there's no such thing as an "Atlas-authorized specialist." All Care reps have access to Atlas.

given that you'll be locked for 2 or 3 years - that's not really a deal...

36 months! No thanks
It's UP TO 36 months depending on your plan. The new 2.0 plans are 36 months while the old legacy plans are still 24 months. I just upgraded an iPhone 13 Pro Max to a S26 Plus because I forgot I had it sitting in my drawer and my EIP says 24 months and the only thing I needed to do was pay the taxes and $35 connection fee. Let's stop being drama queens unless you actually have the facts.

Magenta max and I see the pixel 11 free but I have to trade in a specific phone. I do have a razr 2023+ which is the backup house phone. Should I trade that in for the pixel? No one really likes the flip form factor is the razr, but it is a backup phone so...

Unless you're in a rush, skip it then. They're gonna have more deals over the next couple months.
Thanksgiving/Black Friday seems to be good deals. That's when I did my upgrading the last 6 years!
