Already on my account, but I want to shrink my bill by going with the senior plan and then my third line will probably go to mintsim.

If by senior plan you mean the 55+ one, that's limited to 2 lines and account owner must be 55.

You can sign her up then transfer your line to her account.

Is the $30 nerd plan still available through Walmart? I've got that plan now, and my wife wants to switch over to it too.

Toebone posted:Is the $30 nerd plan still available through Walmart? I've got that plan now, and my wife wants to switch over to it too. Nope. They closed it to new subscribers early this year. For alternatives, consider MintSIM (5 GB with unlimited talk+text on the T-Mobile network for $20/month right now, though you need to prepay for 3 or more months of service) or Cricket (5 GB (limited to 8Mbps) with unlimited talk+text on the AT&T network for $35/month with auto-pay discount).

Wow, MintSIM is pretty nice. I think the only drawback is no free international roaming/texting, but if you don't cross borders or have friends in other countries that you need to keep in sms/mms contact with, that seems like a smoking deal.

Family member of mine is looking to switch two lines to T-Mobile, are they running any promos right now?

BOGO via prepaid card looks like.

T-Mobile just bought Layer3, who are a IPTV cable company in the Midwest. Their service apparently requires a dedicated set-top box, but that could (and probably will) change. That, plus the 5G network that they're rolling out, suggests that they're planning to become an ISP/Cable/Wireless triple threat, like AT&T and Verizon. If their services are good and cheap (which it probably will be), it could be a huge deal. I currently pay ~$280/month total for internet, Playstation Vue, HBO, and two T-Mo lines. I bet T-Mo could get me all that for under $200.

Here's some ways to lock down your account more. https://www.t-mobile.com/company/privacy-resources/account-security/account-verification.html Be warned that a lot or CSRs are not well versed in this yet.

I generally try to avoid brand loyalty, especially in this particular field, but I like T-Mobile a lot outside of their awful retail stores. This is good news to me. At worst it’s competition that could force other companies to improve their services and pricing.

My sister is going to study abroad in Spain and we wanted to know what we needed to do with her phone situation. We're currently on the simple choice plan and she has an iPhone 8. Do we need to switch to the One plan? I really don't want to since I have the 20 dollar unlimited plan.

Is there a simple plan that would be good for an older person? My grandma needs a new phone since she's still on an old keyboard dumb phone that's dying but I don't want her bill to jump drastically by adding data. Right now she pays about $35 for unlimited Talk & Text.

Otherwise check out the $30 MetroPCS plan (tax included) with unlimited talk/text and 2GB high speed data.

I don't have T-Mobile (I'm Project Fi) but while she was here I just happened to see she was having issues getting group texts and pictures from other family members since she doesn't have data on her plan (according to her) and she told me she was paying ~$35 for this non-data plan with a non-smartphone through T-Mobile. I'm thinking I'll get her an updated phone when I visit her in February but wanted to know if there were comparably priced plans with data so her bill wouldn't change because she likes the price point. She won't be using data that much but just being able to get all the family group texts, pictures, etc. would be appreciated. Prepaid may be the way to go it seems.

My wife and I are at $140/mo, two lines, two device payments. It would be less but I haven't gotten off my rear end and sold my old V20 yet. I'm probably gonna keep it so that the next time I get the urge to switch back to Android I'll use it for a bit and remember why I switched back to iOS.

FWIW, ~$85 after taxes for two phones and two tablets. 6gb each with binge on and unlimited rest. Don't think I can ever leave. Too good of a deal.

Are all these promos for new accounts when they come up or can you figure out a way to swap a current account to them? My 177 is 100 for two lines + 10+15 per line for...existing or something, then my phone financing, then fees. I guess it’s actually a pretty accurate deal but “100 for two lines!” when you’re really paying 125 after everything is poop :/ Unrelated - has anyone been having iPhone issues since the carrier update pushed yesterday? Apps on my 7 are straight locking for 30 seconds (can still close them but rebooting them returns them in a locked state) and my home screen movement is lagging sometimes. Might be unrelated but that’s the only thing that changed yesterday

If I'm planning on switching to Tmobile from AT&T with 5 lines, is there any likely benefit to waiting or is the current price likely to be approximately the best we're likely to see? I saw there was a Hookup promotion earlier in the year, is that something that TMobile regularly does or was it a rare one off?

From my experience, T-Mobile has been slowly increasing their pricing (or more accurately, removing promotions) for new accounts over the past couple years. Can't guarantee anything, but now is most likely better than later. Someone else, feel free to give a better analysis.

FolioFirst wants me to either unlock brokerage features for $5/mo or pay $15/yr annual maintenance for my one share of T-Mobile stock? This is some bullshit, I don't even know why they transferred my share over there in the first place.

This is some bullshit, I don't even know why they transferred my share over there in the first place. The original holder, Loyal3, went belly up or something and FolioFirst was the default place the shares were sent. Back when it happened, you also had the option to have the share transferred to a brokerage account of your choice fee-free, but I guess you missed that window. You should still be able to transfer that share to a brokerage account you have somewhere else, but I don't know if they charge any fees. Or you can just cash out.

Transferring to another brokerage would make sense if I actually had a brokerage account somewhere, this is pretty much the only stock I have. Guess I'm cashing out.
