In store is now providing 4 phones(FE ,iphone 13) for $95 when switch lines.

That promo was removed today.
You didn't miss anything though, most of the stores have low stock of the FE or they don't want to sell 4 of them in one deal.

.... Just picked one up today.

$55x3m 5G unlimited plan
$60 tax on phone (CA)
$25 activation (waived)
Total cost: $225 ($250 w/activation)

....
good info.
i was considering this for last 4-6 weeks
wanted to get real OTD price in CA

in the end, about 2 weeks ago,
i went with the Metro deal for ~$175 OTD, but with 1 year wait for unLock.
not so much because it was cheaper,
but didnt want to deal with the uncertainty at TW, + id check


will use the moto edge 2023 [that i got for ~$120 i think] until then

The free deal is with port-in, but clerk today mentioned you can just pay an extra $15 if you don't have a number. I ordered 2nd with Google Voice number for my wife and $3 to get port-out code and pin, so not sure if that's going to work yet.

If you don't need phone, they only have unlimited plans and you can get 4g for $20/m, 5g $25/m, 5g+ $30/m. Price is locked for 5 years. 5G+ plan is not deprioritized on Verizon network, but the other plans may be throttled if lots of Verizon main customers on the local tower.

If bringing your own device (BYOD), $30/m for unlimited prioritized 5g+ with Disney+ (as long as you're on plan) on Verizon network is hard to beat.

I dont know if i understand and follow the "options". I need 2 phones so whats my best option here, 1 I could port but can I pay $15 and if so whats the final for the phones?

My experience is that they will charge you an extra $99 if you don't have a valid port-in number, not an extra $15 .

answer depends on when u need the phones.

if immediatly, then 2 x total wirreless . will be around ~250 each.
reports are the TW s25fe is unlocked out of the box

if u can wait 1 year then metro deal is at ~175

i got the metro deal as i can wait 1 year.
1 year is quite a long time tho.

AFAIK, both TW & Metro will need a port in number.

btw..i have had the s 25fe for about 2 weeks.
i have "played with it" only for a short time.
but is a v nice phone.

doesnt tm have deals u can take advantage of?

here below is metro deal for those that can wait 1 year for unlock + save ~70

click me for details metro deal

This phone is free in store. You can see it mentioned on the in-store deals section of their website. Just picked one up today.

$55x3m 5G unlimited plan
$60 tax on phone (CA)
$25 activation (waived)
Total cost: $225 ($250 w/activation)

First person waived the activation fee when I asked and paid the deposit, but person that helped me after with activation was a bit hesitant saying typically 250 is the lowest, but ended up giving it to me at 225.
These phones are popular. I ordered 2 phones and had to wait 2 weeks for them to arrive, then was told they accidentally sold one of them when I went to pick up today. They are telling me they'll get more in 3 days, but that's what they said the first time.

The $55 plan comes with 6m Disney+. I'm guessing the subscription cancels if you cancel plan in 3m though.

As mentioned, model is SM-731U1 which is unlocked version (can't be locked) unlike carrier-locked versions sold on Metro deals and other carriers.

They had iphone 16e for free too with 3m, but noticed they changed that now to require 24m contract.

Was able to go to a store near me and asked if I want the 25FE but dont have a number to trade and if i can pay him like $20.....He agreed and so was able to get the deal for about $200 (+$20) out the door.


I did pop in the Tmobile sim and can setup the phone so nothing else I need to do?


Do I need to cancel the plan or wait until the 3 months time?
Cancel in 3 days to get the activation waived/refunded? Call CS?


I might go back to get 2 more lines/devices, 1 iPhone 15 which is $300 and 1 more 25FE the same way as above. Hopefully I can cancel and keep the devices without much fuss?

220. OTD? not bad all
serves your purpose.
s25fe that is unlocked and can be used right way.

i would make a call or 2, send a text or 2'
on the TW plan.
in fact u can probably have dual siim . use both services

i wouldn't cancel or anything like for AF returned.
may cause more headache that is worth

use for 3 months.
make sure properly cancel, as i am sure u had to use a credit card for purchase

on metro i usually use a virtal card so i can just let the account die

to be clear;
i have NOT done this so i do not know the exact details.

do you due diligence to make sure you are in compliance with all the requirements

also. id be curious to know if the ip15 is also unlocked from day 1.
the s25fe are unlocked from day 1., but i am not so sure about the iphones.

Right, I think the $220 out the door price is good enough without having to move a line etc.....for an unlocked phone which at best can be purchased for $500ish.


I did make a call to the sim number lol but other than that I have no idea if there are other requirements on my end. I don't even know if the plan cancels in 3 months automatically or what lol.....if anyone else knows I'd appreciate it else i'll look into it further (first time ever doing a deal like this).


I believe I read that the iPhones are also unlocked but at this point its too late, if not my kid will have to maintain that carrier for the forceable future.

You can cancel auto-renew so you won't be charged for more than three months. There are absolutely no refunds for the 3 months you paid for in advance.

From what was posted and what I purchased to confirm that in this deal is that the S25FE is unlocked. Besides this is a prepaid deal so all you need to pay is the 3 months and when you walkout the phone is yours.....I dont see why you cannot trade this in with another Carrier.


What are you trading it in for?


I Guess S26 Ultra? https://tradein.att.com/offer-details
$1,300 Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra:
  • Must meet AT&T Trade-in Program requirements and be a Samsung S24+ or newer in any condition, or have a trade-in value of $230 after device condition assessment.
  • Eligible devices:
    • Apple: iPhone 14 Pro Max, 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max, 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max, 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, iPhone Air
    • Samsung: S24+, S24 Ultra, S25, S25+, S25 Ultra, S25 Edge, S25 FE, Z Fold5, Z Flip6, Z Fold6, Z Flip7, Z Fold7
    • Google: Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro Fold, 9 Pro XL, 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL
    • Other: Moto Razr Ultra 2025
I am sure the $1,300 is spread over the 3 years as credit and not an upfront credit so if you cancel you dont get the full credits? Also, assuming the S26 is locked?
