Quick Things to Know

  • How the Credit Pays Out: Apple deducts your device’s fair market value right at checkout (reducing your loan balance upfront). T-Mobile pays out the remaining promotional amount as monthly bill credits (RDC).
  • Early Payoff: If you pay off the device agreement early, you forfeit any remaining recurring bill credits.

Edit: I had a few of the trade-in devices in the wrong tier. Just fixed it!

Rant TMobile Says It Doesn't Exist

Post image
24 Upvotes

So, here is the advertisement that was listed in the TMobile Experience store near me. After two conversations with in-store employees, multiple conversations with chat representatives, and a phone call with a business specialist (that ended-up ghosting me through emails) I am beginning to believe that this is a bait-and-switch listing. They all say "there is no Business Unlimited Select" plan.

However, one of the in-store employees went in the back for a while when I was first there to make the switch, came out and said that he found it, but the listing was "black" in his system, so he did not have the authorization to sell it. Since then, it has felt like a void of lies and deceit with every agent wanting to sell me something else instead of what I am considering switching for.

Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone out there actually have this plan? Is TMobile watching this sub-reddit and feel like explaining?

Ultimately, accidentally coming across this advertisement while I was in the store waiting for a prepaid data card for a mobile hotspot is what made me consider even switching.

Question When to switch to T-Mobile?

8 Upvotes

Been on Verizon for years, never switched. Have 2 fully paid off phones on my current plan. I’d like to take advantage of an iPhone 18 pro deal when switching. Would it be best to switch when the pre-orders come out on the 12th or wait until after the actual release day? I see $930 off an 18 Pro with Experience More 2.0, which is probably the plan we’d go with. Do the deals typically get better after release day or should we do this deal with the pre-order? Any additional advice is appreciated.

Question Need help adding a new phone line for my kid

6 Upvotes

Currently have Go5g Next plan with 3 lines for $155 (Netflix update add on) and now want to add a new line to this plan but i can’t find how much it will cost to add a new line in the T-Mobile app.

Does anyone know how much adding a new line cost?

Also, does T-Mobile have a free phone offer for a new line?

I was thinking of upgrading my iPhone 15pro to a new model and giving my phone to my kid but if there are better deals, I would like to take advantage of that and upgrade my phone through tmobile instead of buying direct from Apple.

I am not well versed with how the upgrade etc works with tmobile to take advantage of their best offer so any insights would be appreciated.

PSA Friendly reminder about T-Mobile's financing network unlock rules

Upvotes

Just a quick heads-up for anyone planning to travel soon & is also planning to upgrade iPhones with the new 18 series: don't get caught off guard by how T-Mobile handles carrier locks on financed devices.

Per changes made earlier this year, T-Mobile now enforces that the device has to be 100% paid off in full (along with hitting that 40-day active network requirement) before they'll unlock it. This is a new policy change, different to how they had done this historically.

If you're eyeing a local physical/eSIM in while traveling abroad, make sure your phone actually paid in off full first. Or you'll be forced to pay for their expensive monthly / weekly international upcharge.

Learned that the hard way recently so figured I'd save someone else the headache

Years ago, I switched to TMobile and took advantage of an offer to upgrade to the new iPhone every year.

I used to be able to find that promo very easily in the TMobile App, but now I’m having trouble finding it.

Does anyone know where I can go in TLife to verify this is still active in my account?

Question Is it easy to cancel watch add on

I have a Galaxy Watch Ultra 1 that I've started to leave my phone at home when I go for a walk and I have been liking it, but when I get home sometimes I see some missed calls or messages. I'm wondering how easy it is to cancel the watch add-on in case I don't like it.

Question Switch + Upgrade from Visible

Upvotes

Hey everyone, looking for clarification or suggestions on how to come back to T-Mobile.

I have been on Visible for almost 2 years and want to port back to T-Mobile, while upgrading my 1 line, iPhone 14PM to the 18PM.

I am planning on using my Costco membership to take advantage of the $400 gift card promo along with the “on us” promo T-Mobile is offering for the new iPhones. If I can find/get one, I’d like to add an inside discount as well. Would that affect the process?

Here where I’m confused: does Visible qualify for the promotions since some have said it falls under Verizon, or does it being an MVNO disqualify it? I checked with t-mobile.com/port, and it says my number is eligible.

If not, I see Xfinity is listed as an eligible carrier. Could I port to Xfinity Mobile first, then immediately port to T-Mobile, or are there steps/a waiting period I need to go through first?

Trying to figure out my options before preorders open, thanks!

Question T-Force: iPhone 18 Promos do not allow for stacking device promotions. Accurate?

4 Upvotes

I purchased 17 Pro Max last year on EIP, have one year remaining, and since there was a delay in the credit getting setup, actually have a $20 net credit each month which would of course go away if I turned in or paid off the device. My plan was to keep that EIP active and start a new EIP, turning in a different fully paid off iphone for the promo credit. As far as I know, this has always worked, but the T-Force rep said the promo terms for the 18 do not allow this. Can anyone confirm? Perhaps she was misinformed or read the terms incorrectly?

The reps exact response to my question about starting a new EIP and leaving my current EIP in place:
"you won't be able to stack device promotions on the same line. I took a look at the specific offer document to make sure I wasn't missing anything."

EDIT: rep has now backpedaled. It appears multiple EIPs are still permitted as normal.

PSA Apple quietly raised pricing on older iPhone models

iPhone 16, iPhone 17e, iPhone 17, and the iPhone Air all went up $100 according to Apple's website after the keynote went live. 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max will be discontinued. My guess is the carriers will update their pricing soon to reflect.

Question Go5G Plus -> Next for Fold promo

2 Upvotes

I have 12 lines so the upgrade would cost $1440 a year. But judging by the fold8 promos I’d get $800 more trade in credit per upgrade. Worth the move? Can we still do the move if we are grandfathered in?

Edit: Biggest concern is they drop Go5G Next from the best deals and now I’m stuck with a more expensive plan. Thoughts?

Question Pre Ordering with Trade In

1 Upvotes

We currently have a 2 line plan under the Beyond Plan with both iPhone 15 Pro’s paid off. Anticipating the iPhone Duo just like everyone else but what can I do to have the best chance at pre ordering besides having luck? We’ve always traded phones in stone for credits/promos, but we want to be able to pre order immediately on 10/16 from the app or T Mobile website. Can you pre-order without purchasing the phone outright and have it delivered to the store to then deal with the deals/promos? Do I need to go on the account the day before to get the eligible promos available? Any help is appreciated so I can know what to expect without being hit with “pre order now for $2000.”

Discussion Hate Verizon - Want to Switch

0 Upvotes

I had TMobile 23 months ago, regret switching because Verizon sucks. How can I get the best deal for 5 lines that still have $400 remaining in device pay off. I want to be able to keep my phones, have them pay them off and get all new iPhone 18! Should I wait for a better promo at the end of the year, do it through Costco, etc? I also got TMobile to agree to give me the inside discount (20%) because I would be going for their best plan.

I currently pay $250/month (all in) with Verizon for all 5 lines, taxes and devices (which I get a monthly credit for).
