But only the $1000 for Go5g plans? I'm on Magenta Max 55+, so it's $570 for me on 14 pro
Darn, lol it definitely would be PST lol… Have you tried it again, but maybe on the actual website?
Oh no, just go through the T-Mobile website. It should be a breeze, it atleast has been for me the last few years.
I have 7 lines that includes 3 free lines and 25% off for life haha. My bill is $118 think it’s $7 more because of Netflix and paramount plus
When I talk to them they are like never get rid of your plan!
Any way going to Costco tomorrow to see what the t-mobile stand is offering usually way better than a actual t-mobile store.
From Apple I can get $480 for my 13 pro which isn’t bad. Thinking of going the 15 route for $220. Then upgrading to the 16 next year. I have a ton of lines I need to make sure have newish phones.

When you buy from T-Mobile, your phone is locked until you completely pay it off. If you get it from Apple, then the phone is unlocked from day 1.
Gotcha gotcha! I’ve had T-Mobile for over 13 years, so it’s cool on my end to have it locked, I don’t have any plans on leaving.
What is the plus of having it unlocked?!
If you go to another country and want to use a different SIM card, you can do that with an unlocked phone. If the phone is locked, you can only use T-Mobile. Typically if you want to make calls and use a lot of data, it's cheaper to do that with a local SIM, and most other countries have lower data costs than the U.S. I'm still annoyed that Apple stopped shipping a SIM card slot in US models and still has it in all other countries, even for iPhone 15. Lots of countries make it difficult to get an eSIM compared to a regular SIM card.
Been experiencing this since yesterday. However, I moved T-Mobile yesterday.

Yep, went up 15 minutes early and had no problems getting a preorder in on Go5g Plus
T-Mobile site an absolute BREEZE. Done before Apple even let me access their preorders on the Apple app.
Did have to pay a $35 phone activation fee. Thought that was only when purchasing in the store. T-Mobile is officially a scam carrier yet again. How I miss Legere.

I’m still confused on how the $1000 credit worked.
I had to put down $369.99 plus taxes but the phone was $1199.00. Where does the $1000 credit worked.
What a relief! Several errors, tried website and app, about had a stroke but it finally went through! I need a long nap now. This will be the slowest week now haha
Preordered my iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB Blue at 7:43am on T-Mobile site. $0 down but they still charged a $35 device connection fee for some reason. So came out to $134 with taxes and fee.
The 1000 credit works as a monthly credit. The do this to prevent people from ditching after the discount. You’ll get somewhere around 200 to 400 as an initial credit depending on what phone you traded and the rest in monthly credit.
Keep in mind you won’t get any credits until they have your phone. Right now you’re only paying a down payment, tax and 35 scamtivation fee.
If you did it right, you should have something similar to my screenshot in one of your emails.

Aahhhhh gotcha, so technically im paying up front, and then when they actually receive my trade in device, I will get the $1000 toward my bill.
Just for fun I have an extra, unused line on TMobile with a broken XS Max attached to the line. Had that phone been in working condition, I would have gotten $830 for it. Not bad, considering how old that thing is.
