Looks like it, yes. The terms:

Excludes phone numbers that currently are activated on the T-Mobile network. Instant rebate has no cash value. Limit five (5) per household. No rain checks. Instant rebates are provided in the form of a credit against the regular purchase price at time of sale. See store associate for complete details. Sales tax not included and is collected in accordance with state and local laws. Certain restrictions apply. Offer available while supplies last. Not combinable with “Add-A-Line” instant rebate promotion or any MetroPCS mail-in rebate promotion.

Yes, Thanks for responding. I saw that in the written statement at www.metropcs.com/offers , but I remember that the store was previously allowing the use of the switcher credit on other phones..

I don't find the specs on the core to be enough for a medium active user of apps, although the white version of the phone looks like its an older model S4.

It wouldn't hurt to ask your local store if other phones would still qualify, but I'm guessing they switched it to only the Core Prime.

The way my local stores tell it, the $50 Port-In credit is universal, towards any phone in the store. I used it on a LG Stylo the beginning of July.

PS I think the Avant was a better phone 1.5GB RAM, 16GB ROM

Thanks for pointing out the Avant. I'll think about it , but I see that its $50 more, and doesn't have Lollipop. {I know that many devices are having a harder time updating to Lollipop, then the initial estimates, but it does seem like a lack of confidence in the phone that they haven't updated it to the main current platform}.

Also the phone isn't for me, but for a senior citizen friend who thinks I'm some sort of guru about these computers and phones. For me, I'd go with a higher spec phone.
