Is it really a deal if you are paying $100/month for experience beyond and $85/month for experience more service plan?
No good phone deals since pre covid. It is now always predicated on trading a previous generation in.

I got myself the flip on Go5G Plus for about $100 + tax. Not bad at all.
Flip 7 + buds pro 3 + $100 (Costco) +75 (Costco for accessories, buds pro 3), net made money with costco cards. This was the deal last year with Tmobile Go5G+. and I traded a broken phone bought on ebay, because they accepted trade in any condition.

hmm, my Oneplus 13 isn't on the trade in list
Lol that's why I wouldn't buy outside the big 3. Trade in value for weird phones is ziltch. as attractive a phone. the OnePlus is it's not worth anything in trade. where's the Nothing phone?

You will take my Simple Choice out of my cold, dead hands. $110 extra per month to 'upgrade' to a new plan. lol I still can't believe they didn't force me over recently.

All of these deals require me to add a new line, no thanks.

24 month finance credit for T-Mobile still. Considering all their other scummy moves over the past few years, I'm surprised they haven't shifted to 36 months like Verizon. I very much expect them too at some point though.

This is high order madness. Imagine you've called a plumber and he's just emerged from your master bath. "Alright, folks. We're all set here. I've resolved the clog and corrected the pressure as asked. I also went ahead and installed a few hidden cameras your can't remove or disable. They're pretty fancy and expensive, but I see here you're trading in your privacy, so I can chop the price almost in half with our trade-in special. How's a thousand dollars sound?" Are you reaching for your credit card at this point? Or perhaps your hands are busy because they're around the plumber's neck.

Locked down carrier handsets are for the insane and/or misinformed, myself included for a long time in the latter. They are a ripoff at any price, including free. First the ODM strips out a bunch of security features so they can add their spyware bloatware. Then off to the carrier where they remove even more security, add even more bloatware, and disable everything they can later charge you to re-enable. There is no daylight between the plumber and your carrier and their devices. There's no logic, either. Because yesterday you were strangling the plumber, today you're in line to pay him a large amount of money.

Want to know why the world is upside down and on fire right now? It's because of our willingness to roll over for anything, no matter how egregious, to trade anything, no matter how valuable, to keep the dopamine blasts coming. You like dopamine? Go to the doctor and get on one of the dozens of dopamine agonists. They're an order of magnitude less costly. Or don't. Tell yourself I'm the crazy one and carry on. Until one random Tuesday where you think your a/c has broken down. It hasn't. That's just warmth from the fire that has now reached your own doorstep.

Only for people who were already gonna pay for those plans without a free phone. To them, this is a good deal they should know about. For someone like me who's paying $35 a month for unlimited, nah
Very true. I'm paying $25 for unlimited on us mobile and have a 2nd line with Verizon for only $10.

If you are multiple people on a plan you can get reasonable prices but for one person its high, even 55+ plan is high and I dont think they have this offer

I have Visible Pro with a $10 month discount so $35 a month. Includes watch plan, global passes, tethering etc. Any Slickdealer should now how to get ref credits, so essentially been paying $15 a month. I will get my expensive phone other ways.
