Too much. T Mobile raised rates after all those years advertising that they Won't raise rates. They increased arbitrary fees, such as $35 for esim activation. They even billed me $5 for a "mid cycle change" for removing a Free/inuded feature - port out protection - when I wanted to break up with them.

I was a T Mobile customer for 20+ years, and modern day T Mobile sucks - they literally suck money out of customers at every opportunity.

So I left for Visible Unlimited at 1/4 of the cost and haven't looked back.

800 off when trading in an old S10 sounds like a slick deal.

32 total for 10 lines? That's impressive, even better than the grandfathered SC plans. How?
I believe some people called it the 9-12 lines exclusive club (extreme discounts). Kickbacks helped a lot too $40 babywoot.

Will this be last good deal for Magenta max or the beginning?
It depends. This is a continuation of their deal from last week and letting Magenta Max users upgrade without adding a new line is pretty rare.

Offering $415 credit for a dusty old iPhone SE2 is pretty great.

I'm on the One plan but will never switch since I have 10 lines and only pay $32 after kickbacks and discounts. There is no difference in the data speed between the plans. I don't mind only getting $500 off for trade-in when needing to upgrade the phone.
Ditto. Getting 50-60% off on a latest gen phone, plus a LOW cost monthly plan, that can't be beat!

I was a member for the last 23 years and quit them last night when they told me that the only way for me to validate my ID since my phone was broken and couldn't get a PIN was to drive 122 miles to the nearest T-Mobile store ... I told them they could just use my Email address on file to send the PIN and they said that the NEW policy was that they had to send the PIN to a phone on the account -- but since my phone was locked up and there was NO other phones on the account -- I had to physically go in .... YEP -- went round and round with them for almost an hour .. there final solution was for me to just drop the line and then call and get a new number -- BECAUSE with NEW numbers they CAN send a PIN to a email ... thats when I said -- just cancel the entire thing ... I went with MINT this monring ...

Samsung S24 Ultra without any trade and unlocked with CB and Samsung discounts got it for $575 including tax.

I agree if you are looking only to upgrade a older device, simple.and easy way but that doesn't mean it is too good for everyone.
I got that same deal, typing on it now.

What people don't understand is they're paying for the phone with the inflated Magenta Max pricing every month. A XX/month credit is moot when you pay XX/month more for the Max plan.

Did this upgrade tonight, but they didn't waive the activation fee. They said we could buy (overpriced) accessories and they would credit that out. Only $75 GC, maybe because I'm on a Magenta Max plan?

Not a great of a deal as I was expecting, but I guess still worth it as my S22 Ulta's battery is just too weak these days.

You got lied to unfortunately. Maybe there's a way to report them, not sure. I went this morning to my local Sam's and had absolutely no issue. 3 lines, 3 gift card"s, 3 waived activation fee's. Just return the accessories when they arrive to your local store.

This was at Costco and the phones and accessories getting shipped to home, but I'll probably try to return those accessories.

Do not bite the hand that feeds you. If you are getting $800 for S25 on MM 55+, then take that and run. Take lots of screenshots with timestamps. I would skip out on Costco just so I can get screenshots of the trade-in value as proof.

T-mobile has been punishing 55+ and first responder plans with reduced trade-in values, so if you are getting the same trade-in values as regular plans without the promotion explicitly saying so, count that as a blessed mistake.
So how often do these deals work with Max 55 vs. getting a reduced rate like the current Phone deal? I have two months to go before my S23 is paid off and would rather not have to pay it. I don't REALLY need to upgrade, phone still works fine.

1) This military, first responder / 55+ getting reduced promo value only began5 months ago [reddit.com]. There haven't been enough time and promotions to estimate the like hood in the future, but expect it to go that direction. T-mobile sales reps aren't happy about it [reddit.com].

2) T-mobile's billing system doesn't care how many EIPs you have on a line. If you upgrade online or through the app, it won't ask you to pay off the old EIP unless you are trying to use it as a trade-in. If you try to upgrade from a person, the person may ask you to pay off the EIP.

Yeah, I definitely would. Sales person probably makes no commission on upgrades and is just trying to make a buck. It's unfortunate.

Hate to break the news but people need to appreciate a company taking privacy and security seriously.

Yes you know you're the real deal, but that agents in the other side of the phone doesn't. It's unfair for you to blame others on your own mistake while trying to protect your account.

Who's they?

In store - almost never waive activation fee unless you go to Costco

On the other hand, the reps at Costco did try to low to me about accessories required to waive activation fee. I told me to show me the disclaimer or whatever document they have to prove that to me, then they upgraded mine without activation fee and I did not buy any accessories.

SO if I sign up for a NEW line they will email me the PIN code ... BUT if I have trouble with my phone they want me to drive 130 miles to the nearest store ....

THATS the issue ... you can't have it both ways and expect customers to not get pissed
