Trade in value qualification

Thanks.  I just did that and the quote came back at $315, so I guess the 55+ plan doesn't qualify for the $1000.  I was wondering about that because I had tried earlier to order it by phone from T-Mo's sales department.  When I inquired about the trade in value, the rep told me I would be getting $1000 for my old phone, so I told him to go ahead and process my order.  Afterwards, I was looking through the paperwork emailed to me and couldn't find any mention of the $1000 trade in, so I called T-Mo's Customer Service Center in Albuquerque NM and asked the rep to check it for me.  He told me that there was no trade in attached to my order and offered to cancel it and redo it with a trade in.  I agreed and told him that the first rep had told me I would be getting $1000 for my old phone.  The first form he emailed to me was the trade in agreement which said that I had agreed to accept a quote of $315 for my phone.  I asked him why it was $315 and not $1000 as had originally been quoted to me.  He said that $1000 was the promotional value and that when I sent my old phone in, they would check it out and if everything looked good, they would bump it up to $1000.  He obviously lied to me.  I felt kind of leery about the whole thing so I called the sales center back and asked another rep cancel my order.  She told me she needed to put me on hold while she looked into it.  About 20 minutes later, the call hung up on me.  Nice.  So I called back and asked another rep to cancel it, which she did.  After this experience, I am never going to buy anything from T-Mobile again, ever. 😠👎
