The carrier is starting a new program that gives you credit for your old devices that you can apply towards your next purchase. It sounds like a good way to get into new Lumia 920 or HTC 8X. Details below.
To qualify for the deal, you need to bring in your old smartphone that isn’t older than three years. The phone should be in good, working condition. Take it into an AT&T company store and you’ll receive at least $100 for your account that you can apply towards a new smartphone, your phone bill, or new accessories in the store. Some trade-in devices may value higher than $100 and you’ll receive that higher value, but you can’t go below it.
A lot of trade-in programs usually have a max amount for what you can get for your old smartphone, so it’s nice to see AT&T offer a minimum instead. The company started the trade-in program to help customers support the company’s sustainability initiatives. Customers win by getting a little cash out of their older electronics.
You can get more details below in the press release or at the trade-in programs website. Anyone thinking of using this towards a potential Lumia ‘EOS’ in July?

Sam Sabri says: Of course. Trade-ins make sense for people that don't have the time to find a buyer or aren't too tech/business savvy.

carlosrdd says: AT&T is the best! They get all the best phones before anyone and I've had no problems with their service. Just wish they were faster with updates.
Posted on Apr 30, 2013 at 4:03 pm - 13 hours ago Reply baileystein says: There is no "best carrier". It varies by location. I get LTE with Verizon at home, but I used to get 2G (yes, EDGE) with AT&T. They still only have edge, and they didn't work with me when I wanted to leave. Switching was the best phone related decision I've ever made.
Posted on Apr 30, 2013 at 4:21 pm - 12 hours ago Reply Aaron M says: I'll take you up on that. Im switching from at&T to T-Mobile. Why? Because for 5 lines at $110 total, I'll be paying $22 per line and get unlimited calls, text, and data. Yes I know im throttled after 500MB, but on at&T I would get penalized for going over my 200MB. So find me a plan for that same value on at&T. Honestly, I'll switch back if they release a plan similar to what T-Mobile has now.
Posted on Apr 30, 2013 at 4:29 pm - 12 hours ago Reply lesd777 says: That's 500Mb for the entire account I believe, so the 4 other lines will also help chew that up rather quickly. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Posted on Apr 30, 2013 at 9:21 pm - 7 hours ago Reply Aaron M says: Thats what I initially thought as well, that it was a shared data plan. But nope, its 500MB per line. Crazy good deal compared to AT&T.

Any phone under 3 years old is likely to get more on ebay etc.
dalydose says: Do you think AT&T has an eBay team sitting and waiting to sell your phone? This is likely a partnership with someone like flipswap.com. I'd rather have them deal with selling it, than getting 20 calls with people trying to trade me their old Galaxy for it or undercutting my price by half. I've sold stuff that way and it's just plain annoying.
If that EOS comes out, I'm going to try to trade both my Lumia 900 and 920 to help pay for that sucker. Well, only if MS fixes XBox Music, otherwise I'll have to keep the 900 to use Zune as my MP3 player.

nicewabbit says: Apparently my year-old Lumia 900 is worth $61. I don't know how to feel about that!
Posted on Apr 30, 2013 at 4:07 pm - 12 hours ago Reply erzhik says: Sold mine on Amazon for $200.
Posted on Apr 30, 2013 at 4:10 pm - 12 hours ago Reply dalydose says: Well, that means you're getting $39 premium, since they will still give you the $100. I can see how our 900's have fallen in price. The market for a used phone drops significantly even when the phone is new. We got caught on the cusp of a generation change, so the 900 will be undervalued.
Posted on Apr 30, 2013 at 4:25 pm - 12 hours ago Reply expectafight says: where is it worth 61 bucks if AT&T is offering at least 100 for it?
Posted on Apr 30, 2013 at 4:27 pm - 12 hours ago Reply gtbuzz says: I checked mine as well and it also says $61. According to the press release, it does say "Beginning May 1" and "at least $100 off", so perhaps the values will change tomorrow. It also says current smartphone though, and my L920 is technically my "current" smartphone. Who knows if that's a technicality.
I'd take $100 in store credit though. L900's look to sell for about $150 on eBay, so you'd net about $125. Not having any hassle seems worth $25.

Posted on Apr 30, 2013 at 4:14 pm - 12 hours ago Reply HYDR0SH0K says: 16 dollars for my Samsung Flash, eh? No thanks, tired of being rape shredded by ATT. I'll keep my extra phone as a back up Mp3 player.
Posted on Apr 30, 2013 at 4:19 pm - 12 hours ago Reply poddie says: Uhhh... I thought the whole point of the article is that they will give you a MINIMUM of $100. So that would seem to be a great deal for you, right?

Youre working 920 is worth 120 bucks Sam. just sayin...

Posted on Apr 30, 2013 at 5:38 pm - 11 hours ago Reply jhoff80 says: Wow, really tempting to trade in my HP Veer that I have lying around somewhere and barely ever used. I think I got it for $50 off contract, so this would somehow end up being a profit, which would be awesome.
I'll have to check tomorrow, since today it says I'd get a total of $13 from it.
peterfares says: The $100 minimum is only if you're buying a new phone on contract. If you're just trading in you'll get that quote.

It may be time to say goodbye to T-Mobile completely!

Only got a serious offer of $35 which I was going to take but the guy lived an hour out of town. Now I am going to trade it in toward credit on our bill.
Posted on Apr 30, 2013 at 9:00 pm - 8 hours ago Reply AndyD33 says: I just punched in my focus and it popped up that they'll give $100 for it.
Now the question is if i want to keep it for the game progress on it or not. :P
stoneysilence says: Yeah, I finished all my WP7 only games I think. Not worth keeping for $100.
Posted on May 1, 2013 at 2:43 am - 2 hours ago Reply AndyD33 says: That's not what I was referring to specifically. I meant games like Angry Birds and such where it takes a while to progress through levels and there is no way to transfer progress to WP8 afaik.

Posted on Apr 30, 2013 at 9:36 pm - 7 hours ago Reply latempete says: I have a working one too! Kept it as a backup but for $100... ;) That was a really good phone. I wonder if LG will ever try again.
