I have 5 lines on T-mobile currently, all iphones. How can I get this offer with trade-in of current iphones?
It all depends on your current T-Mo plan. Plus if all or any of the lines still have EIP (still receiving credit from trade-ins). Plus this deal is mediocre at best. You would have to add a new line which is another $20 to T-Mo.

This maybe super dumb question but if my SOC qualifies, do I just buy phone at apple and call T-Mobile?

None of the 5 lines have EIP.
So if I understood correctly, I need to add a new 6th line for no reason?
Also, how does BOGO works in my situation?

No.

This promotion is for SDers with grandfathered plans, not completely new service. You can get other deals with other promotions as a new customer, like the 4 iPhone 16 Pros with 4 Essentials lines for $100 deal that is on T-mobile's homepage.

They are still giving more for trade-ins. If you try to do a trade-in there is an additional promo trade in value added. I did my mom's iPhone 13 and they would give $300 for it. Same price as it's selling for on ebay. But it's through monthly bill credits only.

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".

File a complaint on the FTC website and you'll have any problems solved within a week. I had to do it twice with two different wireless service providers and both times I had a high level representative call me back and fix the problems I had in a short call.

Best to go with the BOGO lines if you need a line and then you have a extra line for free. But, you cannot drop any of your old lines for a year (I think). You cannot drop the purchase line to retain the free line from the BOGO. If you do then the free line will be a charged line. I would read over the reddit thread posted from OP. https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/..._going_on/

Talked with customer care on SWAC it would require an upgrade to another rate plan as they said I have maxed out my lines with 4 lines with +1 on us. They said I could do an essentials plan and get a BOGO + the trade-in deal, but I don't need 7 lines
