heffray posted:There's a $200 rebate card for accounts over 5 years old & trading in any iPhone that was used on the tmo network between Aug 2 - Oct 2, and a trade in offer at $500 for 11 Pro or XS or XS Max; $415 for 11, X, XR, 8, 8+; $300 for 7, 7+, SE 2020; $215 for 6s, 6, SE; $50 for anything 5s or older. Bigger promos are available with trading in plus activating a new line. What were you expecting? iPhone 11 seemed to have better offers at launch (unless misremembering we got half price + trade in value applied) with shorter duration on bill credits. Sadly I don't think I quite qualify for the 5 year deal. I was hoping for something similar to the S20 FE deal train, but probably too high of hopes

Looks like another free line starting tomorrow, this will put me up to 3 free lines added this year alone! https://www.tmonews.com/2020/11/t-mobile-may-launch-free-voice-line-deal-tomorrow/ This won't be available for the old "2 for $100 + 1 free" plan people, but I was able to switch in the past to plan FRLTULF2 from that

Has anyone tried switching to Magenta max recently? I'm going to try and hit up tforce, but I've heard that they are transferring the 20% discounts and free line offers over, so in theory would be a small monthly bump (as well as losing kickback). EDIT: According to tforce switching to Magenta max would cost me $16 more a month and would let me keep my 20% insider hookup and all my free lines. I'm currently on an old "One" plan with the free one plus add ons, insider hookup, free lines and kickback. Maneki Neko fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Sep 17, 2021 |

It's like $400 more to do that in my circumstances before I even sell my existing handset, drives me mad! Yeah I did the 20% off One+ plan a while ago with a bunch of free lines and then moved laterally to Magenta Max last year, only thing I lost was the kickback discount, my Magenta Max bill is $112 for 7 lines.

Astro7x posted:Same. I am on 2 lines for $100 with a $10 kickback per line if I use under 2GB. Magenta Max is $140. That's $480 more for the year. They'll give me $500 off a trade in for my iPhone 13 Pro. This is all just ploys to get people to switch from grandfathered plans to a higher cost plan because they're idiots. Best Buy has had the best third party deals recently for sure for T-Mobile, Costco seems to have not been quite as good lately. GentlemanofLeisure posted:I still have an iPhone 8, and I've been waiting for the 14 as my phone has started really showing it's age the past few months. According to the leaked deal offer if you’re on Magenta Max T-Mobile will give you $400, if not they’ll give you $200. Based on Swappa prices that may be pretty reasonable based on your device condition.

I remain impressed how bad TMobile is at at provisioning when you order a new device through them and the new iPhones with eSIM do not disappoint. Wasn't able to transfer the SIM from the old phone and the instructions they emailed didn't work but eventually stumbled my way through it and waiting the "up to 2 hours" it will take for activation.

EL BROMANCE posted:I ended up porting my number from MetroPCS to AT&T and all (eventually) went fine. Presumably I need to cancel my Metro payments, but now I can't log in to the web portal with my usual phone number/PIN. Is there something I have to do differently now, or did Metro do the smart thing and say 'hey this guy is not a customer anymore so we won't auto charge him going forward' which feels a bit like wishful thinking on my behalf. In my experience in the past porting out generally closes your account but in your case may need to actually call them up.

Wife and I are on one of the older One Plus plans and I swear my data service has been going from "meh" to "poo poo". Between that and a giant dead zone in the middle of town I'm getting very tempted to jump ship. I think this is general network problems vs anything targeting older plans. Supposedly they are doing "tower upgrades" but these upgrades seem to make service terrible for weeks/months on end. Maneki Neko fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Oct 26, 2022 |

Seiyal posted:How long do these specials last btw? Specifically the home internet and the extra lines promotions? Extra lines I haven't seen an explicit end date reported, but I'm not sure Tmobile even officially announced this one so generally good to move quickly if you can. Astro7x posted:I am on this T-Mobile One promo with two lines all in for $100 even w/ taxes included, with $10 kick back if a line uses below 2GB. I was on that plan and found a very nice TForce person who was able to switch me over to Magenta Max and kept my free lines and insider discount. I did lose my kickback discount as that's not compatible at all with Magenta plans, but it ended up being a wash with the additional free lines I've been able to add. Certainly worth a try if you want to stick with TMobile if you can have it be a lateral move. I don't trust regular support enough to try it with them though.

The device promos made up for the kickback loss.

This has not been my experience, you’re saying like you pay off a subsidized phone, still have months of bill credits left and then buy a new one on financing with bill credits? I’ve always continued to get both in that situation.

Fantastic Foreskin posted:My Pixel 4a has developed a dead band in the touchscreen. I see that T-Mobile is offering $250 for a trade-in for it, could this issue with the touchscreen effect this? It turns on / holds a charge / no visible damage, etc. It's honestly a bit of a gamble there, I've never had a device rejected and don't know how thoroughly they check devices but they will ask you the condition up front and bad touch screen doesn't technically fall into any of their existing categories. The full trade in terms and conditions site looks like it's down right now, but at a glance that seems like it would be fine.

I'm going to Canada for a few days next month - does T-Mobile include Canada in standard coverage or will I need to get a temporary add on? For most Tmobile plans yes, the data cap for high speed does depend on your Tmobile plan though (5/10/15GB). Assuming they kept the terms of the SWAC stuff intact I would imagine that should also still be fine?
