Moving 2 iWatch plans from AT&T (kids) and two prepaid AT&T (we have iPhone XRs) - just need the basic $25 per line plan and 4 new phones - should I do it now and wait? We don't need the 16s, ok with 14/15s.
Question
Looking to do this at Costco to lower fees, is now a good time or should we wait?
The associate said it was a 50/50 chance that we would get credited for the prepaid lines moving over, is this true?
Thanks!!

Quote from Jackfruit669 :
I just did today at costco. 2 lines (BOGO) with a $10 line plus taxes on both the lines and 2 devices on both the lines with $1000 tradein value each. Traded two 13pros for two 16pro. Essentially, i'll be paying $10x24 months for two lines plus taxes on lines and taxes on the 2 new devices($75 costco rebate offsets the device taxes though). Hope this helps.

Is this BOGO means you pay one device fee? And will you still able to do the trade in? Or did you just do trade in? Are you combining BOGO and trade in?

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.
How do you make outbound calls through your cell phone using the GV number (without having to always use the GV app?)

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".

Had a similar issue and reported them to the BBB. Took about a week or two to fix an issue I had spent months calling them about.

Is this if you join Go5g Plus or Next? I'm on a Magenta 55+ plan for $35 each line, trading in direct with Apple would be cheaper in the long term vs doing this with T-Mobile due to the higher plan cost

Just traded 4 phones at Costco kiosk few days ago. You have to be in the Go5g plus or go5g next plan to get the trade in deals. I switched my Magenta Max plan to Go5g plus to get the deal. Switching from Magenta Max to go5gplus only cost me 10 $ extra per month- so definitely worth it for me.

What would porting out AFTER the transaction net you?

Line 1 = your current tmobile phone number. Xxx-xxx-1234

Line 2 = new free iPhone line with new random number. Xxx-xxx-7890

After you've gotten the new iphone, you can port your current line (1234) to Google voice.

Wait a few days.

Then port your Google voice line (1234) back to tmobile, hut port over the existing line of 7890, replacing the new number with your old number.

I did this back in September. (my 7890 number was a free line I had for like 3 years but never used, meanwhile I was paying $30 for my main line, ported out. Ported back. Kept the credit. Saved $30 a month.)

As long as you aren't canceling a line, customer service will do whatever you ask. Cancelations go against their bonuses and metrics which is why they try so hard to get you to stay. They love these loop holes because you did the hard work for them lmao.

Wouldn't potting out a line to GV automatically cancel that line?

Adding a new line makes this a no deal for me. Switching to Verizon.

Why is this a deal? You're still paying for the phone AND a new line? The Visible free iPhone 13 deal was far better because that was a free phone with new service.

If you gotta keep the plan for the full 24 months then this is not a deal…at all. Paying inflated monthly prices to get a cheap phone never makes sense.

My baseline for a good monthly unlimited plan is $25. If you're paying $50-60 a month then you're basically breaking even.

It could make sense if you're on a family plan paying for multiple lines though and you get a much better per-line rate.

Just to make sure I'm not missing anything in the fine print, this is for the 16 Pro only, not the 16 Pro Max, is that correct?
