Well, yeah... you're essentially trying to steal the phone at that point.

Again, the same when you finance ANYTHING. You need to pay for the things you buy.
yes but they actually call them contracts, wireless industry is trying to evade the "C" word but it is 100% there.

T-Mobile was better. 250 port in credit + 150 shop card. Up to 1000 for trade in.
T-mobile required trade-in of newer iPhones.
for Verizon one could give a working iPhone 5 and get $830

Call - yeh you lose the shop card but keep your grandfathered plan which is worth way more than a shop card.

Took me all of 30-45 minutes to:

1. Pay off the last month on two devices

2. Order and give payment for the two new iPhones

Order on the phone with Verizon and keep your plan, it's the best way to upgrade this cycle for Verizon period.
How old of a plan do you have? I have the "new" unlimited plan (from around 2017 or so when they reintroduced unlimited) for $32 per line plus taxes, to switch to the most up to date plans would be an extra $8/line/month, $80 total for the 10 lines I have. It might be worth it if I saw a huge bump in speeds, because officially I don't think my plan supports 5G. If I can get the trade in deals done and keeping my current plan via calling Verizon that does sound like probably the best avenue right now until they truly force us off the old plan.

The Slickdeals thing to do (since we are on slickdeals) is to find the lowest value phone that is worth $830 for trade in, and then get a cracked screen version of it, and then trade it in for $830 in credit. That's what I did. Just need to do the maths.
Which phone is most optimal for this? The $99 iPhone SE deals seem to be pretty easy but I'd be willing to look for others and upgrade more than just the 1 line if I can get $50ish phones to trade.

Try a few cell phone models in the list and see which one is the lowest market value, but also still gives you the $830 credit. I am trading in an old Google Pixel 6a that I got with a cracked screen from my local sketchy cell phone store. And it's worth $830 to Verizon. Just try different models using the trade in estimation screen.

Did they end their partnership with Tmo in favor of Verizon?

Every deal i've seen this week has been for ATT and VZW, no matter what the store.
My warehouse only has tmobile

You have to sign up for the new Go5G plan which cost more than the Magenta. So if you are on Magenta plan you don't get this promotion. So, not better for existing customers.
You can talk to a kiosk person and they can give you 20% off monthly discount. I just signed up @ Costco with $148 ($185 - 20% off) per month for 4 lines. This is cheaper than Magenta Max.

Where can I find this deal? Is this for a specific plan like Go5G plus or something only?

Before they went to this recent round of unlimited plans, the newer plans were better than the grandfathered plans.

$40/mo for unlimited data (50gb, then throttled), 20gb hotspot, Disney+/ESPN+/Hulu included is hard to beat.

The ones you can select today, not as good overall but still not bad.
Dayum I should have gotten that when I had the chance. Now I am paying $42/mo on my old grand fathered plan because they added an extra charge to "Legacy Plans"

Costco may still run the deal. It is for Go5G Plus. For 4 lines, the cost comes to $185 with taxes but as I posted earlier, you can get additional 20% off monthly if you can convince the kiosk person. It appears that they get 3 coupons per quarter which they can give it away.

I got 3 iPhone 15 Pro Max and one iPhone 15 Pro after trading iPhone XS Max, iPhone 11, iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max. Final cost will be around $170 after factoring in everything including promotions and trade-in credits.
