Perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
This would be great if T-mobile actually had service in my area.
And if I could afford service at all.

My current plan cost exactly the same as new unlimited, so I'm happy with this. Sprint and T-Mobile are garbage where I live.

Waiting to be able to get a Pixel phone so I can jump over to tmobile.
I don't think it would be just for new customers. They'd rather have everyone on their One plan, I'm assuming. I will check on Friday since a new store opened near my house.

Now if only they could improve their building penetration I would be super duper happy.
I've taken two international trips in the last year (Europe and Japan) and honestly, the 2G speeds were more than enough to meet my wife and I's needs while trying to get around. Using walking GPS when navigating cities, pulling up metro maps and using local metro apps, hunting for places to eat, etc. all worked just fine. We're both pretty chill travelers though, so waiting 8 seconds for a page to load vs. 3 seconds wasn't a huge deal.

I'm so glad I switched to T-mobile. The Tuesday specials that they do are so freaking nice!
I'm going for the pixel promotion of getting half the cost back over 24 months on my bill, if they don't cancel the promotion on Friday haha.

So i got this offer for 6 lines at 160$ taxes included.
Now I wanted to know if I get iphone 7 now..will I be able to trade it for the 8 when it comes out? I just forgot to ask the rep there.

That's nice of you. I'd take that offer but I'm waiting for the S8 before switching.
You can take your phone with you.
Can you do that online or does it have to be in store?

Someone needs to whip up a big chart comparing the big four's services and prices. I'm getting lost with all the shade everyone is throwing at each other all of a sudden.

Time to finally change to the one plan. Good shit.

Let me ask you this, and I'll do it here so perhaps it would help someone else.
Have an upgrade phone with Apple, no contract, that shouldn't be an issue, right? (7+)
Have an AT&T line, no contract, but still owe about $150 on. Wife doesn't care about upgrading, but if I get a better deal I could. Pay off first, bring over, pay off, sell, buy another, or have T-Mo buy out? (iPhone 6, so I know ELTE I wouldn't get if I just keep)
Have a third line, no contract, device should work. This one will be easy. (Unlocked Blu Android)
Fourth line is currently prepaid T-Mo. Would like to convert this one as my fourth line. (dumb phone)
I can't find any information about costs for more than 4 lines. I currently pay ~$160/mo for 5 lines, but only one has unlimited data. If I can make the other lines unlimited for not too much more, I'd change my plan in a heartbeat.
EDIT: Never mind - Toki767's post pretty much answers the question for me.

remember, T-Mobile's plan includes taxes and fees and the others don't.
Sprint is looking sexy as fuck right now.
Just remember that those prices are promotional for the next year, not permanent.

The nice thing about contracts not being a thing anymore is that on 3/31/18 when the price is set to go back up you can reevaluate and see what carrier offers a better deal and switch.

Wait is this 100$ plus taxes and fees?? Like... Included in the 100??

Yes, but you'll need to add equipment charges.

Good point. Thinking about making that move. Paying ATT $100/month for unlimited data for 1 line (grandfathered). Was waiting for the i8 before changing plans/carriers.
What do.
Plus device cost
Sprint and T-Mo are killing it right now. And it's all contractless so as long as your lease terms are fulfilled you can jump ship with no charge. If you leave before fulfilling the lease then you'll have to pay the remaining balance on the device, which you can then take to whichever carrier you want.
Good to see some competition happening. Now make the prices even lower.
And AT&T is trash. Absolute worst value all around

honestly didn't think we'd get unlimited back so quickly. I knew it'd be unsustainable with streaming and data usage on the rise but didn't know it'd be back so soon.

Now that it's active, can anyone comment on if you still have to activate the daily HD video passes or if HD is just automatic
What does that mean in real terms?
Let's say I'm switching 6 lines using already purchased Nexus phones (carrier independent phones)

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
As long as your phones have the bands then it just means sim swapping.

I'm currently on this plan, is it worth it to switch to the new One plan? I know the old One plan was worse like mandatory Binge-On and no free high speed tethering, but looks like they finally got rid of those and the price including taxes/fees is mighty tempting.

This shit looks so good. If it wasn't so hard to switch w/ a device I'm already paying monthly payments on I'd jump in a second.
Yeah still gonna stick with my 6GB LTE with binge on and tethering for $40 a month (unlimited talk text)
This was supposed to be a temporary discount when sprint cut their rates in half years ago, but T-Mobile has just kept it as is for like 3 years, and even gave me binge on and tethering.
6GB is pretty muc perfect, I usually run out right at the end of my bill cycle. Having free YouTube, etc and music streaming really helps.

Is there any way to get an estimated monthly taxes and fees that I would be charged on Sprint in my area? Curious how much would be tacked onto that $50 monthly cost.
Switched from $80 for two lines for 2GB of data per line + taxes and fees (which ultimately came out to around $98) to $100 for unlimited with taxes and fees included, plus 10GB of LTE hotspot per line. Feels real good. And I get a $10 kickback if I use less than 2GB of data, which I often do since I'm usually on WiFi anyway.

state and local taxes
$1.99 per line administrative fee
~$1 federal services fee
~$1 911 fee
probably approaching $10

All it took was Verizon to actually get competitive with unlimited data and all the other companies are in shambles.

John Legere seems like the kind of crazy motherfucker I'd like to be friends with in real life, or at least get drinks with one night
