Quote from elite-01 :
It's a GREAT deal if you actually use the service for a year. The phone is FREE!!! You pay tax and almost 50% off the plan of $65 or $60 after you receive a $25/month credit.
its a better deal in the other scenario- pay only for 1 month and get an unlocked (in 2 months) iphone 16e for roughly $400 inc tax

Quote from spacemanvt :
My Math seems to agree with others:
299 upfront
+ 65 first month
+ 60 second month
- 50 for 2 months credit. = $375 plus whatever taxes.

Sound right?

Doesnt ship until 3/4 btw at the earliest.
Guess I need to wait.
No- not correct:

$299+$65 for ONE month + tax. you dont need to pay month 2

EDITED PER CORRECTING REPLY:
I think this is the most concise/accurate but my tiny edits…

299 upfront (plus full value tax where required)
+ 65 first month (no autopay discount)
Note: (other commenter purchased already and did NOT get a first month 25 credit)
= 364 (plus full value tax where required)

I think this is most concise/correct so far, but a few edits…

My concern would be:
-is unlock automatic?
-is unlock before month 3 day 1 or after? if on/after m3d1, do we need to have an active month 3 plan to receive unlock? so…:

= $400 (plus full value tax where required)
+ 60 third month (after $5 autopay discount)
= $460 (plus full value tax where required)
This is INCORRECT

Simple:

Buy phone and 1 month service - $300+$60+tax= less than $400
Activate phone
Cancel autopay
wait 60 days and automatically unlocked

So it's like 400$ for iPhone 16e. In phone comparison it looks like iphone 12 body/128gb/8gb ram/usb c vs iphone 12 64gb/4gb ram. For me idk if it's worth the upgrade 400$ vs 120$

Can you not buy as a new customer and or new line and use it on existing line?
That is possible, but, it's quite the hassle since I would need to spend more to do porting (get a number on eBay or GV), plus money wasted on unused plan (since I'm already paying for my own plan). I know that the idea of these deals is to get people to switch over to TW. I just wish they give us more incentive to stay as long term customer.

Better off getting iPhone 13 or 14 unless you are looking for new processor and long term software support
