Getting on my own plan
I’m on my parents T-Mobile plan, and we are due for upgrades. I would like to get on my own plan with AT&T. My phone is already paid off. Can I use this phone as a trade-in? The phone is technically under my dad’s name, so how does that work? He’s on board, btw.

AT&T doesn’t care what you have going on with T-Mobile. You go through a credit check and sign up for your own AT&T plan just like any other new customer. As far as the trade, I don’t think AT&T checks any phones that aren’t on AT&T account. They don’t check whether they’re paid off, or whose name they are under. Likely they only check if the phone is blacklisted. Any outstanding balance remaining with T-Mobile is between them and the account holder.

FYI in order to port your number to a different service provider you need the account number and security pin and or port pin.
You also have to be able to factory reset your trade-in phone to remove any user locks.
