4 lines $100 + tax x 24 months = ~ $3,000
+ 4 iphones for trade in = ~ 800
Total = $3,800

Price of 4 iPhones 15 = $830 x 4 = $3,320
Price of Service for 2 yeas = ~ 480 = 20 a month = $5 per line
Be sure to check but I think essentials plan does not include taxes and fees. It says 4--38% for taxes!!! That means up to about $45/month in Taxes. I couldn't see anything about eligible phones except the blurb for iPhone 11 trade is enough for a free iPhone 15 and the iPhone 7 is only valued at about $415 off, so probably other models are somewhere in between.

More details needed!
I can confirm that essentials price does not include taxes and fees. For 6 lines in NC taxes and fees is about 28$ total.

Quote from UniqueAlpaca719 :
This is Tmobile's scheme of trying to get their legacy customers to drop the grandfathered plan and switch to one of their latest plans. Sneaky bastards. They are basically just like other carriers even though they like to tout their "uncarrier" ways. When CEO John Leguire left, I knew the uncarrier initiative was over.
Why I left last week after 20+ years with T-Mobile for work and the last 6 years with 5 on a family plan. Ported over to Google Fi....identical coverage...It's T-Mobile...no drama, a Pixel 7a free after 2 years credits at a fraction of the cost...no activation charges. Porting 3 lines couldn't have been easier.

Don't forget their new AutoPay means no CC payments. If you use CC it's $5 more per line per month. My CC offers phone protection if paid with it, with 5 lines it's $25 extra a month. I guess it's Tmobile's way to drive up device protection sales on their side.

According to the fine print, iPhone XR.



Interesting twist Tmo... But it looks like you have to sign up for 4 NEW lines...



To avoid the DCC, and probably get a few other perks (possibly Costco GCs?), I'd consider activating at Costco for this deal if your local Costco has a Tmo kiosk. I mean, even if you don't have a Costco membership, you'd absolutely offset the $140 in DCC charges ($35x4).
Costco does not charge activation fees?

Sign up for autopay and pay before the due date with the card you have phone protection with.

Can you elaborate on how you'd pay with that credit card using auto pay and not get charged $5 more? I'm not understanding how your way would avoid the extra charge.

Been on this plan for years. 4 lines plus watch line $118/month. Keep in mind you get some but not all of the extras. No Netflix. Yes YTTV discount. Yes free MLB TV, which my family loves.
