Alright, so what's the best deal these days for switching to t-mobile? I'm out of contract with ATT, and I just got my unlock verification for my iphone. I'm paying $90/month now for the grandfathered unlimited data plan. They raised it $10 over the last two years. That price is with a 20% FAN discount, too.

From what I understand t-mobile does 15% discount for veterans.

I don't necessarily need unlimited data. Definitely need unlimited text. I looked over my previous usage and I seem to hit about 3-5gb/month. That's with a lot of spotify streaming though, something I can easily cut back on. It would be nice to have the option to tether.

Thanks for the replies. I'll check out the t-mobile one plan, does that include tethering?

What incentive for they have to give a chump like me the 20% off? A sale? Just seems a bit forward/rude if I've never met the person. "Yo brother how about that 20% off and free warranty"


I've been with ATT for like 10 years so I'm a bit clueless on all this. I can just walk into a t-mobile, transfer my number, get a sim card, and be on my way right? Then I can cancel ATT after the fact?

Also does anyone know if I have to restore my phone to officially unlock it or will a new SIM and restart do it?


Thanks!!!

Yes it includes tethering. The 20% is an offer (T-Mobile Hookup) they have until the end of March I believe and it's for starting a new device and porting your phone number. Each sales associate gets a code they can use 5 times so yeah it really comes down to asking someone for the code when you're talking to them about switching over.

Also with AT&T if you're already outside the contract the line will automatically get cancelled once you port the number out. The phone being unlocked depends on where you got it. If it's from ATT you'll need to unlock it first BEFORE porting / cancelling. If it's retail or from Apple it should already be unlocked.

Thanks, gonna check out the local one today.

I got the ATT unlock email verification, everything I'm reading online says you don't have to backup/erase/restore the phone anymore to trigger the unlock/activation. Guess I'll find out.


See if I can schmooze a code. Hope they're all not gone by now. If any goons work there and can hook up a code then holla. I'll get you an AV or something nice and some kisses. Was curious if all else fails and checked ebay and I guess people are selling them for $30 lol. Guess it's worth it in the long run

Alright, just switched from ATT. Thanks for the input/help from this thread. Kindly asked if anyone had a hookup code. The guy was bummed I wasn't porting over multiple lines or anything, nice guy though.

If anyone was wondering, if you get your iphone carrier unlocked, you don't have to restore or anything. Simply putting in the new sim was all that was needed, didn't even have to restart. Then just sign back into your icloud.

If you didn't get a code keep an eye on reddit, you can apply the code after you signed up as long as its in the promo period.

Oh no he still helped me out and gave me a code. I applied it etc but it's not reflecting on my account or anything, but I'm sure I have to wait a bit.

But still this is like almost $30/less a month. Glad I asked in here during March. I should just kiss y'all and buy you dick AVs.

My wife and I are thinking of jumping ship off sprint. Customer service has just been horrible this year and with them being rid of upgrades after 2 years, there's no point in keeping our sero accounts. She needs to have an apple phone for work, and I'm locked into Android. Is the $100 all in plan the best deal I use an insane amount of data, so unlimited is kinda a must. What's this 20% off thing people are talking about?

Ended in March. You can ask if and when you port lines if there's any promos they can apply

I switched from ATT, glad I did

So I have two lines on the tmobile one or w/e plan with unlimited everything. I got that lifetime 20% discount they were giving out a while back. Do I lose that if I switch to the tmobile military(veteran) one plan? I guess in the end I’d save more money on the military one anyway?

My iPhone X service has dropped considerably over the last few weeks and my mic seems to only work when it wants to. Speaker phone or Bluetooth is fine.

I’m on iOS beta for 12 but my gfs phone isn’t on beta but has the same service bar droppage. Her mic seems fine

Any ideas? Voice memos seems to work fine. I’m guessing it’s just beta poo poo, but service bars have definitely dropped all around
