BOGO is it's own separate promotion with it's own SOC list. If your plan's SOC doesn't qualify for it, then sorry, it won't stack. Post your plan's SOC so other SDers know what works for the iPhone 16 but not for the BOGO.

Quote from whodiini :
Correct. That is what I usually do if I need it unlocked. But that means you pay off the entire phone right away and then wait 2 years to get the credits back. If apple provides an unlocked phone, then you your initial up front payment is minimized (tax mainly) because you buy it on a monthly payment plan and get the credits monthly, so they offset for 2 years. The major downside is the trade-in risk. I have had a tradein of a perfectly working phone that Tmobile refused to honor the tradein value with no recourse.

So to minimize the trade-in risk, I decided to get an S9 on ebay for $100. If it works as the OP says, it gets $830 credits. So if I get a 16 Pro base for 999, then I will get it for 999+tax-830+100= 170 up front (7% tax) and $7/mo + addition line ($10/mo) = ~ $20 a month for 24 months = $650 all in for 16 Pro + 1 line
Since you will be working with a person, confirm with your Apple Store employee first that they can do ID240725 (iPhone 16) and ID240574 (BOGO) before ordering the S9. Doubt this deal is going away anytime soon.

My understanding is most plans qualify for the BOGO line offer. Is there a list of soc for the BOGO? My plans SOC is 70GBUNL12

Most plans do qualify for the BOGO, so it's surprising yours do not. I don't know of a public facing SOC list for BOGO; none on SWAC site. I thought you said an agent told you that you don't qualify for the BOGO; you could always try again to double check.

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.
I traded my wife's iPhone 13 at the Apple store, and they gave me $400.00.

My promo tmobile 6gb simple choice qualifies, but the AAL aspect kills it for me. I have 5 lines, already don't really use 2 of them (were 2016 bogo). Are people cancelling after approval and using the device on a primary line?

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?

I went into the store and was told that on our grandfathered Simple Choice Family Plan with unlimited talk and text that I would only get $200 for my iPhone 13 trade in on an iPhone 16. Dropping from $840 to $640 so no deal for me.

I was hoping for a deal for iPhone's for those of us on simple choice since they had the pixel 9/pro promotion

I'd even be happy with an iPhone 14 at half price for any old iPhone trade in.

come on tmobile !

Originally on Magenta Max plan. If I do want the $1000 tradein credit toward the new phone I will need to "upgrade" to the Go5G Plus plan which will cost $49/mth more. I get the same service level and the only difference is the free phone after every 2 yrs. Not really and upgrade but more of payment of $50/mth for a new phone. This is a bad deal to me.

FYI - originally my Magenta Max plan was suppose to provide a free upgrade to a phone every 2 yrs until they changed it and came up with this new Go5G Plan. They will probably do the same in 2 yrs and come up with a different plan. Typical switch & bait.

My bad, I thought you were going to do the BOGO as well. I did BOGO since I'm already paying for 1 line, might as well get another line and phone.
