My wife and I are thinking of jumping ship off sprint. Customer service has just been horrible this year and with them being rid of upgrades after 2 years, there's no point in keeping our sero accounts. She needs to have an apple phone for work, and I'm locked into Android. Is the $100 all in plan the best deal I use an insane amount of data, so unlimited is kinda a must. What's this 20% off thing people are talking about?

So my in-laws are looking for a new plan and phones. I'm leaning toward the base 55+ plan. Should they till black Friday for phone deals? Or just go with the bogo samsung s20?

I think I'm on a Pixel 3 and believe my wife is an iPhone 8 Plus.

We're using the default messaging apps.(Google's Messages for me, Apple's Messages for her)

My wife and I have this issue her being on iphone 10 or 11 pro or plus(I don't follow apple closely) and I'm on an LG G8x. Videos to and from her parents on a decades old Android have no issue.

We "solved" it by just using Facebook messenger for videos

I'm currently on the old T-Mobile One Plus plan - is there any downside to swapping to the Magenta Max plan? I see I lose voicemail-to-text, but iPhone visual voicemail handles that anyway.

It's a really dumbass reason (I can't get the free year of Apple TV+ without a Magenta-branded plan), but if there's literally no downside I might as well take the benefit. And its not like they're going to add benefits for the old plans, right?

I got the free apple tv year on an old Sprint plan. Weird.

Coming from Sprint,I have one of my three lines that still needs upgraded our it'll stop working in the next month. It's my "home phone"/son's phone, so it doesn't have to be great. But I'd like it to be better than the Samsung A50 that I have on it now. The free ones they advertise are slightly worse, are there any free/cheapo phones better than it through T-Mobile? I'm fine being locked into 24 months or whatever.

Edit:

These two are like $2 a month are they any good? The Nokia has 6g ram but it's missing a bunch of cellular bands?

The Nokia is designed exclusively for TMobile. Better not travel anywhere with it.

Oof. Any suggestions then?

Hey I have I have 9 months left on by Pixel 6 pro contract thing. It's $10 a month after a $25 credit. The screen has broken. If I just activate another phone on my line do I still get the credit since they're still going to charge me monthly as long as I don't enter into a new monthly phone purchase agreement or whatever? Or do I actually have to have the phone on my line for the credit? I'm on the Sprint grandfathered in swac plan whatever that's called now.

Edit also, any deals on T-Mobile phones would be appreciated

I'm on swac on going on a cruise this week. I believe it has free roaming, but will I get a million charges if I attempt to use it on the ship?

I'm not sure about cruise ships but you should have Sprint Global roaming. Which includes unlimited text, and unlimited data at 2G speeds in like 140 countries or something ridiculous. I forget where exactly you can check on this, but I just looked it up for my son's account because he's going to England. So just putz around your plan and add-ons and that crap and make sure it's there.

Unrelated Edit: is this the best deal floating around at the moment? I need a phone with the quickness and it's in stock at my store.
$250 Motorola - Moto G Stylus 5G 256GB (2022 Unlocked) - Seafoam Green (Best Buy)

Thanks. It was written really confusingly on my bill compared to how it looked the last time I subsidized a phone. I also confirmed through their chat that is true as well.

I’m a legacy Sprint Kickstart customer. I didn’t see that listed nor have I received any communications. Hoping they don’t touch that. No way that compares in price.

Yeah I'm on advantage. It's not listed in their list so we'll see.

I don't watch Netflix so it ruined it when they swapped Amazon for Netflix.

Another free line deal. You need an employee to check your segments page to see if your eligible.
