I traded in my old phone and I am still getting charged payments on the new phone I wasn't suppose to have any payments on with trading in. Why even run trade in deals when you don't honor them?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello there, we appreciate you reaching out about your trade-in credits. We understand it is concerning to see a monthly installment charge when you are expecting a promotional deal. For most trade-in offers, it can take up to 3 billing cycles for the promotional credits to appear on your statement. Once they begin, you will receive a catch-up credit for the previous months.
To ensure everything is on track, you can check your trade-in status at tradein.att.com/trade-in-status. If you have already passed three billing cycles, please reach out to us so we can investigate the status of your device and ensure your credits are applied correctly.
