I just went to the store to complete this deal.

When I spoke with the TMobile rep, she said that you cannot get away from removing the $15 extra data plan. If you do remove it, you really have NO data in your line. It also does not allow her to fall back into the data that should have come with our SC plan. For the time being, I 've kept my $15 extra data plan until I get my hands on the new phones.

Does anyone try this with the new line of service w/o the $15 data plan? Do you fall back to having the SC default data of 2.5GB or 4GB on the line?

Call 611 and speak to retention or tforce and they should mirror what you have on your other data lines

Costco t-mobile deal seems better. $800 credit for new phone and $400 new line promo. iPhone 15 sells for $829.

This has to be done in the Go 5G Plus or Next plan

you should be able to remove the data. I have done it several times over the years, call them. If you get an overseas rep, hang up and call until you get a US based rep or go through T-force

and to clarify, your plan should already include unlimited data. A rep once told me it's just a system glitch that forces you to add the plan when adding a new line.

Thanks everyone for the suggestion.

I called in today and ended up talking to a non-US call center to handle my request. The rep was pretty helpful and had his supervisor approved and changed my lines data plan.

I originally had the 2.5GB SC plan on current account and all of the lines were 'upgraded' when T-Mobile gave us unlimited data. So when I inquire now to have the $25 6GB SC data removed on those 2 new lines and default back to my account's data plan, they ended up giving me this Data addon called:
SC 4/100 3GB Data & SMHS $0.00/mo

Compare to what I have in my existing lines
Unlimited Data with 4GB Smartphone Mobile Hotspot$0.00/mo

I will probably call in again to see if I can get applied with the unlimited option to match the rest of my SC lines, but 3GB is fine for usage of those lines for just $0.

Did you actually have the unlimited SC plan to begin with or it was 'upgraded' into unlimited by T-Mobile to your lines about 2-3 yrs ago?

Simple Choice plans "simply" do not qualify, per multiple reps on multiple calls.

If I add a new line, how long would I have to wait to cancel a different, old line but still get the bill credits?

I originally had the 2.5 GB on every line and then they upgraded all lines to unlimited. I have added a few lines since then and always had to remove the $15 data plan afterwards.

Glad you got good service from the overseas rep. The only reason I said hang up if you get an overseas rep is that I have had numerous negative experiences and been misinformed by the overseas team. Then I would have to call back and get someone stateside to correct the problem

Whenever you remove $15 data plan, did you get any push back for them to match to the "free" Unlimited data? Just want to line up the story before i call back Smilie

No not that I can recall...once they even told me it's just how their system is setup to add a line on a grandfathered plan.

Not sure about the upgrade process. I was able to get this deal by adding a new line and porting in a Google Voice number.
Hi @Wah_Jai,

I am already a simple plan tmobile customer, i would like to understand the steps that you followed especially for step 2

Step 1 : Get the google voice no.

Step 2 : While getting the google voice no., it asks for an existing US no. , can i still give my existing t-mobile no. ? This is where I am not sure if this is going to be an issue if i were to associate the google voice with my primary t-mobile cell no.

Step 3: Assuming step 2 is not an issue then go on google voice and proceed by paying $3

Step4: Go ahead and click slickdeals link and chose iphone 14 or 14 plus and specify the google voice no. on t-mobile order page

you cant get this "simple choice" plan anymore. so its irrelevant.


fyi, its a family plan. starting with at least 2 lines. unlimited everything, unlimited text and roaming wordwide. starting like $69 for 2 line plus $10 for each addtional line. used to include unlimited youtube too (youtube did not count toward their data).
Simple Choice was a Family plan available more than 15 years ago , $50 for 2 lines, $5 additional line, unlimited everything and worldwide roaming. Data is unlimited one tier under the max, i.e. 4G vs 5G, hence I pay for unlimited fast data on two lines, which costs me another $35. It aligns my cost to their current plans but I don't bother to upgrade. Back then TMobile was fighting for survival and had competitive prices.
