You can do it after, not before. Almost all of these promos have "If you have cancelled lines in past 90 days, you may need to reactivate them first." But nothing is stopping you from porting out then porting back in after you received the phone. Just be careful you are not violating another promo terms, like Costco giftcard (wait until received) or the BOGO line (1 year without any cancellations).

What would porting out AFTER the transaction net you?

YMMV, but I still have not received the trade-in credits from 5 years ago after spending 50+ hours on the phone with reps, twitter reps, chat reps. Even considered suing them. I figured it just is not worth my time any more but I would not recommend T-mobile to my worst enemy especially if it involves "trade-in".

Is this if you join Go5g Plus or Next? I'm on a Magenta 55+ plan for $35 each line, trading in direct with Apple would be cheaper in the long term vs doing this with T-Mobile due to the higher plan cost

I tried that when I ported out to xfinity because xfinity had promotion. But when I tried to add a brand new line, the system wouldn't let me. I contacted CSR, they said, I couldn't add a new line until 90 days from the date I ported out the old line.

My response specific to redlikemethodz's scenario. Port out (different line) after + port in (new line) after = net 0 plan cost change (excluding the time with the new line). But this is only for the detail oriented; there are many ways to screw this up:

1) Porting out a number with promotions will kill the promotions
2) Porting out a free line number will kill the free line
3) Porting out when other promotions require no cancellations
