Im not switching my plan. Still on the magneta plus plan for $165 for 4 lines.
Quote from dhishi :
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.
Um, wrong thread? This deal is about keeping your grandfather plan.

The Simple Choice plan is a retired plan and is no longer available for new activations or changes.

As per Tmobile rep

My simple choice account is eligible, I tried until order page but don't want to add new line. So he is wrong.

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.
Does anyone know how long you need to keep all your lines when you do this promo? I realized that these stack, so I might as well get 2 lines (although it not free since you pay about $3.50 or more in taxes). I can later hopefully transfer two of my existing lines to these 2 BOGO lines. So that will save me the monthly cost of one line. Didnt think about this until now.

This deal is not working for SC family with 6GB plan. When I tried to upgrade and/or add a new line the trade-in is $265 for a Pro Max 13 - 256GB.

Incorrect - if you try from within your account for SC 6G for 2 lines, there is no option to get the deal.

BOGO requires no cancellations or port outs of existing lines for 1 year. So if you have 6 lines then get 2 more lines through BOGO, you will have to keep all 8 lines active for 1 year. Afterwards, your idea of porting out old lines and porting them back into the BOGO lines works fine, assuming your old lines are both paid lines and no promotions / EIPs are on the old lines.

Buying at Apple makes a lot of sense if you need it unlocked which I do. Otherwise Tmobile will wait until 2 years of paying it off before you can unlock it,
How to make this deal work at Apple? Can you explain the steps? thx

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".
Same thing happened to me. I went through costco though and costco made it right.

Sucks having to keep explaining to Tmobile Rep and them being told I should be getting my credits soon. Then I don't get my credit and have to keep calling back, over and over.

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.

Such a hassle
