I got the $930 discount through 24 monthly credits with waived activation fees with trade-in of a broken iPhone 6.

  • Legacy/Older Plans: Go5G Next, Go5G Plus, and most older plans, except promo plans.

Contact us before cancelling entire account to continue remaining bill credits, or credits stop & balance on required finance agreement is due (e.g., $929.99 - iPhone 17 256GB). Bill credits end if you pay off device early. Tax on pre-credit price due at sale. Limited time; subject to change. Qualifying credit, service ($60+/mo. plan w/AutoPay; plus taxes/fees) & trade-in any device required. Trade-in terms and conditions apply.

OFFER ID R848

Link to T-mobile store: https://www.t-mobile.com/purchase/shop


For Costco members:
Login to Costco, then go through "Upgrade device" on this page to make the deal sweeter ($100 Costco shop card): https://www.costco.com/f/-/t-mobi...d-showcase
I don't see a place to add a trade-in device when I go through Costco. It replaces the $930 promo with $100 Costco shop card promo which is not worth it. Likely because promo terms say "May not be combinable with some offers, discounts, or promotions"

Some users reported success by adding the new phone with trade-in device to the cart first, then following the Costco link to check out. I didn't try that as I didn't want to risk losing the $930 off.

Will this work on my $0 per month account? It's been free for a couple years and wanting a new phone ideally.
I'm assuming it will work on any account that qualifies for this promo.
Go ahead and spill your beans on your free monthly account.

Not worth locking yourself in for 3 years. A lot can change in the industry in that amount of time.
That is an exaggeration. I have a 5 year old phone that is working fine. Though, I want to upgrade within the year. Battery and charger port are getting annoying now.

Sadly on $300 for me on Magenta Max for iPhone 14, I have been with T-Mobile for 5 years already, unlikely I am going anywhere soon, so 36 months doesn't bother me

Didn't know you could order online with Costco. I'd call the number on the website and see if they can do it for you.
Now possible through following the link on Costco's Tmobile page after login, but not eligible for this deal. Link still visible in original post (striked out text) if you're curious.

He's not talking so much about the phone, it's more about locking in the carrier (especially with T-Mobile forcing plan changes).

How were you guys able to grandfathered with old plan? My magenta plan got "upgraded" to newest plan and I am paying 15% more.
From what I have gathered through TMO leaks and reddit the magenta plans and one plans, ( I'm on a one plan that was migrated) Will all be upgraded due to them having unlimited data included in our plans, when your plan will be upgraded is solely up to T-Mobile. There's no rhyme or reason on when you'll see the change. The simple choice plans will be a hit or miss due to some wording or language and them not having unlimited data directly in their plans. Most simple choice plans have data add-ons.

Thanks OP! $600 off for Experience Signature plan. Better than going through Apple direct I guess.

36 months! No thanks
36 months at $60. a month (plus taxes) is well over $2,160. Only a fool would do this deal.
