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.

I had 2 older devices that qualified for the retirement. 1 iPhone 4s qualified for the Se 3. The other one only qualified for a cheap android. I tried to get the Se 3 but the manager called up and said it was not possible.
Currently have 2 lines each using an xr, no emails yet.
Motorola moto g 5G 2023
Nokia G310 5G
OnePlus Nord N300 5G
T-Mobile REVVL 6 5G, REVVL 6x 5G"
I need help in deciding on the phone Which is best for battery, performance, and international usage (bands)??

One line had a 4s. That one qualified for an se 3.
For both, had to go in store. The manager overrides something. For the flip phone, he had to call in because I asked to try for the se 3 but they only gave him android options.

If your existing line is on iPhone, I can confirm the document they should look for is "2022 Trade P6" (yes 2022), and everything should be zeroed out at the POS - need manager to override. I got the SE 3 just a few days ago. I think you could go to Twitter to ask T-Force about the situation and see what they say, and better get it done before end of 2023. Hope you will get the phone eventually.
*** This is only for 2G Shutdown targeted phone line, not for this 4G deal
