Well then, that's useful info if you OWN the account, but I have T Mobile anyways. Lets say I happen to get an iPhone, would this work on it?
To get for iPhone you need to have a company that supports it to send you the unlock code, or purchase one online

iPhones can be bought unlocked by default but that's really beside the point, this is a thing t-mobile doesn't really advertise and 'operator' is not even listed as a vocal option, so rather than paying for a carrier unlock if you own the device like a large majority of people do but want to change the service up, this is an alternative

Does it matter where you preorder the HTC one from in order to take advantage of the HTC trade in offer? I ordered from Newegg but want to trade in an old evo 4g.

Nope, you just have to have a valid proof of purchase.
Awesome. Thanks couldn't resist 100 bucks for an original evo.

Ok, I feel like a complete idiot. How exactly do I go about getting the $100 for a trade-in? I have my old EVO 4G that I’d like to send back, but if I go to the following link, it says that I’m only eligible for $16:
http://www.htctradeup.com
I'm guessing that isn't the same as this offer for the One:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...h-april-26th-following-rumored-launch-delays/
Is the paperwork included with the HTC One and you send in your old phone after you purchase the One, or is there another link to go to in order to find out how to get the rebate? How do we know exactly how much we’ll be getting back from HTC since everything is saying “up to $100”?
As a side question, my brother is thinking about getting this phone and his contract is up for renewal, so can he trade a device in for this rebate as well?

No unfortunately I think this was an offer you had to sign up for about a month ago. I signed up very early and I got an email on March 18th titled "Thanks for registering for the new HTC One®" inside it tells you to goto www.htctradeup.com/htcone and use the code included in the email to recieve either the devices value according to their checker or $100 - whichever is greater.
Good luck!
Update - Ya their site says "Pre-register online (must have been completed prior to April 5th)."
So you get at least $100 plus whatever your phones worth right? And yes I preregistered.

Their main site (http://www.htctradeup.com/) will tell you how much your phone is worth if you trade it in. But if you pre-registered and (from what I've heard from others) confirmed the device you will be trading in and save your information within 30 days of pre-registering, then you will get $100 for your trade-in if it's worth less than $100 on their site.
So, for example, if you wanted to trade in a Samsung Galaxy SIII (which only a crazy person would do), you would receive a $150 visa prepaid card. But if you wanted to trade in a Sprint Epic 4G, that phone is only worth $20 on their site, but I would get $100 for it since I pre-registered and filled out/saved the required info.
Has anyone been able to get past the "save for later" button on this? Or are we waiting for the release date for you to begin the next step in the process.

You guys might read of the terms and conditions just to be aware.
http://www.htctradeup.com/htcone/?q=terms_of_use
and specifically this:
7.2 Program Requirements. In order to participate in the HTC One Upgrade Program you must have an eligible used device as defined by the on-line Tool. You can identify if the used device is eligible by utilizing the drop down menus to pick the make, model, and carrier for the used device. If you cannot find the make or model and believe this is in error, you can contact the program administrator at Clover Wireless. The Program is only valid within the United States. You must be a minimum of 18 years of age to participate. The Program is not valid on stolen property. There is a maximum of one (1) trade-in utilizing HTC One Upgrade promotion per registrant. A valid proof of purchase is a) an original invoice with the IMEI number printed on it or b) a copy of the UPC code with the IMEI code printed on it. A copy of a UPC code is only permitted once as a valid Proof of Purchases. Clover Wireless has the right to reject any trade-ins for promotional trade-in submissions where 1) the used device is submitted by anyone other than the user of the used device and 2) when the used device was not active at the time of the new device purchase and 3) the trade-in voucher was not agreed to by you and 4) there is an invalid proof of purchase or 5) we believe there to be fraudulent intentions. Without a valid Proof of Purchase, you will not be paid the promotional trade-up amount.

My touch pro 2 will definitely not be active when I purchase my One tomorrow but I'm going to send it in any way. All it is doing is collecting dust in a drawer.
Same here I'm sending two EVO design's
That were collecting dust.
So I received my email on March 15th, but I haven't registered on the site yet because I thought i needed to wait until I had the One. Am I SOL because it has been more then 30 days?

Maybe. At first when I went on the site and entered my code from the email they sent me a few days ago it said like $30 or something for my EVO 3D. Now it says $100 when I enter that, but it says click here when you get your ONE and when I do that and reenter the number it says it is invalid.
Did we have to re-register again? Because I did this when they first announced it..

