Did anyone receive this sort of message? Im currently on Magento 1.0 and they are moving me to experience signature with 6/ line hike automatically ??

T-Mobile: Starting 7/13/26, your current phone plan is being retired, and you will transition to a modern plan with enhanced features. Phone lines increase up to $6 per line per month.

Rest assured, you'll keep your current benefits, plus we're adding more benefits and improved service experiences. Moving forward, you also get our 5-Year Price Guarantee.
Something like 8 million people got the message. They're taking maybe hundreds (some people claim 1000) old legacy plans and migrating them into 60 newly created plans depending on your old plan.

If anyone is interested in getting the latest info including pricing, tmo.report has a post about the new plans and includes pricing that's in a linked spreadsheet. You can AI chat in the T-Life app on the main line account and ask for the SOC of the plan you're being migrated to. It'll give you the code that you can cross reference with the spreadsheet.

Some legacy plans that they cut off access to trade-in deals like this might be getting them back with the forced migration to a new plan. Time will tell on that though.

Quote from TeddyGoon :
I just stopped by the T-Mobile kiosk at Costco today to look into upgrading a few phones. I am currently on the Go5G Next plan.
The sales rep advised me not to trade in my phones right now. He said it's a bad time to upgrade and that I should wait until the new phones come out. He confidently claimed that the $1,100 trade-in promotions will still be available when the new models launch.
Does this sound accurate? Can anyone confirm if it's safe to wait, or is he guessing? I just want to make sure I don't miss out on the current deals by waiting too long. Thanks!

that costco rep is an idi0t....

It's rare for the Go5G Plus to get this $1.1K amount AND compound that the iphone 18 pro will most likely be $200-$300 more when it released based on Apple's recent price increases on all their product AND the iphone 13 pro falls off the list so it requires 14 pro at minimal when 18 pros comes out.


again, costco rep is an idiot....

Oh yeah no you're completely right on your post. The OP of this one posted it without understanding the full extent of the deal. Nothing against you, desterpot
May possibly end on July 8, not August 5.

Is this only for existing T-mobile customers?

edit: is there a point to trading something in a Costco for new customers? Looks like $1100 billing credits anyway.

Both new and existing customers.


T-Mobile charges $10 activation fee for new lines and $35 for upgrade on an existing line. Buying at Costco T-Mo kiosk waives it. Also, at Costco you get $250-450 per new line and $75-100 Costco Card per upgrade. You just place order at the kiosk. Phones will be shipped. You can trade in within 30 days at a local corporate store after receiving your new phone.

Looks like Costco gives $1100 billing credits for new line or port in without trade in. I'm guessing if you trade in you get the same credits and not more. I doubt it stacks.

I talked to online customer chat they said free lines will carry over. Current on one plan paying about $200 for 5 lines + 2 free lines. New experience more would be about $240. This sounds right ?

Same for me. One plan works still fine. And sometimes it gets a promo. Just bought a Pixel 10a as promo.
Didn't T-Mobile just announce last week they are forcing plan upgrades for older plans like One and T-Mobile? Got a text on my old One plan that I'm being moved to newer plan at +$6 per line, going to call in and see what's going on this week

This is not a good deal. Once you agree to this you are LOCKED IN not only with Tmo, but also with this phone. You are not allowed to pay it off early. Its basically, a two year contract.
