T-Mobile will only allow one trade-in device per order. It can be any device you choose that is on the list of trade-in devices.

$850 for the original iPhone? Lol oh how I would love a new battery for it. But wow I could use my iphone 5, 5s or 5c to say the least. Is it possible to trade it in after you already received the new device?
You send in the device after you receive the iPhone 12. I don't see where it states that the original iPhone is $850 trade-in. I see that it is $230.
Do you happen to know verizons promo? Their site makes you put in one device at a time to see if it qualifies.
I like the Verizon/Best Buy trade in to where you actually traded in your device and got a 600 dollar gift card that could be used towards the cost of the device instead of these stupid bill credits. I don't understand why carriers are adverse to giving an instant trade credit value that can be used towards the principal cost reduction right away.
The one they had at Best Buy was just like a straight trade where you get 600.00 on a gift card although I may have been wrong about that being an ""official Verizon thing" in retrospect I think it was just a normal trade.
But the 600 was loaded on to a gift card which I could then Apply towards the cost of the phone so the iPhone Pro 12 is essentially paid off except for a few hundred dollars. The only thing I paid that day was the 10 percent sales tax Oof!
I went back and checked because it was 5AM on pre order day when I did it so I was tired lol. The Verizon Promo looks like it is just the normal store trade. The one for AT&T is showing as an "Up to 800.00 Bill credit" and includes most iPhones and Samsung devices.
You see all the specific models on the AT&T section of BBY. I guess bill credit versus instant credit kinda adds up to the same thing in the end.
BestBuy is offering the trade-in offer in the form of gift card for Verizon. AT&T would be in bill credits at BestBuy. The $600 is for the 64GB iPhone 11 Pro Max.
And if you plan on staying with the carrier then it really amounts to the same thing either way. And each carrier has very different deals. T-Mobile is giving me an extra $200 in the form Mastercard ti spend anyway I choose for being with them for 5 year as part of my trade-in deal for the iPhone 12.
