Quick math assuming you are ok with Visible/Mint at $30/mo - overpaying by $45/mo for 36=$1620, that's what you are paying for the "free iphone".
I have an unlocked phone & pay $20 per month for service. Can't be happier.

Costco also offers $75 for an existing line upgrade, and also wave the activation fee ($35). We have upgraded three phones there and only "FOUR" can be upgraded on the current iPhone promotion and then we will have to wait till the next promotion.
T-mobile is not honoring the deal. Because the order was made online, I don't have any solid written papers to show it to them. T-mobile is conveniently saying that they don't have the record of the phone conversation.
Yikes.

I just did this deal and I upgraded my 4 year old iphone 11 into an iphone pro 256gb without changing my plan and all it would cost me is $7.50 a month for 36 months, $270 in total. For an $1100 device? Its a no brainer. Gone are the years that smartphones wear out in 2 years, so I doubt I'll be upgrading in less than 36 months anyway but if I do feel the itch in 24 months time, I'll still be over $300 ahead vs just buying the phone from apple and trying to sell my 11 on the open market.

Show me an unlimited plan that is on AT&T or Verizon and it costs less than $30/line.
What about roaming options on those prepaid plans? They exist, however they are not cheap.
Yikes.
* I purchased an IPhone 15 Pro Max 512Gb 2AM 9/27/23 via Costco ATT. And it is arriving tomorrow 9/29/23. That's a 72 hour turn around. Costco is using FedEx Overnight Delivery. The estimated ship date during purchase was Oct 8-21. ymmv.
Starting October 2023 - ATT is reducing their autopay discount using a credit card from $10 to $5. They are encouraging members to use checking account for autopay in order to receive the full monthly $10 discount. (Has to do with credit card fees and ATT)
Some premium credit cards have their own cellphone protection coverage if you use their cards to pay for cellular bill. To take advantage of that, manually pay off your bill with premium credit card before the monthly autopay date and continue to reap the $10 a month discount.
