I'm on an old plan where my monthly bill runs $26 including taxes and fees. I need a new phone as my galaxy s9 needs updated. Are there any deals with a carrier for a nice phone? Hate to pay full price but don't want to change my plan.

Are people just doing this at Costco/Sam's? I'm trying to do it online but it won't let me add more than one line to the cart. Anyone successful in chatting with them via their app to do the BOGO line deal and trading in 2 older phones to get new Iphone's?

I'm not sure about tmob, but heard xfinity mobile pays $500 prepaid card to port in the number from competitors who are struck with device plan or service agreement. Not sure if it fits in for your case, but just letting you know.
Thanks for the reply. Probably best to take a chance with them and loose the rest of the money than pay another penny to AT&T for cheating people.

If apple was unlocked, I would do there, But the offer so far isnt available at apple. So costco would be choice #2 because of the $75 rebate.

My experience is that you have to send the tradein phone in usually

Is the BOGO lines promo stackable with the $1,000 bill credit new line + trade-in?
Would I be able to add a line ($20/month for 24 months) get a free line and trade in and purchase 2 iphone 16 pros and get 2 $1,000 credits? So essentially, I will pay ($20x24months paid line) + ($0x24months free line) = $480 and do 2 trade-ins to get 2 new phones with 2x$1,000 credit? Is it right?
Yes, that is part of the deal. Do it at Costco / Sam's Club for additional gift cards. After 1 year, you can also port out 2 paid lines and port back in over the BOGO to reduce your total plan cost. This was discussed in detail in this thread.

ok so my SOC qualifies.

i have 7 months left to pay for 2 phones on a business plan.

i guess i have to finish my 7 months to do any of these deals b/c if not, i will have to pay the 7 remaining months?
Not sure how EIPs work on business since I'm on personal plan. But on personal, you can have multiple EIPs per line, up to your total T-mobile financing limit. For example, I have 1 line with 3 device EIPs on it, and each EIP has a RDC to drop my monthly payment to nothing.

Here is T-mobile's official policy on EIPs / RDCs [t-mobile.com]. Note that it just says 1 RDC per EIP; nothing about # of EIPs per line.

With that said, whenever I talked to an employee, they always stated 1 EIP per line, and if I wanted another device, I would have to pay off the EIP first. So I just ordered online and the system stacked the EIPs fine on the same line. Not sure if employees are trained to say that, or if 1 was the old limit, but expect employees to tell you 1 EIP per line, but know the system allows for multiple. Ask on t-mobile subreddit if the same works for the business side.

Thanks! never done trade-in in costco, is it instore trade-in or by mail (tmobile sends you a shipping label)?

either of the options works as confirmed by costco-tmob representative. They would still send the shipping package for trade-in even if you prefer tradein at store. Either ways, there are 30days to complete the trade-in.

Did you give your trade in at Costco or did you have to send your 2 13pros to T-mobile separately?

I'll do it at store once I receive my devices which are scheduled to deliver today. 30days to complete the tradein either at tmob store or use the shipping label to ship the tradein device.

Pull your SOC code as mentioned by OP and see if your plan is eligible. When I spoke to customer care she shot me down too but when I insisted to verify, she had a word with her supervisor and confirmed my plan is eligible after which I visited costco to take advantage of $75rebate for new lines. Mine is a legacy SC plan with $10 per additional line.

If I do it in costco, do I have to provide them the IMEI number for the trade in phone or the phone should physically be there?
