I'm already paying that for my one voice line(with unlimited), so I'm considering switching.

metroPCS $60 unlimited* with 6GB tether, vs $95 for unlimited* + unlimited* tether

(*with 26GB deprioritization limit)

With no international roaming

Is it only the higher priced plans? I was reading the one plus and it noted the higher international speeds. I couldn't figure out if it was throughout and including the old simple choice plans.

Someone correct me but the only way I see to get the 256kbit roaming is to have the $25 one+ addon.

We are on the Simple Choice North America Plan and upgraded back when they give 10 GB from the 6 GB plan for 4 lines we get 10GB each. We are paying $135 for 4 lines all in and I only use 1 GB of my Data per month and Data Stash but use Binge On for music/video streaming.

So there is no need for unlimited data unless its for business purposes and someone else is footing the bill.

Interesting developments.

They've now:
a) Texted me that they're upgrading me for free to unlimited for the next ~2 1/2 years (through 2/28/19 of all weird dates.) The small print shows that I keep my current limit for tethering, but lose data stash (which I've never gone into even heavy tethering months as it is.)

b) The web site is back to allowing me to add lines on my current plan. It's also saying I don't need to pay anything extra monthly for them (which should be $20.) I'm tempted to add a line for my son and see if the $0-extra-a-month sticks; even at $20 more a month this is a better deal than moving to the present t-mobile one plan just for the 4 current lines.

My hotspot line, which had been "match phone line data up to 5GB/month" for $10, was supposed to go back to 2.5GB/month when that promotion ended (same $10 rate), but is now showing just a 5GB plan for the same $10 (actually $20 minus a $10 discount; *shrug*)

I wonder what's triggering the free upgrade. It seems like only some got that text (I haven't yet).

A few days ago, they texted me that I get an extra 1 GB per line until Feb.

I checked the iPhone 7 upgrade deal. It's asking for new t-mobile one plan. No thanks.

No it doesn't.

Hummm I ordered it on friday and there wasn't that restriction.

I have the simple choice plan. I'm upgrading.

You do know that we can be both right in this case, don't you? It might not have that restriction on friday and yet, it has today. You need to keep that screenshot if you want to keep your simple plan.

I found it. Lucky I did it early! =)

Starting September 15, 2016, you'll need to sign up for T-Mobile ONE to take advantage of the iPhone 7 Trade-Up Offer. If you already took advantage of this offer between September 9 and September 14, you do not need to switch to T-Mobile ONE to keep the offer.

The tethering thing is a real pain on the One plans. I have 3 Simple Choice Unlimited plans for $140, which I think come with 5 GB of LTE tethering. Seems like I'm stuck to keep the tether.

If they offered unlimited high speed international roaming, some people on SC might bite.

This is the one thing that would lure me back from Project Fi

Has anyone done the trade-in offer?

Free iPhone 7 32 GB with a iPhone 6S or 6S Plus, $120 more for iPhone 7 Plus?

But it appears in order to get the "free" or minimal trade in, you have to upgrade to the One plan, can't stay on Simple Choice?

And if you get the free trade in, you own the phone clear or are you still paying installments on it after giving up a 1-year old iPhone 6S or 6S Plus?

I did the trade-in for one of our lines, using an older iPhone 5 that was just laying around - so not completely "free", but will end up paying around $250 for the iPhone 7 at the end of it all.

I pre-ordered on Sept 9 and the requirement to upgrade to the One plan was added on Sept 16 so I'm good there.

The "free" phone is based on bill credits over 24 months which offset the EIP (Equipment Installment Plan) charges every month. You would own the phone after those 24 months of course.

So you didn't have to change your plan to the One?

Nope, stayed on Simple Choice NA (the promotional one from last year, $120/4 lines 10Gb each) - at the time of the introduction of this trade-in offer, it wasn't an issue. They added the One plan requirement on September 15 or 16th I think.

You mean it would lure you back if Tmo offered it free? Google Fi offers it now (but you pay for it of course, just like in the States).
