The distinction which launches the article I shared (which did center on Verizon) is the same for T-Mobile: the form of 5G which would provide the benefits touted by some sources is exceptionally rare. T-Mobile gives their own version of this which is fairly telling:
https://www.t-mobile.com/news/net...-and-speed
T-Mobile's TLDR is that:
AT&T is an open liar (i.e. 5GE is faux 5G)
Verizon has some work to do on expanding mmWave 5G
(And by extension delivering on the promise of 5G)
Please don't take notice that T-Mobile is also not delivering mmWave 5G
(Basically they talk a lot of trash about mmWave without highlighting the distinction on what it delivers: true, low-latency, gigabit 5G capacity)
While T-Mobile touts the expansion of mid-band 5G, you will notice no mention of a huge mmWave deployment of their own... because they don't have one. More specifically they have very little spectrum in that space and no significant plans for deploying it beyond the few high-density scenarios which will distinguish 5G for years to come: stadiums and high-density urban centers like the middle of Times Square.

Instead what T-Mobile has done is dedicated more of their existing 4G LTE network to 5G in the same way they quickly repurposed their 3G network to 4G in a bid to maintain relevance in the 4G era. At the time, they lacked the desirable low-band real estate purchased by Verizon, but saw they could maximize the efficiency of the bandwidth they had. The way that plays out similarly today is a 5G network which provides an incremental efficiency improvement over the prior network configuration and whose growth is built upon mid-band spectrum acquired from Sprint.

Maybe some of this is interesting to someone(?).
Good luck!

The A32 only has a 720p screen and Mediatek processor.
Comparison:

The main advantage to the A32 is in theory it should have a physically better camera.
Edit: The deal from Metro has been added to this post with the instant full rebate. Now that's a deal!

Not to mention that the N200 itself is a downgrade is most every way imaginable from an S10.
To provide an answer on a separate part of your post: yes you can move your SIM around without worrying about your credits. So if you plan was to simply use the line associated with your paid off S10 to grab a free after rebate N200 you could indeed pop the new SIM back into the S10 without worry. To be eligible for another upgrade on the same line you would have to pay off the remaining amount, but the credits would transfer to account level credits at that time and would not necessarily be lost (though you should be explicit about this with whichever support channel you use for your next upgrade).
Good luck!

Sometimes restarting it fixes it but it is a hassle.
Does anybody know if the OnePlus has hotspot?
I have a OnePlus 8 Pro and they are fine phones.. remind me a lot of H T C performance in the early days.. super fast phone.. the 1080 IPS screen is a strong Point.. 200 also has dual-sim

While the A32 and N200 are both more than functional phones, flagship phones from 2017 and newer (such as the 5T) are still likely outpacing budget phones like the A32 and N200. In most upgrade threads the direction is simpler: first you clarify "Is this really an upgrade?" (e.g. "Is an iPhone 5s >> iPhone 5?") and then you determine "Is this upgrade worth it to me?" With offer threads like this one, which have less specific upgrade paths, distinguishing questions from trolling is fraught. Hopefully clarifications such as the details noted above provide some detail for your consideration.
Good luck!

Max Value = Doing your own math and finding prepaid/postpaid deals that vary periodically.

There are tons of people with 8 lines of unlimited data, 10GB of hotspot per line, and free international roaming for about $140 per month ($17.50/line), and sometimes even less. I've never seen any other deals (prepaid or otherwise) compete with that.
I could be wrong, though. If I can get lines with a similar set of features for less elsewhere, I'm definitely interested and would love to hear about it.

Cell phone companies now a days indirectly forced you to buy new or upgrade your phone.
So what's the meaning of spending more than $100 per year. Or by 24 months of staying in contract means you are paying more than phone actual price.
Think logically how much we spent on cell phones where we use only limited functions of it.
