Need clarification on trade-in value after paying off both devices (iPhone)
Hello Xfinity Custemer Service,
I am hoping someone from Xfinity can help me understand my billing and trade-in situation.
Here is the timeline:
- Last year June, I purchased an iPhone 16e through Xfinity Mobile under a promotion advertising a $400 discount, and the device was financed over 36 months.
- In January this year, I upgraded to an iPhone 17 Pro and traded in my iPhone 16e. The iPhone 16e had only been used for about six months and was in very good condition when I traded it in. The iPhone 17 Pro was also financed.
- In April, I was charged approximately $469, which paid off the remaining balance of the iPhone 16e.
- Last week, before transferring my service to another carrier, I paid approximately $886 to pay off the remaining balance of the iPhone 17 Pro.
As of today, both devices have been fully paid off.
I understand that I may no longer be eligible for the original $400 promotional discount because I transferred my service before completing the promotional period. While I do not recall that condition being clearly explained when I enrolled in the promotion, I understand that this may be a separate issue.
My main question is about the trade-in device. Xfinity accepted and kept my iPhone 16e when I upgraded, and I have now paid the full device amount for that phone.
I would like to know:
- What was the trade-in value assigned to my iPhone 16e?
- When and how will that trade-in value be credited or refunded to me?
If the trade-in value is $0, could someone please explain why Xfinity accepted and retained my fully paid device without providing any trade-in value?
I’m not asking to receive the $400 promotional credit if I’m no longer eligible. My concern is specifically about the trade-in value of my fully paid iPhone 16e, which was surrendered to Xfinity during the upgrade process.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

@user_hy9y4x, thanks for taking the time to post on our Xfinity Community Forums page. I can totally understand where you are coming from. When we have trade in promotions typically they are for a base amount off ($400) which is split up over the 36-month device payment plan. The promotion does require you maintain the service on the device to keep getting the promotional discount. If you trade in your device it would require the remaining balance on the device ($469) to be paid off not including any promotional credit being applied through the duration of the promotion. Any trade in promotion in the form of monthly credits would've been voided at the time you paid the iPhone 17 Pro off. Let me know if that helps.
