I pay $240 for 11 unlimited lines, taxes included. Now, here is the kicker: where I live (Montgomery County, MD), the county tax is extra $7 or $8 EACH line in addition to state and federal taxes. T-Mobile includes all these taxes in the $240 already. At Verizon and ATT, $240 can barely cover the taxes. LMAOLMAOLMAO Stick it, stupid ATT & Verizon.

That's robbing T-Mobile... Not imprisonment. yummy

edit: Forgot to add: Got most of my iPhones and Android for literally free over the years....If this is imprisonment, I am glad to live in an imprisonment heaven...
You are really in the jail.
I have 10 lines (five voice lines with t-zone unlimited data and five data lines) for barely near $80 per month...you are staying in the jail too long for happy 😁 you got robbed, happy jail time!
PPL in the jail thinks in heaven 😜🀣, Life imprisonment is good for you

break down your cost in detail, all historical equipment cost (most of my phones were latest or near latest iPhone and android for free or near free. Don't compare your several years old to mine), also compared 11 to 11 fully unlimited lines, not many people are interested in your poor man's Data-over-GoogleVoice voice lines. Otherwise take your Big Ball altitude elsewhere. Not everyone will applaud your childish Big Baller brag

I agree, the T-Mobile no taxes thing is really good for us... Chicago area is at least 5-7 bucks in taxes too... I hope they continue to do this...

Me too. Can't get out of this T-Mobile jail! 7 voice Magenta Max ( truly unlimited 5G ) lines with Netflix, Apple TV Plus, Paramount for $112 incl taxes and fees. I forgot how We can take T-Mobile Tuesdays for granted. But how much freebies we have gotten from this program over the years?

Kid, take elsewhere your free phones that you are too embarrassed to mention in detail. Add 11 iPhone 13s' cost to your plan cost (every 2 or 3 years), and you do the math. Only then continue to brag

Is this the only "2022 UMTS Apple Upgrade" offer? I got tech support to confirm eligibility, but I want to make sure they don't pull a switch somehow.
Good question, here's what I would recommend to CYA (Cover Your @@@).
1) Provide the specific offer P038.
2) Document everything whether it's recording phone call or Chat/text/T-Force so you have audio or text record of your conversation with T-Mobile.

I am not sure how people who have iPhone 3G/3GS are able to upgrade. The lowest available iPhone model available on the website is iPhone 4. Anyone has a workaround? Call TMobile?
When I called customer service, they verified I was eligible for the offer and verified the iPhone 3GS qualifies as well, but they couldn't complete the trade because the only iPhone 3GS listed in their trade-in system was for 8GB capacity, and I have the 32GB capacity. They suggested I try going to the store for the upgrade, but I don't know if their trade in system will be any different.

You should take the chances. The tradein value is $0 anyway. They will process it for $0 no problem laugh out loud
Worse case? You can hold off using the phone for a while and return everything later if you get denied.

For me, I am holding off using my 2 new iPhone 11's anyway, until the monthly credits correctly show up in 1-2 cycles.

A lot of these Indian reps have no idea what they are doing. They just want to get a lame excuse to hold you off, in order to avoid doing something wrong to jeopardize their job security. Show them this page and you are fine:

Code:
https://www.t-mobile.com/offers/promotionaloffers
Click "See full Terms" on P038. You will see "iPhone SE 3 64GB"

Can't agree more. Even with the offer ID: P038, the rep I spoke with still insist that I need to add a line.

Some have been able to call in and the rep was able to push it through manually bough the website has been giving errors, they may tell you to assess a $35 upgrade fee but press upon them the website is not working and they should be able to override with super.approval no shipping charge.
