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.

So I have an interesting data point. Sort of related.

I got 3 x iPhone 14 pro from Verizon. Approx cost $1000/phone. Paid the tax upfront ($63/device). Then paid 3 months worth of phone plan ($45/line bc I also ported my actual number).

I then ported over my numbers through Costco promo. Using their keep and switch $800/line. They deceived me and told me I'd also qualify for the $250/line ported over. But then obviously they claimed you can't combine with the $800 promo. I still got the $75 Costco cash/line.

All in I paid $3812 to Verizon for the 3 phones (unlocked). Got back $2400 cash from T-Mobile (keep n switch). Another $250 for one phone's port in promo. Another $225 for Costco cash. Total paid approx $1000 for 3 iphone 14 pros. Plus 3 months of free wireless service. Plus prob approx 20k AA points from portal shopping. Id say way better than this deal ...

Waiting for the crazy black Friday deals

Just looked it up and my simple choice is better for data and hotspots and international traveling/data outside the U.S. this plan is to lure the people who opted out of the plan changes to put them on something similar but that benefits them not us and they're using the "iPhone 15 deal" to get you to do it. That and who knows if they can change your plan later. I rather stay grandfathered in my current plan

>Video in SD

I stopped trusting tmobile "upgrades" when they started throttling HD video back in 2015(?). I think the whole point of these deals is to limit the amount of HD streaming as 4K videos become more prevalent, and to reduce the future burden on their network. Watching anything was unbearable for the couple weeks I changed plans, until switched back.

Buy iphone 14s.. really not much of a difference. Get Mint Mobile if you are not heavy data user.

T-mobile needs to go back to their non-greedy base when Legere started first Uncarrier. They are as big of crooks right now as they other ones are.
The biggest difference is the picture quality and the "dynamic island" but if that's not a concern, then yes, I agree with you that it's not much of a difference.

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.
bottom line here is you gotta trust this company (who has been compromised a few times in recent history)with your debit or bank draft info to get that sweet autopay discount of $5 PER LINE

Yes, trade in needed. Yes, "free" phones via 24 mo credits. Yes, $35 activation fee. Yes, high speed limited to 50gb, Yes, no unlimited hotspots.
i'm not that familiar with the Essentials plan but it seems like a reasonable way to get free phones every 2 years.
Just wanted to point out that this offer will give you free iPhone 15 with trade in but don't expect free phones with trade in every 2 years. Even magenta max doesn't give you that.

I don't understand the "4 new lines"—does that mean if I'm already a T-Mobile customer that I'd lose my numbers? Don't understand why carriers can't just make it simple: we'll give you a new iPhone if you agree to stay with us 2 more years. Period.

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.
Thinking of doing the same thing. I have 3 lines with One All In Promo plan for$80 and 2GB cap per line. However, I can't add a 4th line. Anyone knows what Google Fi uses for 4G. I have an old Samsung Folder2 phone that may not do 5G.

On the website, you can't seem to trade in for an iPhone 15 on this plan. Text seems to indicate its possible though;

Free iPhones: Contact us before cancelling service to continue remaining bill credits, or credits stop & balance on required finance agreements is due (e.g., $829.99 – iPhone 15 128GB). Tax on pre-credit price due at sale. Qualifying credit, service, & trade-in (e.g., save $830: iPhone XR) required
