- T-Mobile Go5G Next customers will soon be able to trade in a phone regardless of the condition for the full $1000 credit, according to an alleged employee on Reddit.
- This will only apply to select new devices and will also require you to have a qualifying trade-in device. This will primarily be older flagships like the Galaxy S22 Ultra or newer, as well as the iPhone 13 or newer.
- The promotion will reportedly start December 13, though there’s no official confirmation from T-Mobile just yet.
Update, December 13, 2024 (1:15 PM ET): On the company’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, T-Mobile announced the new promotion. The promotion works specifically for the iPhone 16 Pro and Galaxy S24 Plus.
It’s no secret that the big three carriers now reserve their best trade-in offers and promotions for customers on their highest-tier plans, and T-Mobile is no exception. While the Uncarrier remains more affordable overall and offers unique extras like free streaming perks, trade-ins are one area where its competitors arguably hold an edge. Both Verizon and AT&T are known for accepting select phones in any condition with a qualifying higher-tier plan, offering trade-in values of up to $1,000. However, it seems T-Mobile is about to level the playing field, as noted by Reddit user Tva-raylan, an active T-Mobile community member and apparent employee.
