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 bobofoosh :
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
I am not sure what your point to me is? My point is that this is a one time offer. It doesn't mean in 2 years it will be guaranteed to be available again so I doubt you can get free phones every 2 years.

I'm still on Simple Choice paying $95 total a month for 3 lines with unlimited everything. Not sure about hotspotting and no Netflix etc but those new plans are $$$. Also I've been complaining to Tmo about service at my house for 5 years because it CRAWLS even with full bars 5G UC.... Verizon and ATT are basic cable internet fast (50-70mbps) at my house so it's super frustrating.

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.
Actually, I disagree. The regular 15's got a major upgrade this year. Dynamic Island, even brighter screens, much better cameras with a proper 2x zoom this time, much improved internals (X70 modem which has way better speeds, better in low signal areas), and the list goes on. It made sense to say it last year because the 14 had almost no differences from the 13.

Edit: and USB-C! That's a huge one.

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.
It's a pain, but you set up with bank auto pay, but still go online and make manual pmt with a cc for the protection and still get the discount.

IDGAF anymore I bought random carrier sims for 45 dollars every 3 months and use Google voice.
I just need network.
so 15 dollars a month
or 180 a year in phone bills. For singles doing that is likely the best deal they can get right now.

or if family plans if they can do 10 lines for 10 dollars or something.

Thanks, so you can keep doing that and you'll still get the discount for that month and following months?

How does the essential plan compare to simple choice?

I have simple choice plan with 3 phone lines and 1 data only line and it's $100 plus fees.

I really need another phone line and don't need the data line. So it sounds like the essential plan will be roughly same price, but I'll have 4 phone lines.

I'm a loosing anything going from simple choice to essential plan?

Essential plan doesn't offer any phones for free, you have to be on Go5G Plus to get free iPhones when trade in which is $185 p/m. This deal is misleading.
