So what do you get in return?<\/p>\n<p>T-Mobile says that \"the special trade-in offer, which lasts through Father's Day on June 16\" allows \"well-qualified customers\" to hand over an iPhone 4S or iPhone 4 and in return they will get the iPhone 5 for no upfront cost alongside monthly payments.<\/p>\n<p>The mobile operator also says that customers can get up to $120 in credit as well, which can be used to pay the monthly bills, depending on the value of the device that is traded-in.<\/p>\n<p>T-Mobile has not specifically mentioned which iPhone 5 model this offer extends to, but it's fair to assume that we're talking about the 16GB variant. Also, according to T-Mobile the offer might not be available in every location, and certainly not in the District of Columbia.<\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.betanews.com\/~ff\/bn?a=mTqJBYHBWZ0:Z4yn7c2SQFM:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/bn?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.betanews.com\/~ff\/bn?a=mTqJBYHBWZ0:Z4yn7c2SQFM:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/bn?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/bn\/~4\/mTqJBYHBWZ0\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In just two days, T-Mobile customers will be able to purchase the iPhone 5.
