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

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.

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.

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.
Costco app just push alerted me to the deal. Loads TMO Costco page in Costco app. Shows ad for deal. Click "pre-order now" on ad. External link warning. External link is MIA. LOL

"Get full terms" actually loads in-app and shows me COMPLETELY DIFFERENT terms, some worse, some actually BETTER. I don't want to post until they fix their issue and I can confirm.

This is not a deal. 36 months contract on an old phone is not a deal. Just do the math. Minimum monthly cost is $50 + fee & tax = about $70/month. for total 36 months you are paying about $2520, but you only get $930 back which you still have to pay about $1600 out of pocket for 3 years.

Do you mean the monthly cost including service and the phone price? Otherwise you're saying they're charging more for the iPhone than Apple does.

The poster probably means Apple activation locking. the phone doesn't won't work on another carrier with another user until you remove it from your Apple account and turn off Find My

May be you had device installment pending and that's why you were locked in and can't move on. I didn't have any device installment plan and I have 9 lines so may be that's why they didn't change my plan.
I have 10 lines too and on One plan with promo still. got 5 dollars increase few months back... and kickback gone now.... I have few pixel 10 installments..

I've 18+ years old Simple choice family plan purchased in 2006 and never upgraded. I'm paying $150 for 8 lines (3 free lines) + all 8 lines have internation calling in most country from USA and free internet is working world wide.

I'd upgraded 6 lines and it never went up though ever other year taxes are going up which is taking my monthly invoice higher...

So did you get new iphone 17 or 18? What does your simple choice plan get for this deal?
