With Essentials:
- Is it 50G per line or for all 4 lines?
- How much are the additional lines?

I have all of the listed features and pay 140$ including taxes and fees with autopay for 3 lines.. I have free iPhones paid over 24months. No trade ins were necessary.
Also, free data and text while international roaming in 215 countries, calls at 0.25$
If you cancel service before all 24 of your monthly bill credits are applied, you will forfeit any remaining bill credits that were supposed to be applied and will owe any remaining balance due on your iPhone 15 device(s).
Translation: You are also forced to get your trade-in credit as 24 monthly payments.
If you want to cut out early, you lose all of the trade-in credits they haven't paid you yet. I'm not sure how that's not just outright theft, but it is a terrible deal for consumers to allow this practice. They get full price for their phone, but you don't for yours if the contract ends early.
Another scam to lock you in or cheat you out of your trade-in value.
That is what I am considering.
I got grand father plan that is 4 lines for 70 + 10/each for 4G data for 2 lines and no data for 2 lines = total plans $93.39 (with tax and service included) + 20 data total my month bill is about $112 now (4 lines with 2 line without date).
I was looking into the Verizon new iPhone 14 Plus offers but now I am interested in this.
But I prefer to have unlimited international data. Will this new basic plan come with that?

This deal is not applicable for existing essentials - unless I upgrade to more expensive Magenta plans.
Is the only option is to move to Verizon or ATT ? Can we get a similar deal for TCO - Plan plus Phones (4 lines) for 24 months that is similarly priced ?
Example for trade in one of iphones 12 pro:
Trade in tier - $830
Fair Market Value - $235
Now the Fair market value will be given as one time bill credit and minus to $830 tier
$830-$235 = $595
The $595 will be the total less on the iPhone 15
iPhone 15 whole price is $829.99 - $590 = $234.99
Then the $234.99 will be divided in to 24 months and it is $9.80
Looks like another scam from T-mobile.
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.

From the deal:
Upon sending in and approval of your trade-in device by T-Mobile, **** you will receive your trade-in value divided into 24 bill credits applied monthly to the monthly payments owed **** for your new iPhone 15 device(s) on your account.
In your example, you're not getting the $235 off the $830 price of the new phone. You're paying $830 for the new phone in 24 payments, so you have an additional monthly charge of $830/24 = $34.58 payment. Your trade in is worth $235, so you get 24 monthly credits of $9.80.
If you cancel or pay off 12 months early, you still owe half on the new phone - $415 due (aka ye olde early termination fee).
However, you ** don't ** get the half of your trade-in credit back. i.e. T-Mobile keeps the $117.50 they were crediting at $9.80 a month, while charging you the full payment for the new phone.
That's the rip-off part. You're buying a phone at full MSRP price, no matter what. Not a slick deal.

What's the rip off here? You sign a 24-month bill credit deal and you need to stay for 24 months to get it. Paying off early doesn't mean those credits are given right away. Of the three big carriers, T-Mo is the only one who lets you pay off early and upgrade and still continue to get credits on the phone. AT&T and VZ are even stricter and gives 36-month credits.
