I was looking at these deals and saw the crazy trade-in deals for their new Go5G plans. Magenta Max plans aren't eligible though.

Those with older iPhones like the 7 and 8 can take advantage of this insane value. Customers who have or switch to the new Go5G Plus plan (not the base Go5G plan). Promo is limited to 4 per account.

The "Uncarrier" T-Mobile is launching new plans on Sunday, April 23rd. We previously covered that the company already has exclusive Go5G Plus promotions lined up, and now we know exactly what kind of insane value that new plan will offer customers.

Our previous coverage reported on an upcoming iPhone "On Us" promotion for Go5G Plus subscribers. The offer gives up to $830 towards an iPhone 14 or 13 series device with eligible trade-in. We now have a list of what devices will get full value, and it's pretty impressive.

The company will give you the full $830 value for phones from as far back as 2016. This includes devices like the iPhone 7, iPhone SE, and iPhone X/XR/XS.

The promotion is clearly designed for iPhone users, as the highest values are for Apple devices. The eligible Samsung devices are much newer, like the Samsung Galaxy S20.

In addition to the highest values, customers can get half-value ($415) towards a new iPhone when they trade in some nearly as old (but non-Apple) devices like a Samsung Galaxy S8 or even budget devices like the Samsung Galaxy A71 5G.

This promo marks the first of what is likely many to come that are exclusive to the new Go5G Plus plan. So far it appears Magenta MAX customers are not eligible for these elevated trade-in values. T-Mobile promises that their new plan will offer "the same promotions as new customers now and forever", so if you trust them to do that, you may want to consider switching to the new Go5G Plus plan when it becomes available April 23rd.

The basics are that you get unlimited talk and text, along with unlimited data. For Go5G, that data is "premium" 5G data up to 100GB before potentially being throttled a bit. For the Go5G Plus plan, you get unlimited "premium" data. Where the increases show is in hotspot and Canada/Mexico use.

Folks on Go5G get 15GB of high-speed data for hotspots, as well as 10GB of high-speed data when in Mexico and Canada. For Go5G Plus, hotspot data jumps to 50GB along with 15GB for Canada/Mexico use. In Magenta and Magenta Max, hotspot high-speed data was capped at 5GB and 40GB, respectively, and only 5GB for both plans when in Canada/Mexico.

T-Mobile is still including things like free Apple TV+ and Netflix, flight streaming sessions, and 5GB of international data. That's pretty much it, though.

In terms of pricing, Go5G and Go5G Plus prices are both up by $5 per month on single lines. So you have starting prices of $75/mo for Go5G and $90/mo for Go5G Plus. Also, for Go5G Plus at lines 1, 2, 3, and 4 you would pay $90, $150, $150, and $185. Those are all increase across the board from $5 up to $15 per month. Taxes and fees are included, by the way.

You need Insider discount to make it worthwhile. As OP mentioned, $5/line increase from Magenta Max.
  • Go5G Plus $90/$150/$150/$185 - third line free, $185 for 4 before Insider discount for new customers.
  • Magenta Max $85/$140/$140/$170 - third line free, $170 for 4 before Insider.

For those already on heavily discounted Magenta Max with lots of free lines, we will watch how it plays for current customers. Trading in a first generation SE for $830 off is very tempting. 😁

OP - be ready to be downvoted for bill credits (no instant discount), trade in nightmares, bill credit screw ups, even more expensive premium plan and (my favorite) not posting a deal that's not totally free or where you get paid.

I got burned for posting Magenta Max only deals in the past and stopped posting deals altogether.

Let's see if I get more downvotes than this - https://slickdeals.net/f/16536619-iphone-13-pro-1tb-949-99-from-t-mobile?p=162520159#post162520159.

I asked mods to mark my own thread as dead before the deal even ended - https://slickdeals.net/f/16471636-t-mobile-magenta-max-only-port-a-line-get-up-to-730-off-iphone-13-series-bill-credits-no-trade-in.

Thanks. Very detail and helpful information. Don't think at this time I'll be switching from Max as it would cost me $360 more over 24 months. The benefits at $5 more per line per month compared to Max don't add value for me. It is a great deal for those who have older phones and want to upgrade every two years.

Has it been confirmed yet if the first responder, military and 55+ versions of the Go5G plans also increase by $5 per line?.

T-Mobile has lots of customers grandfathered into cheaper plans. If this were AT&T they would just come up with some BS new "fees" to increase pricing while claiming they're holding to the committed plan pricing. T-Mobile is legit, so unlike evil AT&T they instead came up with new plans with higher pricing and using incentives like this to encourage customers into them. It's not for me but I don't see anything dubious about the strategy.

I used to be a post-paid customer but now a prepaid one.

It's unsurprising how people get sucked into product bundling ("plus you will get Netflix/Apple TV…") and premium branding ("premium data etc."), when only a small % of customer base (travelers or people who rely on fast internet for work or don't have home wifi) truly can benefit from such bundled products.

Caveat emptor

This is especially true for "free" in-flight wifi. American Airlines has slowly been dropping T-mobile-enabled free wifi on their airplanes. Kinda of misleading advertising IMHO.

Not really much of a deal. I have the "Forever Upgrade" which pretty much guarantees $800 credit for any iPhone

Very true … same case can be made for in-flight data/ international roaming/ Canada-Mexico data … useful for small but "added benefit" for others.

Similarly, all T-Mobile Tuesday perks … lot of times cost to drive to get a free sandwich is same as cost of sandwich. There also lies magic … by offering 5 promos, T-Mobile ensures that it receives credit for 5 but models that not every subscriber will use all 5 every week!

These plans are only worth it if you like to have a top of the line phone and upgrade often or perhaps if you travel to CA/MX a lot

It depends, I fly United and use this benefit at least twice a week. Considering United charges $8 per session, I've saved at least a couple hundred by now. But like you said, the remaining 6 other lines on my account barely use that benefit.

Is there a catch to this? Is it really this easy?
