Nice price.
so if I went with T-Mobile in the US, would it only cost me $18.00 / month for everything and no taxes ?
edit: I checked online and the best I could find for 4g, everything, without taxes is $43 / month.

The price is based on how many lines you add. More lines, less $ per line; less lines, higher $ per line.
It's just me.
I'm not sure what I would do with multiple lines
.I think I'll stick with my $15 / month + taxes.
I saw a post on Reddit that said You need to cancel it before 8PM tonight to qualify for the free year.
i chatted with TMO on twitter and they said that it's for new subs only. in theory you can sign up under a new email address. i canceled my current sub but since i pay yearly, it's valid til next Feb.
so i'll probably sign up under another email address to get the free year, and let my other sub expire in feb.
Does The Athletic sub stack on to existing subscriptions? I assume it’s new subs only. Mine is active through next February.
The MLB.TV sub is still the best perk from t-mobile I get every year. Too bad it’s a shortened season but happy they continue to offer it.

It's a great deal. It's only for the current season. Each year they renew it a the T-Mobile Tuesday promo.
Since T-Mobile is getting into the NHL, I was hoping we'd get a NHL TV promo but I guess NBC has that too locked down.

My Athletic subscription expires in October, so I'll just sign up using another email address to get the free year. Appreciate the heads up.
EDIT: Saw the post on Reddit about canceling your current subscription by 8pm EST tonight. That said, I just cancelled.

Nice - so, I canceled when I purchased the Athletic subscription back in March, so it does not expire until next March. Since, I canceled, maybe this will stack?
I am on the grandfathered T-Mobile One plan where I pay $37/line (taxes included) with Netflix HD included. This plan has unlimited voice and data plus 20GB of hotspot.
Can you point me to where you got your pre-paid for $18/line. I have looked and the best I could find listed for T-Mobile pre-paid for unlimited data was $50/line.
EDIT: That must be a grandfathered plan you are on because T-Mobile prepaid plans are much higher priced then what you are paying.

This is a great perk. For the last several years, I've taken advantage. On your phone, tablet, or laptop it's great.
Funnily enough, earlier this year I was thinking about subscribing to The Athletic, but the COVID-19 hit and there wasn't much in the way of sports happening. However I've seen several examples of very good sportswriting come from that site.
The free mlb.tv is a theoretical perk; but, with baseball's stone-age blackout rules - in practice it's not worth much. I'd happily pay the local sports carriage fee (which is under $10) on top of subscribing to mlb.tv; but there's no way I'm paying $70 more a month to comcast just to get the local MLB cable channel.

80 players tested positive for COVID-19 today there isn’t going to be any baseball this season.
Fake news. Sure there will. There have been 80 players that have tested positive since June. Not today. This week was a good week for MLB testing. People need to stop posting fake crap like this. No wonder this is so much confusion on Covid every where!
5 more MLB players positive for COVID, raising total to 80
NEW YORK (AP) — Five more baseball players tested positive for COVID-19 in the past week, raising the total to 80 since testing started in late June. Major League Baseball and the players’ association said six of 10,548 samples were...

I'm not sure how it works, but in the past (I'm not sure if it was 2 or 3 years ago), I was able to watch the Indians Playoff games using the MLB TV app through the T Mobile deal. I didn't pay anything extra (that I remember) to do it. Maybe there was some kind of difference back then, but at one point it was available (unless I paid for something else that I don't remember).
This isn’t the first time they’ve offered it. When I switched in 2018, I missed it by a week, but they offered it last year and I grabbed it. Watched some games, but it would not have been enough for me to pay for it out of pocket.
Netflix on them has been one of the perks I’ve gotten from any mobile carrier. Also, $0.25 cents off gas at any Shell station too. Verizon never gave me a damn thing, just waiting to charge more if I went over; and wanting to continually remind me of their “superior” (decaying) network.

You have to grab the offer through the T-Mobile Tuesdays app on your phone. Without it, you won’t get any of the perks at all. Go to the App Store and download it if you don’t have it.
Been with T-Mobile for 8 years. Love the price for veterans. Not so fond of the poor signal in certain parts of metro Phoenix. Like the $2 Netflix (was free at first). But I'll pass on pro sports on my phone. The rest of you can have any bandwidth I might have used.
Interesting thought that someone spending time on an enthusiast rumor site about a specific tech company, taking the time to read and comment, could be seen as wasted time as well.
As for me? I’m on here, while I enjoy sports too. Double wasting time I guess! I blame the pandemic?
Let’s let people enjoy things.
I guess wasting your life posting in a topic you have no interest in is a much better use of your time
It's not limited to your phone. It's an MLB.tv subscription, and can be used on any device that offers the MLB.tv app.
