Trade in Promotion

T-Mobile is running a promotion this week where you can trade in a Iphone 7 for $500 with an addition to opening a new line.  I currently have 5 lines on my Tmobile ONE account.  I'm wondering if I open a new line with this promotion and canceled one of my old lines in 2-3 months, if it would effect the $500 promo?  I went to 3 different Tmobile stores and one said I can cancel one of the old lines first and then add the line a few days shouldnt be any problems.  Another store said I have to keep all the lines for 12 months before i can cancel any lines.   Another store said I have to keep all the lines during the 24 months till the phone is paid off before i cancel any lines.  Does anyone know what is the right answer??  Personally I don't need 6 lines, but trading in a 7 for $500 seems like a great offer. 

  • As far as I know, the promo is tied to the new line.

    The easiest way, depending on how fast you want to take advantage of the trade in, is to activate a new line, then call in to cancel o e of the other lines.  That way, you still have 6 lines in the end and there is no few days waiting.

  • My issues is when canceling one of the old lines, will it void the $500 trade in promo.  I don't want to cancel one of the old lines just to find out that they void the $500 trade in promo.

    Don’t fall into their dirty trick of trade in promotions. 15 months ago, I traded my like new iPhone 8 Plus for the iPhone 12 Pro Max and never received any trade-in promotion.

    The only way I recommend is to do the trade-in in store and make sure the promotion is active before leaving, otherwise they will screw you up.

    Trust me I have been emailing, phoning, texting, and chatting with customer service every month for the last 15 months and still nothing.
