Anyone know if magenta qualifies for BOGO and trade in. I'm currently on magenta and was thinking of adding a line to get an $830 credit towards a new phone( 16 pro max), but if I can get the bogo and trade in offer, that would be awesome.

Thanks in advance for the help!

If your plan is eligible, you can do BOGO and get two phones with two tradein devices

So you still pay one phone price, but eventually you got $2000 credit. Do they honor your grandfathered plan? And BTW, how much gift they offer you?

Actually I didn't get the reason why stack the two promotions together. So if you just use add new line + trade in. You basically pay nothing. For BOGO plus the add two new lines+trade in. You just prepaid one phone price toward your future bill. Am I right ?

On Simple Choice Family with 2 current lines (line 1 and 2). My plan is to go to Costco, trade in a iPhone 12 for a 16 Pro, and open 2 lines with BOGO for $10, no data (will be lines 3 and 4)

I want to use the new iPhone on line 1, and port a flip phone my LO has onto line 4 with no phone on line 3.

Then, after 12 months, I will add data to line 3 (will I then be able to add data to line 4 for free too?), port out line 2 and port it back in to line 3 (resulting in 2 paid lines and a free line all with data)

Does this sound like it will work?

I am having an issue right now with a similar trade in of Pixel 7 Pro for Pixel 9 Pro XL. They sent me a text saying the device I sent them is not same as what I submitted, citing a different IMEI. Thing is, the Pixels have 2 IMEIs. They never check the 2nd IMEI it seems. The rep I spoke to said it's all 'fine' but I think that's b.s. because my billing still shows a reduced trade in value from $800 to $160.

I have TMobile one plan with 7 lines and Max out at 8. Not letting add 9th line to avail bogo promo.

I'm in the same boat as you, One plan max @ 8 but I remember that we can ask t-mobile to increase it to 12 without plan change. This is what I'm doing now to see if it's possible so I can add 2 lines.
update-Tforce just told me I'm eligible for the current promo (iphone & bogo) & they will change my plan to 9‐line plan without losing any promo.
"Hi xxxx My name is Jewels and I'll be your T-Force specialist today. Thanks for taking the time to reach out through social media and welcome to T-Force support! I'm excited to hear you are interested in upgrading your phone and adding some lines. You have some great service discounts, so I understand not wanting to lose any. I'm here to help! 😊

I took a look over your account and if we switch you to our T-Mobile One 9-line plan, you will not lose any of your current discounts. Additionally, you can take advantage of the $1000 off iPhone 16 with a new line and trade-in, as well as the BOGO line offer. Would you like to make the switch?

I have simple choice North america 6 GB plan with 2 paid lines and 2 free lines.

I want to add another line with BOGO so I will be having total 6 lines. I am not planning to use newly added lines for anything.

After 24 months, If I want to remove newly added lines, can I still keep my old free lines?

I never understood all of these new plans vs the old school contracts. For example Go5G plus basically gives you a new phone every two years for free unless you get anything over $830. Back in the day you got an upgrade every two years but the phones were WAY cheaper. In the end it all works out to be very similar. Looks like we came full circle.

Why Verizon? AT&T plans seem cheaper.

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".

It was smooth for me thrice in the past. Not sure if you followed the steps or sent them the correct phone back etc.

So you have a collections account with T-Mobile? Unfortunately they don't have an IOU plan so that 5 year old bill you apparently owe them is just floating around waiting for a convenient time for you to pay it.. throughout the time of you receiving bill credits, this never got resolved? It doesn't make sense, how can you get the credits in the first place without having trading something in?? What's amazing is you let it drag on for 5 years without getting any kind of resolution. T-Mobile can't be the only one to blame in this scenario… shoot if you let it drift on for another 2 years it might just vanish from credit.. might as well at this point though. You've let it hang for 5 what's a measly 2 more??

If my mom is on a different T-Mo account, and I port her number into my account, will that work? Or she will have to port to somewhere else then move to T-Mobile from 3rd party?

I converted one eligible line to DIGITS and rep added lines 7 & 8 with BOGO and $1000 off on 16 pros. Ordered a 16 pro and 16 pro max.
