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.
Each Costco has only one carrier - Verizon, T-Mob or ATT

Quote from WiseLeopard609 :
If you need bill credits to own the latest iPhone, you can't afford it.

Cheapest Verizon plan for a single line is around $80 including taxes.
Visible (same service) is $25 a month no taxes.

You end up paying almost twice as much for the phone. Essentially you pay an extra $980 in interest over 3 years. This is why the phone companies have these offers, it is insanely profitable for them.

The math might change with a grandfathered plan or multiple lines bit it isn't likely to be a good deal. Money now is worth more than money a year from the present.

I also don't know how people use the same iPhone for more than 2 years. I have noticed the performance drops significantly around 18 months after release.
Same experience regarding the performance of iPhones around 18-24 months. Unless the deal is great I am not going longer than 24 month credits going forward.

Most are 2-3 years if you're financing a phone anyways

Never would I have imagined Slickdealers argue about a contract vs bill credits. Bill credits is basically another way for carriers to get their money but it gives the consumer the false sense of "flexibility". Chances are, if you're on a bill credit, you'll be staying for the entire ride. Unless of course you are somehow convinced the next iPhone, year after year, is worth it. 😔

Anyone know how to swap an iPhone 15 from this deal to another line without affecting the trade-in bill credits? It used to be easy with physical SIMs...just swap the SIM cards and you're done, with no effect on bill credits.

Now it's eSIM only...don't know how to swap it with a line with physical SIM.

Yes. We're on Do More and Play More. I just bought the cheapest phone that I could get on their eligible $830 trade-in list. Didn't want to trade our iphone 12's coz of its physical sims when we travel.
Great, thank you for the info! Do you have a link to the trade-in list?

Definity gonna ask me to upgrade to a newer plan to get the offer. No deal for me. I like my 15 years old gUDP.
I don't blame folks for wanting to keep their old school Verizon plans... I held on to mine for quite a while myself, but honestly, I've never looked back. And the money saved..yea.

Sort of u can pay it off whenever so not really a contract
And lose every bill credit left remaining on the contract..because when you electronically acknowledge the terms..you've still entered a contract. Lol

T-Mobile was better. 250 port in credit + 150 shop card. Up to 1000 for trade in.
Yeah for new customers if you're an old customer you got $75 and needed to be on the newest plans to get $830 or $1000 with a new trade in

Amazing deal. I'm upgrading from 12PM so I get $830 plus only $16 a month 512gb at 0% apr. Apple only offers $430 and you'll get less selling on your own. If my Samsung galaxy A50 works it'll be even slicker.
