Quote from ouloat :
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
Is there an easy way to figure out which promotions are sensitive to cancelations? My situation:

I went to Costco two days ago and added lines for my parents, who were going to port in. Now I've learned that they were on tmobile all along, so their ports are not actually ports and I have to cancel those new lines (which are each netting me $175 Costco GCs and about $400 off a new phone each).

I figure I can at least keep 1 by canceling my own line and taking my phone to one of the new numbers (I use a GV number so I don't care what my TMo number is). Then maybe I'll have one of my parents (the new users) port over to some MVNO before for a few months and then port in after 3 months, so I'll have only canceled one line.

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

But some people are taking advantage of the iPhone 16 promo b/c they're doing the BOGO lines promo. And the iPhone promo requires a new line + trade-in.

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).
Actually i have a phone number at google voice right now I'd like to port. I went to costco the other day they said that they were giving 200 gift cards for new clients. I think the gift cards are for people who transfer in from At&t and verizon. I dont think they give anything though for people with Google Voice.

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)
Go to any of the iPhone 16 device product pages on T-Mobile website. Here's the iPhone 16 Pro page, https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-pho...one-16-pro

Towards the top of the page, there is this text "See 9 promotions", click/tap it and it will open up the available promotions for the device. Each promo with have a "see Details" link to go deeper into the details of that promo option.

If you're on the base Go5G plan, and you don't want to get any new lines, your only option to get an iPhone 16 series device is the following promo:

"Up to $300 off with trade on Go5G
Via 24 monthly bill credits when you trade in an eligible device on a Go5G plan."

So you can upgrade one of your current lines and trade in an eligible device for $300 off, over 24-mos of bill credits. Eligible devices are the same as the ones from the original post details; Apple iPhone 11 Pro or newer, Samsung S9 or newer, etc..

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.

When I login it takes me to the Tmo business site. That does not reflect this deal.

It looks like I can checkout on the normal site as a guest. Anyone know if that will work for a military account, which they treat as business?

The only slickdeal worthy offer from T-Mobile was for the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL, which didn't require the higher tier plans. All these other offers especially from Apple that required higher tier plans are poop.

Samsung needs to step up the plate and offer like Google did.

Did you try searching for it. It's on page 11.

Thanks for pointing that out! I did a search, but nothing came up. I thought it was odd, especially since earlier phone plans qualified for the promotion.

There is no going back after this deal. I'm just waiting for another one like it.

No new lines required. Just large trade in values for cheap phones.

I had the same issue getting my credits a few years ago. They finally just flat out said I wasn't eligible.

I couldn't talk to anyone in the US. So frustrating.

I filled out a BBB complaint and instantly got a call from a very nice woman who solved my problem instantly.

Try that.
Yep, I filed with bbb last month. They paid off one of my pixel 8 for $500 and the whole month of my bill . The tmobile rep was so nice. My bill keeps going up every month before I contacted bbb. I went from 9 lines down to 6 but my bill was higher lol. My 3 business tablet lines are now $30 total and the ipads are free as well. Lol

It doesn't require lines, either.

However, you don't get Android or iPhone.

You also have to be on a much pricier plan. I guess it makes sense for people who aren't on a cheap T-Mobile godfathered plan, like I have (Magenta 55+).

I only pay 80 dollars for two lines…
