14 DAY TRIAL // Introduced by major retailers, the trade-in program has become an attractive marketing tool for carriers as well.
T-Mobile USA is the latest operator that debuts its own trade-in program that is meant to allow customers to save on new device purchase.
Simply dubbed as the Trade-In program, the carrier provides customers with the ability to trade existing mobile devices for money that can be used toward the purchase of a new handset, including any new smartphone that supports T-Mobile’s 4G network.
“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.”
Using the benefits of the Trade-In program, customers can offset the cost of a new phone purchase by up to $300 with the trade in of their old device.
According to T-Mobile USA, customers can also trade-in devices from other carriers as long as they meet the minimum criteria, like being fully functional, having an intact and working display, as well as being free of liquid damage or corrosion.
Anyone interested to take advantage of T-Mobile's Trade-In program can check it out at any T-Mobile retail store.
The procedure is very simple as a trained T-Mobile representative will determine the trade-in value of the phone and check for the amount that will be given to the customer via a mail-in rebate process.
Furthermore, customers will receive a voucher, shipping label and bubble pack mailer and simply ship the old phone. They will receive a check in the amount of the quote as soon as the device is received.
More details about the estimated value of a device can be found at the carrier's Trade-in program website.
