The primary constructive takeaway from my post was intended as: S10>>N200 and don't fall for 5G hype. You seem to hope that T-Mobile is doing something special with their 5G deployment... and while it differs from what Verizon does, that doesn't actually produce a better result nor could it meet the expectations built around 5G. I'll explore that below in case you're interested(?).

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.

https://www.fiercewireless.com/op...mall-cells

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.

https://www.wired.com/story/testi...n-edition/

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

Good luck!

The OnePlus N200 is probably better from the standpoint it has a Snapdragon and more importantly 1080p screen. It's also an IPS screen on the Nord.

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.

Bill Credits = BLECCH

Edit: The deal from Metro has been added to this post with the instant full rebate. Now that's a deal!

I only have 4 lines on my account with active phones attached to them. If I go trade in an old smartphone I found in my drawer, do I have to link this free phone to a line? Or can I just get it and not truly "activate" it?

Silly question, but can I trade an old Nokia E71 phone (not a smartphone) but a fully working phone with buttons?

Quote from slickjames :
Will you still receive account level credits if the line is cancelled?
A simple chat with T-Force could clear that up definitively but the answer should be no - whether the credit is applied to a line or the account, the promotional credit is still for a certain period of service for an applicable line. If this weren't the case people would be getting a lot more free phones than they already are, lol.

Quote from hocaspocas :
Any recommendation to order this? My parents have many old phones sitting around. Should I call them 611 and place an order, Or go to the store.

Is there a way to avoid the activation fees...
Yes, order through the website or app (kinda the same thing) - that way you only have to pay shipping. Could also try chatting up T-Force and saying you aren't able to place the order because the IMEI isn't being accepted (happened back for the A32 deal, probably still ongoing for phones with an ESN/CDMA phones). Any time you're unable to place an order online due to a technical issue they can waive assisted support charges (now up to $30, I believe).

The trade in happens after/as part of the upgrade/add a line process - if you try to buy the phone online you'll see the options are to upgrade or add a line. To get this free with trade in you'd need to have a line that doesn't already have an EIP line credit, so as long as your active phones attached to your lines aren't getting any promotional/EIP credits you should be fine. No need to switch the line to the new phone either - you can keep every line on the phone currently in use if you want. Just understand T-Mobile's unlock policy requires 40 days of active service on the phone (so you'd need to switch the lines/add new ones in that case) and for the phone to be fully paid.

Yes, any working phone - even the really old ones, see the T-Mobile subreddit for some great examples when this first started - with an undamaged screen, no water damage, a working battery/that can power on, no Google/Apple lock. YMMV but I was told the phones don't even need a back cover, if they have it - I traded in an old phone missing the back for the A32 and had no issues.

Can be unlocked immediately after paid off if the phone has been on the network for more than 40 days. You'll continue to receive the monthly credit for the rest of the 24-month period.

My family pays $80 for 3 lines. These constant "offers" for stuff to go with a more expensive plan are getting old.

So, has anyone tried to utilize this with a Pre-Paid plan? I'm assuming it only works with Post-Paid, but I can't find anything in the fine print saying so. It's also interesting that they would offer it on both their own post-paid, and their Metro pre-paid but not their own pre-paid?

I'm also wondering if they're just trying to push more people on to their (less congested) 5g network? They've been moving some of their 4g LTE over to 5g, and I wonder if this is to try to free up some space on their 4g network?

Are you sure about that? But then you still owe the remaining balance of the full price.

EDIT: 365 days required for pre-paid, but 40 days for post paid which makes no sense to unlock since one is on the hook for the phones full retail price.

This deal works on any plan. I hear your complaint but this is the wrong deal to voice it on.