Its weird, I register for 2 lines back when they started the promotion sign up and I got 2 codes in separate emails. One looks generic code with the number 100 between the letters and the second code has different digits. If I go to the trade page the generic looking code works but it says I have to complete the trade by 3/28/13. The other code comeback as invalid.
I went to the trade in page an put in the informaiton for my evo. I then put in the code in my email and it seemed to work and gave me the "Save for Later" option. I got an email from HTC a short while ago after clicking save for later and putting my email address in. And now it says I have to pre-order and has a pre-order now link at the bottom of the page. I just planned on going into Best Buy tomorrow morning and grabbing one as I got the $50 gift card deal from them back in January. But I want my $100 from HTC.

When you put on your code what complete by date the website gives you?
Just to let everyone interested know. I just received an email for the trade up offer (for those of us that pre-registered) that took me to a page and now it says I get the $100. Just have to claim by April 30 and mail by May 30. It is all good now.
I guess the first quarter loss is killing them.

Don't you love how they offer you a 'deal' for preordering but 2 weeks later they offer a better deal you don't qualify for?
Anyway, I ordered one for my dad 2 days ago which will be delivered today and here I discover this promotion that starts today. I emailed them asking if he can qualify because this offer will buy his EVO 3D for 100 bucks, which is more than I expect him to get from craigslist.
I went to the HTC site and put in my old phone details so I could see how much I would get. I used the promo code "HTC100" as directed. I put in all my info for the trade in phone and it said I could save the info and they would send an email with a link to get back and finish the process after buying the phone.
After I went and got the ONE, I got the email and it had a personal ID # and a link to continue but it just takes me back to the original site that wants me to input all the info again. The instructions in the email say that the link is supposed to take you to a page where you can input the personal ID# that they sent me. I don't see anyplace to do this and unfortunately the HTC100 code only works once so I can't even start over.
Anyone else have any experience with this?

Wow, this is an interesting one. I work at tmobile. I can tell you that you would have signed an EIP agreement when you purchased the phone if you got it in store. This agreement would show how many payments you are making over the next 24 months for the phone. If you never got one of those, and you have a receipt for the full price of the phone, i think you should take the money and run haha, that sounds like a free phone. If you wish for someone to check the account without charging you for the mistake - I can give it a little overview when I get in today at 1pm PST - you'll have to PM me tho, these are private matters and I still need to follow the rules haha.

Haven't been on in a while but wanted to come back and say this is now my 7TH bill! No EIP payment anywhere. What the hell do I do? I wonder if it has anything to do with me being a customer back when phones were subsidized still? Just very strange and don't want to bring it to their attention if I don't have to, they've screwed me before so...
BTW, I didn't pay full price only the taxes when I ordered online, I believe I electronically signed an EIP but no receipt for full payment obviously though. It does show on the TMO website as being available for use with them, which, it obviously already is.

Worth a try. Check the imei on their website to see if it says anything about it being owed. Or on my tmobile under billing. It shows what phone you have financed and how much you owe and paymemts left.

It says in billing I have no EIP on this account. Maybe I'll pick up the Gear S just to see what they say about the EIP and to play with it for a few days. Hmm..
I think the same thing just happened to me. I Pre-Ordered the Galaxy S7 Edge on T-Mobile, and it arrived on February 29th. I have now received my 2nd bill and they still haven't charged me for the phone, and the account doesn't list an active EIP on my line.
If I went to the phone section to try an upgrade it said "You are a Jump Customer. You are ineligible to jump because you have no Active Equipment Installment Plan" Since they said I couldn't jump I proceeded to take Jump off of my line and the next day when I go to the same page, there is a large "Upgrade" button next to the picture of the S7. Is that basically a confirmation that I own this phone and T-Mobile screwed the pooch?
Here is all the info and answers you most likely are wondering about:
The Offer is only available to the first 92,000 valid Offer Claim Forms submitted
Must purchase S6 by 4/12/15 at 11:59p.m. ET
Register by 5/21/15 to submit claim for credit code
Code must be redeemed by 6/20/15
Registration link: https://samsungpromotions.com/Netflix
Provide the IMEI or HEX MEID of the purchased device
Provide the Wi-Fi MAC address of the purchased device
It's open to new and existing Netflix users
The exact subscription is the "Standard package" aka "2 Stream." Info about the Standard package can be found here:

