Since the new iphones came out today, was checking out what Tmobile offered and came across this:

You'll get one time credit for trading your previous iphone.
That is upto $1000 depends on models and condition
Iphon 16 pro 128gb cost is $999.99
This is why T-mobile says "it on us"
On the other hand, Go 5G next plan is separate thing.
Regarding "Bill credits end if you pay off device early" in the T&C, if I pay off and upgrade now, my bill credits will still be good since this condition doesn't exist in the old upgrade offer when I bought the phone last year. Am I correct?
Probably not worth it at all to change plans to save $1300 and be funneled into the higher price plan right?
I always buy an eSIM card and use that instead.

1. Get the device on a payment plan and get the monthly credits
2. Pay off and unlock the device immediately
3. Sell the now paid off device while its still new and full price
4. Continue to receive the monthly bill credits, effectively getting discounted service
If you are someone who is just looking to get a device at reduced cost, and who probably wont travel outside the USA anytime soon (so like, most people), then the policy change doesnt effect you.
Its just annoying because its clearly a move to make it more difficult to change carriers, and removes a lot of flexibility for folks who like to just own their device.
So... eh. Im too old and jaded to get angry about this stuff anymore. Business gonna business.
On a related note, wow TMobiles payment processing system is fed in the a this morning. So glad I woke my ass up at 5am to try and give them my money. Guess I have to try in person later today.
The experience with modern tech is so magical!
Haven't done a Tmobile phone deal in years so can someone tell this newbie why it's not a good deal?

Play the carrier's game. Take advantage of the promotions that are available.
