so for 6 lines (2 paid + 4 free) , it will cost around $190($150 for 2 paid lines +$10*4 for 4 free lines) on Go5Gplus.
I came from Sprint, so I am grandfathered into some plan that gives me more "unlimited" data, hotspot data, international data, etc., compared to the Go5G plans.

I have a business account (Magenta Max equivalent I think) with eight voice lines, two mobile hotspots, two Apple Watches, and three iPhones that haven't been paid off yet, plus I also have free Netflix, and I'm paying about $218. I can't imagine what that new plan would cost me.

Twitter Rep told me that Go5G Plus would cost $5 more per month per paid line, so +$20/mo over what I pay now (which I think is $128/mo for service plan). So an extra $240 per year.
As far as I can see, the benefits I would get are:
1) 50GB of hotspot instead of 40GB (useful as I sometimes do run out on two lines)
2) maintain the ability to upgrade with the best trade in deals every 2 years on 9 lines.
Assuming we upgrade most of those lines regularly, getting the best promo trade in credits, that seems maybe not bad?
Very willing to be talked down from the ledge here. Am I crazy to consider changing?
I think it has to be evaluated on a person by person basis. For some the legacy plans not switching I get.
In my case i have 3 lines for 2 promo + friends and family + auto pay discount lines.
So I pay $96 a month (without financed device costs).
The rep I spoke to said I'd pay 106 a month if i switched to Go5G.
Over 2 year (i prefer the 2 year upgrade personally). I'd pay $240 more.
My iphone 11 pro trade in goes from $650 to 1000. Which is $350 more.
So still 350 trade in extra - 240 2 year increased cost = 110 staying in my pocket.
Now if I do that with 2 trade ins, I save a few hundred more.
If i can bundle with this costco promo - then that helps even more.
Also yeah I use netflix / apple tv through them. I use the perks from the plan.
I havent pulled the trigger. I'm trying to find reason why its better to stick to my magenta max.
If i stay on the plan, I still think Im putting more out of pocket buying the phones direct.
reading through the comments, maybe someone else can chime in.
one thing is what if costco tmobile screws up my account discounts? although if you call the phone number on their website - it goes to tmobiles costco dep so presumably they keep everything in-tact.