So if it is just a credit, I can upgrade to a higher package, it just won't last a year right?
I remember them saying something it was only for the 2 screens + HD, but I want to try SuperHD
Anyone go for a second promo on a replacement unit?
Got the phone on the 12th and activates it right there and than.
Hi all!
I just wanted to share this support article page I found while searching more extensively into the $300 off at T-Mobile for their variant of the 6T. According to it, the promotion will be ending on November 8th.
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-38863
Dang it. Still waiting on my trade in phone to arrive. Might be SOL!
If you have the imei of the old phone, you can order the 6t now and you have 30 days to send in the old phone.

Ooh that's a good idea. I was hoping to do it in person just so it wouldn't potentially be rejected, but it was like a $50 trade in phone, so I'm not too terribly worried about it either.
Yeah, just go into store, give them the imei, and then you have 30 days.

When I bought mine at the store on the day of Tmo's launch, they told me that if I purchased in the store, I had to have the trade in phone with me, at that time to trade in.
If I would have waited for the phone to come in the mail, Tmo would include a pre-paid postage label as well as a 30 day window to send it in. Not sure if this was just a way to keep my business in the store or not
I went to the T mobile store with my One Plus One phone for trade in. The phone actually had a problem. The sim tray is gone and a part of my previous sim is stuck inside the sim slot. So the phone is kind of useless for me. Other than that the phone doesnt have any problem.
The t mobile employee checked the below
- Whether display is working fine
- What is the model number of the phone
- Connected to charger and checked whether the charging is working fine
He didn't check the sim tray
After that he gave me the prepaid label and envelope and asked me to send it to T mobile.
Does this mean I got lucky and they approved my trade in phone?
Or will there be another set of inspection once this phone reaches T mobile. If so and if they found the sim tray / slot issue , will they deny the trade in offer for me?
From what I heard they do a much more thorough inspection when u mail it back and they can reject the trade in unless the rep approved it in store already.

Is there a way to check whether they have approved it in.store?
The only reason I went with T Mobile is because of this Trade in offer
So they give you paperwork if the phone had water damage, if the screen is cracked, of the device can power on, if the device is locked to a user. I traded in my OnePlus 2 and it didn't have a great charge for the battery but it easily passed.
To answer the question, all the person in the store does is enter the IMEI number. Once they do that, TMobile sends you an email stating you have 30 days to send it back. They give you postage in your email which you can print out.
The in store person doesn't approve it per say, just they make sure the IMEI matches what they have in the computer.
I didn't have my OnePlus 2 in hand but had a family member and me the IMEI and I gave it to them. Then thinking they would send it, I brought it back later only for them to tell me to print out the postage and mail it myself.

My trade in was approved in store..no paperwork..they checked for water damage etc. got the credit show up to my bill in the erp section along with 50 dollars upfront. So yes reps can approve it directly at a corporate retail store. Not sure about authorized resellers.

An yep. Corporate. Key word
Is the deal worth it over getting the phone on JOD? What's the best path towards upgrading to the OP7?

If you have an eligible device for trade-in, I'd go that route (EIP).
I would have, but, I didn't have a trade-in, so, JOD was my next best option, only $30 out of pocket in-store & i was on my way.
There's no guarantee that T-Mobile will carry the OP7, could be they only do the T models, or, perhaps, this is a one & done deal, no one really knows at this point.
Worse case scenario for you is you'll have a brand new OP6T at less than ½ of MSRP & if you find it's not for you, you could still sell it & come out ahead.

Thanks. I have a OnePlus One or Pixel 2 XL to trade in. But I still don't have a clear answer on a few things:
* What happens to the credits if I JUMP next November or earlier when I make enough device payments in advance?
* What is the payoff for a SIM unlock? $280 or $580?

You get the bill credits regardless,but,I'd wait until you actually see them before paying off the device in full.
The bill credits actually go towards your entire bill,so, they'll continue until they expire.
As for the SIM Unlock, technically,you need to have the phone for 40 days & pay off the balance ($280),but,a lot of people have had success in getting it already, some still owing on the balance.
I'd call 611 & talk to your regional Team of Experts if you want to try your luck, they're more helpful than the Twitter & chat B.S....
