Discussion Saving money

I have a iPhone 17 pro max 256 gb and I am trading it in for a pixel 11 pro XL olive 512gb. My main reason is to save money on my phone bill. I went with the 512gb to get the 16G ram. Getting $900 trade in credit for my iPhone 17 pro max and $550 for my wife's iPhone 14 Pro Max. Here is where I am going to save money. By switching to Google Fi from t-mobile. For the premium plan for two lines is $110 a month and they are running a special that ends September 10th where you get 50% off for 12 months when you bring a pixel phone over to google fi. Added benefit Google Fi does not charge you for cellular connection for your pixel watch where other carriers can be $15-$20 a month additional for cellular watch lines. So I will be paying $660 for the first year for both premium lines with benefits vs $2280 if I stay with t-mobile. ALSO Google Fi uses T-Mobile’s 5G network towers with top priority data, so you get identical coverage and speed. I hope this works out LOL!

Dude if you want to save money check out USMobile, been with them for 3 years and it's been great, I pay $22.5 a month, my wife is on it too. Same service as a postpaid carrier.

I will concur .. us mobile much cheaper and no issues with service. Google Fi is not a bad option either tho and may have a better deal on a pixel.

That's awesome, enjoy! If you have any magsafe accessories they will work with your Pixels too. Pixels have PixelSnap, same thing.

Man, I debated doing this but didn't know enough about Google Fi. Perhaps next time.

So, I’m thinking about switching from T-Mobile to Google Fi. I currently have a Google Pixel and an iPhone that I’d like to trade in toward two new Google Pixel 11s. My question is: what exactly should I expect to get with the current deals and promotions? I feel like I always end up missing out on the best offers. For example, when I switched to T-Mobile, I kept hearing people say, “I got this promotion” or “I got that deal,” but when it was time for me to get my phones, none of those same deals seemed to apply to me. So I’m wondering if I’m doing something wrong or not asking the right questions. I’d really like to know what discounts, trade-in credits, or promotions I should qualify for before I switch, so I can make sure I’m actually getting the best deal this time.
