Ok. So that will be $10 increase not $5.
Decided not to do it, would need to upgrade to go5g next to benefit the most.

T-Mobile is increasingly just being like the other carriers now. I'm surprised this isn't 36 months of credits like Verizon does.
you can go verizon first and do tmobile's keep and switch after 3 months

eSIM works just fine and is more convenient. Why do we want the sim slot back?
Because when you want to switch to an Android phone, you don't have to contact the customer support. I bought an iPhone 15 from work and I couldn't switch that number to my older android phone as I wanted to use my iPhone with my personal number. They refused to help me till a few weeks ago

Not true
Wrong. If you buy through Apple the phone is unlocked. It has to be bought from Apple.

I like to keep a backup phone in case my main phone needs to be repaired.

It is true. Phone purchased directly from Apple will be automatically unlocked. I did it every year.

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.
Pretty much on same boat.. no Good deal for Simple Choice since the iPhone 13 upgrade that Bestbuy gave.. I missed the boat on 14 upgrade when they offered similar like 13 but just $100 more..

Again, the cost I pay to T-Mobile is just $20/month with unlimited 5G... So, sill ok to go and get full price iPhone unlocked from Apple and pay in monthly non cost EMI via Apple card...

Go5G Next only !!!
Again, all of us with old Plans and 12 Lines paying close to Zero a month are getting the shaft again !
If you think that getting 12 lines and paying close to zero a month is getting the shaft, you need to get a reality check. Gen Z?

Apparently this has changed recently.

Last week an Apple CS told me she just bought an iPhone from Apple Store with T-mobile EIP and was surprised to find out T-mobile locked her phone during activation. All iPhones from Apple Store are unlocked but carriers are free to lock them when activated with carrier EIPs.

I'm still hoping this is not true as the Apple FAQ still only mentions iPhones with AT&T EIP would be locked.

That's a good deal. Sounds like a Kickstarter plan from Sprint.

tmobile used to be the best when it comes to deals on new iphone deals. didn't need expensive plan upgrade that would cost 3 times more than the new iphone price with upgrade.
been now with them for 21 years and i have 13 pro. happy with it but have been unable to upgrade since I get almost nothing for my 13 pro from tmobile and then need expensive plan upgrade.
Same here been with them for 15 years unable to upgrade after 12 pro, I'm moving to visible

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 am sooooo sick of hearing these rants. You had a chance of jumping to a better plan years ago. But you were so stubborn to stay with your so-called great SC plans that you hung on and now you are beetching and moaning. TMO has given so many great opportunities for great deals on their services but you stood still. I was one of the later to jump from SC and I still managed 9 lines for $116 on Go5g Plus. I am dumb at math but I am pretty sure that's better than $28 a line and I am still getting at least $800 phone deals (I don't have any need for pro or max). I know people with 9+ lines paying less than $100. Cry me a river.
