T-Mobile Launches Phone Trade In Program

T-Mobile is introducing a retail Trade-In program aimed at giving customers a “cost-effective way to purchase a new phone and upgrade to America’s largest 4G network.” T-Mobile customers with existing handsets will be able to earn money that can be used toward the purchase of a new handset especially those running on T-Mobile’s 4G network. Customers can earn up to $300 with the trade in of their old devices, even devices that belong on the networks of other carriers. Devices must meet a set of minimum criteria including being fully functional, having an intact and working display and being free of liquid damage and corrosion.

T-Mobile’s trade in program will be available at any T-mobile store in partnership with The Wireless Source, a leader in consumer electronics programs. T-mobile representatives will be able to determine the trade in value of each device and process a check for the quoted amount via a mail-in rebate process. Customers will receive a voucher, shipping label and bubble pack to ship their device to TWS and then sent a check in the amount of the quote.

“T-Mobile is committed to providing the latest, most innovative and affordable technology to new and existing customers,” said Ami Silverman, senior vice president of sales, T-Mobile USA. “If device purchases can be made even more affordable through the value offset of T-Mobile’s Trade-In program, we want customers to have that option. We encourage them to take advantage of it so they can stay connected no matter what their budget, current device or mobile provider.”
