When I first signed up, unlimited plans weren’t as competitive because I switched to them 3 years ago when nobody else had unlimited. So I started with them paying $120 for 2 lines. Then they did a promo holiday season of 2016 to add in 2 lines for free so we did and now use those for our iPad. We can use those free lines for anything. Then when Verizon started selling unlimited again, tmo did a promo to add on LTE tethering and HD video streaming for free. Then of course we know they started doing tax included. So I just kept adding on all the promos for free as they offered them.

Same here, except we only have 3 lines and started before the promo so our plan is $140.
That’s essentially the same plan I’m on. I have five lines but the last few lines are only $20 each.
I just started the switch Friday for the exact same reasons. 5 lines, work T-Mobile ONE Amplified, $150 Gift Card per line. Will be saving $40+/month for more.
Figure if T-Mobile sucks after 3 months, I will be about $900 better off which will go to a shiny new iPhone ?? on at&t or back to Verizon!
How did the switch process go? Lose any data or was it as simple as switching out the sim?

Nice! No fair though, I only got $100 a line!
No data loss from switching. Swapped the SIM cards, made a phone call, done.
Did you have to pay for your SIM cards though? If you got them free, that’s only $25/line difference. Less with the tax on the sim!

Yep I had to pay for the SIM cards. Still a good deal though and service has been pretty good. There are a few areas where I used to get slightly better service with Verizon but I’m getting faster speeds overall with TMo.
That stinks. The way I look at it, when I add in the Netflix savings, I’m saving over $50/months.
I borrow Netflix from my parents. I pay their cell phone bills and lend them some of my other streaming services so it’s more than a fair trade. That said I still set up a Netflix account because it’s free.
Haha! I have signed my parents into my Netflix and Hulu. My mom feels guilty. Now I’ll tell her she doesn’t need to go to confession anymore over using my Netflix since she’s on my cell plan and it’s included! Haha.

I read on another site that Costco has the SIM cards at $0 if you switch. YMMV of course.
They do but then you can’t get the Amplified plan or the cash incentives for switching.

Ahh well that makes a difference, thanks
No problem! You can’t always know what you’re talking about. Luckily I’m here to call you out during those moments.
