I have the old family plan, 4 lines for $100 and have slowly added a few free lines over the years, I pay $180 for 7 line all unlimited so yeah it wouldn't make financial sense
Yup, and T-mobile got you staying so smart deal they gave you Smilie . Meanwhile you pay for your own phone upgrades (no free iphone etc) while paying more than an MVNO would charge for 7 lines ($105/month on Mint Mobile, Owned by T-Mobile for example)

Are there any trade-in deals for regular ONE plan users (not ONE Plus)? Also does anyone know if Costco/T-Mobile is still doing the $75 shop card for upgrading a phone?
Yes, the $75 shop card per line upgrade is still available. I preordered a 15 pro max and traded my 11 pro in for $350 with TMO plan and don't plan on switching to their Go5G, which would make it twice as expensive...

T-Mobile has trash promos for the iPhone if your not on a newer plan. Might as well buy the phone directly from Apple and get Apple Daily Cash

What is friends and family code? Do you mean insider code?
Yes you're right.

I had always known it as friends and family but i just looked it up on my plan and it says insider P1. ​

The cost of these new plans will far outweigh any promo benefit.
For my plan it was looking like 15-20$ more per line. and I have a One Plan.

When I'm ready to upgrade I'll just trade in my phone to apple, then buy through apple.

What cell phone company has promos once you're already a customer? They all stink. The only way to get a good deal is continually switch cellular companies to get the new customer deal. No company is gonna give you a deal once you're already a customer.

I usually pay $100 - $110 for 11 lines for ONE with plus promo. Super happy with it. I don't think any MVNO can beat it. LOL

There's no phone promo big enough to justify changing a legacy Tmobile plan to Go5G.
Agree, they are really forcing these new plans to old customers but it would be an increase of over $45 for me. The only bonus i see is the 40gb hotspot and Netflix if you actually use it.

T-Mobile does if you're on the max or 5ggo plans.

true story, I'm still on an old One Plan $50 + $5 Auto Pay discount. I was curious about the new Go5G plans, but you can't see the prices, they tell you to call for pricing.
that's a big deterrent to me.
The pricing is on their website.

Sorrry if i missed it or not but is everyone going in store to get this deal? I live 5 hours away from a actual store. I just called the number wasn't prepared tho so i didn't have any of the number on my verizon plan to port, so i asked if they could just assign a number and allow me to change it later. They did i don't think i got all the card promotions i know there was no activation charges and a 150 dolllar card and a 50 i think after its been active for for x amount of days 90 maybe. I'm new to t-mobile so kinda clueless as I went. I if you go to the t-mobile promotions site and login the i saw then 50 Costco was submitted promo.

Netflix on us is 2 screens only HD 14.99 a month tier. You can still get the 19.99 a month tier for 4K hdr/Atmos but they charge you the price differential on your bill. You also get Apple TV plus for free. That's pretty much it. I'm getting 5GUC speeds on par with my spectrum ultra internet 500mbps/25mbps .. so it's a good plan for me and for people that have many lines as they give you your 6th line for free.

Still be careful with setting up service upgrading etc at those random locations at malls and stores as those guys work on commision and will lie so bad to you it's ridiculous

I was even lied to in a T-Mobile store by a non commission employee. He told me my S23 would qualify for the $1000 iPhone 15 pro upgrade. Luckily I had another phone that did. He also told me all 3 of the phones I was upgrading would get max value and never mentioned the value limit so only 2/3 phones got max value on their tier list on this plan.. 5G go plus

I am on Magenta with 4 lines (2 Paid + 2 Free)
Paid 2 line = $120 - 20% Insider Hookup discount ($24) = $96

When i contact customer service, They say, If i upgrade to any of the Go5G plan, i can still retain the 2 free lines, insider hookup discount and auto pay discount.

So for total 4 lines (2 paid + 2 free)

Go5G Upgrade = $130 - 20% Insider Hookup discount ($26) = $104

Go5G Plus Upgrade = $150 - 20% Insider Hookup discount ($30) = $120

Has anyone upgraded with a free line on their account to Go5G? Is the full amount for the free lines credited after upgrade? Can i believe the customer service and upgrade to Go5G? Appreciate any help. Thanks.

I would fact check everything I don't know what your hookup thing is all about but talk to someone in store and compare notes to what T-Mobile says online or phone
