Well, I went for it with Verizon after digging further so I have no argument against what you're considering with T-Mobile since quite similar.
Got a tip for us?

I switched from VZ to TM and got the upgrade “deal” for the 16PM. Since I will stay with TM for 24 months it will work out fine. It was cheaper than getting it directly from Apple. However, I plan to purchase the Apple Care + on a monthly basis directly from Apple rather than TM’s insurance.
Well, my wife preordered the pro max for me instead of the pro. I’m just going to roll with it. I’m going to have to get use to the screen size. 512gb version in white. This will be my phone for the next 4-5 years. I’M ALL IN!!!!!
That's funny. Will this be your first Max? I've never had one but they do seem huge.
I ran the numbers on some of these plans and I found myself paying for the phone 2-3x, no thanks. I’ll stick with prepaid.
Yeah if the top or close to top plan doesn't make sense for you without the deal, it probably won't make sense with it either.
This somehow got even funnier. You're going to feel like you're using an iPad!
Yep, but I’m all for it. It’s a birthday present for me and this will be the most advanced smart phone I’ve ever owned. ✌🏾
I am moving to ATT form Verizon. Monthly cost is less. And, when trading in Iphone 12 (or many others), they will rebate the cost of the phone over 36 months. And at Sams, they throw in a $300 gift card.
In the end, I get a lower cost plan ($37 for each of 4 lines), and a new Iphone 16 pro and gift card. Only think I pay is the sales tax on the new phone of around $100.
How can you be paying 2-3X
I’m on Go5G Next, I’m only eligible for $800 dollars towards a 16 Pro Max. That was not the case last year, I got the full $1000. I had a two year arrangement, but paid my phone off in 1 year. I’m considering switching to Verizon for the full $1000 off. Magenta was only $75 for unlimited back in the day, now Go5G Next is $144 not including the phone.
ATP I’m confused why they’d take the $1000 promotion away this year. The only difference between the Go5G next and Plus was supposed to be annual upgrades over 2 year upgrades.
