   With respect to the trade-in-deal with T-Mobile, where you trade in an   
   iPhone 6 for an iPhone 7, you never *pay* for the phone. The fine print   
   shows that you simply *get* the phone.   
      
   What you do with the phone after you receive it is your business.   
   T-Mobile doesn't care *what* you do with the *phone*.   
      
   They only care that you stay on your current T-Mobile *service* for two   
   years.   
      
   That you can't distinguish between *service* and *phone* is disturbingly   
   obvious.
