I have not completed the transaction yet. I have a total of 3 lines, need to coordinate with the other two users. I am paying $110 for 3 unlimited lines at tmobile at the moment. This will drop the monthly cost to $90. The free and convenient roaming feature at tmobile is the only thing holding us back given we travel quite a bit lately. I think this is a fantastic deal once everything is set up. Hope my other 2 users could cooperate in time for this. Thanks for the post.

Thankfully I've never had to deal with them, but bizarre how they just keep on doing it, profits over rep I guess. Afaik it's a Verizon company.
It's Tracfone which is owned by Verizon. Absolutely atrocious support, lesson learned.

I did this deal about a month ago. There is a ton of good discussion about it over on Reddit. Once you get it straightened out, it's an amazing deal... $30/mo for service and a year of D+ no ads.

Quote from MikeWheelz :
I was able to take advantage of the: $65 / promo $30
Can, mex, parts of South America Premium 5G Ultra, & Disney + no ads. So this is a good one for me. It's a direct match of the Verizon-direct full priced plans. And I receive over 400Mbps on the speed test. And it's only $15 more than the Visible basic BYEBYETMO deal they had last month.
You can upgrade to the disney+ (no ads) bundle with hulu (no ads) for $4 more or if you prefer to add MAX, then you pay the difference.

That international piece is nice with T-mobile if you are traveling a lot. But in my experience try to get a local sim of that country. Like I went to India and Thailand and you need to have the cell phone plans from there because everything goes thru a sms code. I also recommend this https://getesimtravel.com. Since everything works on data anyway you can purchase that data pack. There's many other esims such as Roamless & Saily but "get e-sim" In my option gives the best data bucket for the cost.

Sorry, maybe I missed it, but how long does the 50% discount last? It's surely not for the full five years, is it?

supposed to be five years, but you might have to fight for it, try to get through to their CS, and eventually get it refunded, and then the same thing every month after that. good luck. would be a good deal otherwise.

Hard to believe in this economy. But yes the 5 years locked in. Even a better deal highest tier plan. D+ which was about $7/month ad free in 2020 roughly now is a whopping $16/month ad free. I imagine that even with D+ price increase in the future they should still cover as long as you maintain active service, just like how TMO has been covering Netflix for its customer even with all the rate increases.
