Yes, $10/mo more ... or $240 over 24 months. But, you receive up to $1000 for your trade in.

There is an option to stay on Go5G Plus and do a trade-in up to $830... so, maybe that is better?

Called the number two weeks ago to add 2 lines. Been getting the run around from T-Mobile. I've spent hours on the phone with telesales, Philippines call centers, T-Force, Costco in-store. Nobody can figure out why they haven't shipped. They just keep stringing me along. I've realized that T-Mobile is a complete joke. They had gotten better over the last few years, now back to same old garbage carrier. About ready to port back to Verizon. Good luck with T-Mobile. And last month they tried to charge me $1200 in data roaming even though im on magenta max and international data is included - what a goat rope that was getting it removed. I've wasted more of my time dealing with their BS then I'd save just paying Verizon $10 a day for international and $60 a month for Gogo internet. TMOBILE SUCKS.

I consolidated multiple posts into this one... I didn't know these two promos stacked, so hopefully this post will help someone else.

That have buy two lines get a line free. So you only pay for 3 lines for the 4 lines. $185 Go5G Plus plan. If you are newly porting over, I suggest you asking the rep for the Insider Code Hookup, which gives you 20% off your plan lifetime. Make sure they apply the Insider Code before creating your account.
