I received an email earlier today from T-Mobile saying that one of my lines (which currently has an iPhone XR) was eligible to upgrade to a new 5G phone for free to better take advantage of the network. I am on the Simple Choice North America Promo plan with several free lines so this seems like it must apply to a lot of plans.
The fine print in the email (see images in link) made it seem like it was limited to just the Moto G 5G (meh), so I reached out to T-Force via Twitter to ask if any other phones qualified. They confirmed that the iPhone SE 3rd Gen, Nokia G310, Nord 300, and REVVL 6/6X also qualified, but that you had to complete the transaction in store.
I had to go to the mall tonight so stopped by the T-Mobile store after confirming that my account was annotated and the SE was in stock and was able to upgrade to the 128GB black model for the $35 support fee and tax. Bill credits seem to be in process.
You may want to reach out to T-Force to confirm and have them annotate your account as that definitely helped at the store.
I was able to take advantage of the
June 2022 deal for another line that had an old iPhone on it so it's been nice to get a couple upgrades for the kiddos.
Hope this helps a few people.

You need to go in store and get a manager override to get an iPhone SE, which they'll only do if you qualify for the emailed promotion (and have the associated segment on your account/line.
I guess you don't have a email with a code on it - nothing can be done in store. She had no idea who was even targeted for the promotion - tried to tell me I had to be T-mobile for 20 years to get targeted promotion.

he has simple choice.
There were 2 lines that qualified for the free 5g phones from the last promotion. One had a 4s and qualified for the se3. The other qualified for a cheap android since that user did not have an iPhone. I tried for the se3 but manager would was told over the phone that it could not be the se3.
Also, keep in mind that most Tmobile reps will do the eSIM activation on the se3. This is important if you want to go back to using a SIM card. You would have to purchase one.
I'm on a 15 pm and miss the simplicity of swapping sims to any other device.
Like I said before. T-Mobile needs to step up their game. Like sooner than later. Their iPhone 15 deals are lackluster.
