You can go thru Costco or Sams club if youre a member. Saves you the $35 fee and you can earn up to a $100 gift card for upgrading.

Seems like Simple Choice does qualify and gets you up to $500 trade in value.
Unfortunately t mobile charges $30 extra on phones (apple sells ip16 for 800 and t mobile for 830.
T mobile also asked for $35 connection charge.
This extra $65 surcharge makes it less appealing ☹️

Infact Tmobile kiosk in Costco/Sams is not their employees.
Costco and Sam's Club T-mobile Kiosks are operated by T-mobile corporate employees. They are know as SIS (Store in Store).

Yes I meant they are not Costco/Sam's employees. I know they are respective service providers ATT or TMobile but not sure they are corporate employees or a different arrangement

Net-net you can exchange device on trade-in then and there when you get the new phone just like in any TMobile or ATT corporate stores.

Wish we could get something for simple choice people like myself

I'm on simple choice and think this is a pretty decent deal especially when you normally don't get much value for trade in. I have a 6s that still runs fine other than being a 6s. It's worth $250 trade in during this promo while worth $0 any other time. Going to pull the trigger but figure out where to do so later. The ultimate savings for not going with the higher tier is great but just have to accept that you'll never get any great offers for phone upgrades. I'd say this is pretty good. I know that there have been better offers in the past but those probably won't roll around again.

I have Magenta 55+. Not getting the $630 bill credits, only $500. Did anyone else with a 55+ plan get the $630?

Also, when I tried to check out online, I didn't see the $500 applied for bill credits. Only $210 for my iPhone 13 Pro.

I'll probably ask T-Force soon.
55+ here
only seeing $500 as well
lmk how you get 630

Correct. The phone stays locked until its paid off 2 years later. - Not sure if Apple has the same promo, if they do, then you can buy there and have an unlocked version with Tmo financing.
Yea it's a PITA. I want to use foreign eSim when I travel but I asked T-force rep and they said no, they basically expect us to just buy the data packages when traveling (assuming the 5GB isn't enough for you).

I think no-one mentioned cost of the monthly plan

Essential is $60 and you need to stick with them for 12 month. Considering you can get decent plan for $30, you give tmobile extra ($60 - $30)*24 = $720. Cost of the phone is $800

You pretty much finance the phone with tmobile.

This deal is for upgraders, people who already have grandfather T-mobile plans. If you are new to T-mobile, there are better deals, like 4 lines for $100 with 4 free iPhone 16.

I went through the process, and as others mentioned discount was not applied in checkout or agreements. I called customer service and they assured me I would still get the promo. Also I asked them to waive off $35 charge and after some back and forth they agreed.

Even Magenta and Go5g plan only get $500. 55+ is a lower tier plan than those.

Don't forget that there are multiple 55+ plans. I'm on the cheaper non-Magenta one called ONE and T-mobile site was offering me $500 only.

if you really want this deal, go with Costco or Sams. they waive the $35 connection feealso, you qualify for a costco/sams card when you upgrade through them. it's about $75I'm thinking of doing this deal. I have a simple choice plan and an old iPhone 12. but I'm still debating.
Wow this makes it a good deal. May I ask where I can find info about $75 cashback + $35 fee waiver?
