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?
BOGO is for new lines. In your situation, you will be adding 2 lines; line 6 will be whatever the cost is for an additional line on your plan, and line 7 will be free.

This iPhone deal lets you get a new iPhone 16 series free (w/ bill credits), when you: 1) add a new line, 2) trade-in an eligible phone.

So if you do the BOGO line offer, you can get 2x iPhone 16 series free, with trade-ins.

There are other promotions that do not require a new line, but the bill credits might be less, depending on your plan.

Click on the "See 9 Promotions" link on top of the iPhone 16 device, to see all the promotions. If you're not on one of the latest plans, you're looking at $200-300 off, for a phone upgrade with eligible device.

Yes, someone on reddit recommended just that. Also, people suggested emailing CEO of.t-mobile as well. Ultimately, I decided to file class suit against them since there were a lot of victims on reddit. Long story short, it was just too much work filing the class suit when my personal life was just loaded with other to-dos. So, I just considered it as a loss and just let others know when T-mobile trade-in deals pop up. But thanks, I will try the complaints to FCC.

Actually not too late for FCC complaint.

no line cancellation for last 90 days for this deal to work. Port out might count as cancellation. You should talk to T-Force and have them confirm port out is OK in writing.

BOGO and iPhone trade in are two different promotions? I thought they were.

Thanks, that makes it a bit more clear. Where to click to see the "See 9 Promotions"? Do you have the URL? I couldn't understand your last sentence about $200-300 off. I am on regular Go5G (not Plus or Next)

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".

Just did the trade in offer for the Google pixel, so far no issues. Know your consumer rights. File complaints with the FTC, BBB, and your AGs office. That will get their attention without the customer service BS.
