Q: QuestionHow long will the T-mobile activation be there before I can unlock the device and use another carrier??
Asked by Daksh.
- A:Answer Depends upon how you handling situations. Standard wait time is 40 days. If you paid full, then you can request via T-Mobile social network to get unlock within 3 days. You should have account in T-Mobile and the phone must be fully paid off. I purchased 3 phones from Best Buy. All of them unlocked with in week.

Q: QuestionIf I preorder the iPhone 13 mini then it is $100 off for activation, but I am already a Tmobile subscriber. Does that apply to me or how does that work because I would like to take advantage of the $100 discount from the current price. I am confused.
Asked by Bosey.
- A:Answer You’re not confused. You nailed it. Being a current subscriber to T-Mobile, you would have to add a line to your account to receive the discount. Likely check in with a T-Mobile store, as there might be upgrade offers if you were to trade in a device that is eligible. Hope this helps!

Q: QuestionDo i have to purchase the phone through a carrier or can i just purchase the phone and take it to my own carrier?
Asked by Sonny.
- A:Answer From what I see on Best Buy you can't buy the newest iphone unlocked, not sure why. Just head to apple and buy from them.
Answered by SilveradoZ71
Q: QuestionThis is dumb. If you offer $320 for my device and I pay the rest out of pocket, it technically IS my device and should be fully unlocked. Why won't you state that the $100 discount is designed to hold us hostage to the original carrier? Thanks.
Asked by Janis.
- A:Answer Acteually, they are giving $200 off when we trade in phone. But, the phone can be unlocked through t-mobile. I unlocked immediately by contacting T-Mobile via social network. On my personal account.

Q: QuestionCan I simply have this T-Mobile locked iPhone shipped to my house and just swap the SIM card from my existing Samsung phone? I already have an active T-Mobile account. I just want to be able to switch between phones whenever I want.
Asked by Mick.
This question was asked about the related product: Apple - iPhone 13 mini 5G 128GB - Blue (T-Mobile)
- A:Answer Heck yes that’s the beauty of SIM Cards really as long as they are being inserted into a network device you can pretty much go to go. So if both devices are T-Mobile devices you will be fine. The only thing that makes a locked phone “locked” means that the device can only be used exclusively for a network until certain events occur such as paying the device off 12 months after being on a network of you are on a monthly payoff. I am not certain as to what all the rules are as I have always purchased my phone upfront and been with T-Mobile for quite some time. If you want to know more about the rules and how to swap out SIM cards better Samsung to IPhone there’s step by step instructions on Apple for where the iPhones SIM card is and how to place it. You may even be able to use a virtual SIM card and never have to take out any of the SIM cards and instead switch between the two or have both on at the same time. It’s your choice! The SIM card being attached to the account is all you’ll need.
