Just leaving this comment here for the benefit of others - This is the Edge (Mediatek processor) and not the Edge + with the Snapdragon processor.

Call 833-428-1765 for Costco TMobile and you don't even have to go to the store at all. I did this deal on Sunday.

Thanks, weird their website shows 8GB RAM. I think it's still a good upgrade to replace old unused phone at home.
This is a great deal if you're not leaving T-Mobile. You'll make $35 plus a free phone. The Costco shop card will cover the $40 tax and left you $35 profit. T-Mobile is not offering free iPhone for old plans now. If you have the new Go5 plan, dont do this deal.

anyone in a situation like this...
Currently on simple choice with 10 lines (can't add any other lines)
I am definitely not leaving tmobile.
So I was thinking of doing this deal with the 4 line max limit.

The last iPhone deal was the $430 off via 24 bill credits on any iPhone device trade in.
Was thinking of doing this deal since it doesn't seem like there will be any iPhone deals with tmobile and older rate plans...

There's always that hope that tmobile will hook up simple choice customers with a killer deal...
That was more a 1 time phone/situation promo to get old phones off their network.
You don't need free lines to do these deals. You just need to have available EIP, which I assume you do since the $430 off promo was over a year ago. Even on that deal I stacked 2 onto 1 line.
Knowing that future phone deals probably won't apply to your old plan there is no need to save up the EIP credits. Just get any deals as they come along, unless you plan to upgrade to the newer plans in the not so distant future.

I have the phone from the last moto edge 2022 promo back in January of this year. It is 8GB of memory (just confirmed from Developer Options).

T-mobile has a special variant of this phone that packs 8GB with the 128GB of storage.

I did it yesterday over the phone with the rep that handles Costco (https://www.costco.com/t-mobile-b...wcase.html [costco.com]). I was nervous as hell because I'm on SCNA and I don't want it screwed up and the offer was not on their website. I had to rely on verbal stuff from the rep, which I hate. However, The only doc I signed was the EIP. I didn't sign anything adding a new line or changing my plan...if that means anything. I'm still crossing my fingers until I see my next bill.

I really dislike shopping over the phone too. I was trying to set up a new line and was told they need a port in number from a real carrier. ie verizon/att and not prepaids?

I have the magenta plan, if I do this deal, will I be stuck with the phone for next 2 years with no option to upgrade? or can I pay the balance, and still receive the credit until 24 months.. and eligible for an upgrade if needed. Thanks!

You can still receive the credit after you pay the balance as long as you keep the line active for whatever remaining months.

you can do 2 things,
1. pay it off and still receive the monthly credit.
2. stack with another eip.

my choice is just pay it off.

Neither. Both are m e i d. This is the issue where not all phones have an IMEI

So I called 611, and contacted TForce over the twitter.

BOTH associates told me that P444 requires to add a line.

P385 does NOT, but you need to have one of the selected phones to be traded (also depend on the trade value, $500 or $250)

The associates also mentioned that "incorrect" trade will be "corrected" later on, meaning they could add a new line or charge me the full price of the phone, for P444.

As I said in my earlier post, T-Mobile is great in confusing / trapping customers in its promo these days

If it has a rate plan requirement, it means it will change your rate plan in order for the bill credit to be eligible to be applied.

monthly device bill credits have compatibility requirements for bill credit to activate and payout (and continue to pay out) each cycle. Moving back to a noncompatible plan will halt the credits. Cancelling the line does too.

I wouldn't risk it.

Yeah, I don't understand why everyone says it will work with Simple Choice plans. It clearly states it is only for Magenta. If you have Simple Choice and do the deal, you risk them upgrading your plan. Not worth taking the chance for me.

Exactly which website are you referring to? The T-Mobile one? I think there are two variants. But this one as posted lists 6 GB I think. Where do you see eight? Is it on t-mobile?

If your Costco membership is not active at the time T-mobile system pass on the promo/order to Costco then the rebate will not be validated. Costco is the processor of this rebate, not T-Mobile so if I were you, I'd renew membership close to expiration.

Talk to Tforce. It looks like you have sprint phone. I traded one previously. Tforce can manually input some kinda IMEI to replace MEID.

That screen is not correct.
The last similar deal for free moto edge 2022 with trade in back in January also hadthis online screen saying "Require a Magenta®, Magenta® MAX, or Essentials 55+ plan to receive this promotion", but it worked for other plans like simple choice.
T-mobile is just too lazy to remove this "magenta plan" line from this special promotion, just like it forgot to remove the "add a new line" on the moto edge 2022 page's promotion section.
