Deal Details
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.

Really well. Remember that the iPhone SE (2022) has the same processor as the iPhone 13 (despite having a screen/body similar to the iPhone 6-8).

I got the email a week after adding a new line to the family plan and putting the SIM in an iPhone XR. Haven't decided yet if I want to do this or not.

I put a SIM card from a free line into an xr last night. Let's see if I get an email

Wondering why the other 2 lines that have had the xr for years hasn't triggered the eligibility

You think the 11 user uses mobile data more? I'm wondering if a heavy data user would get it triggered more vs someone who is usually on WiFi
