T-Mobile is increasingly just being like the other carriers now. I'm surprised this isn't 36 months of credits like Verizon does.

I have a simple choice plan with 5 lines. Basically it costs me $28/line with unlimited everything. But since Iphone 12 pro max, there are no good deals unless you switch to Go 5G Next plan which is ridiculosly expensive and insane and no brainer.

I would suggest to buy first 10% off Apple Gift Cards (+additional 5% off by using your credit card depending on your rotating category) at Target offers it and then load those gift cards to your wallet and purchase via Apple Web Store fully unlocked or 2nd best option to buy from Costco store but then it comes with Apple Care

I would consider this but there's a huge problem. T-mobile locks the phone from other SIMs (even other International e-Sims) which makes a device on a payment plan useless for international travel.
Tmobile gives free data in a lot of countries now. Was just in Ireland and got 5gb free high speed data ... YMMV of course based on plan.

But agree with the general sentiment ... TMobile keeps pushing the goal post with plan changes....

Which carrier is normally the best for phone deals? T mobile seems pricey now. I've upgraded from the one plan to magenta max, now to the new one.

Simple choice plan here. Pretty much excluded from all offers. I have managed to get some good deals via Tmo/Best Buy which is no longer an option now. We are better off buying unlocked phones. I've seen folks able to cancel apple care after costco purchase.

That's because with Go5G Plus plan, you get to upgrade every two years.
You need to wait 2 year to become upgrade free iphone.

But Go5G next, you can upgrade every year.
So, next year you can upgrade for free if you have Go5g Plus plan.
As well as Go5g Next.
Obviously, old plan no free phone + no Apple TV plus + No hulu + free International 5G data
and more.

Just remember, you no longer get upfront credit and more importantly, if you pay off your phone early, you forfeit the remaining of the credit.
Is this something new and applied to all upgrades now? I am planning to pay off and upgrade my S24U when the S25U come out. If I loose the current monthly credits, forget about the upgrades.

This was change like 2 months ago. But you should confirm with TForce before paying off.

You can do the upgrade via Apple - same terms and credit amount as ordering direct from T-Mo - and get an unlocked iPhone.

eSIM works just fine and is more convenient. Why do we want the sim slot back?
I like to swap out my SIM card between Android and Apple. eSIM can't do that crap easily. Plus when traveling international, physical SIM cards are easier to manage.

Need me to drop other basic knowledge on you while you try to sound almighty?
