Do you not have WiFi calling enabled?

Is it better to get on a payment plan again or get a new device?
I have no experience with the latter, but with the former, waiting for sales is your friend- the S7 payment plan was cheaper when they put it on sale last week.
How does your home's coverage appear on T-Mobile's coverage map online? I'm curious how accurate their map is.

Can be a new number, existing number, or a data only line.
I plan to bring my existing AT&T phones. Hopefully this isn't an issue. One iPhone 6 and one iPhone 6S+. I figure the standard 6 might be missing support for a few T-Mobile bands, but doesn't the AT&T 6S+ support all the necessary T-Mobile bands? The dumb-phone on our account will likely be replaced, so that's not an issue.

The 6S is a universal phone, so it should work fine. The 6 too since you have the GSM version, but won't have VoLTE on TMob since no Band 12 support.
Shit gets weird when it comes to Android phones and spotty Band 12 support on AT&T.

If you live in an area with Band 12, you definitely need a phone that supports it, while its a slower band its coverage goes much further.
You definitely want phones that support Wi-Fi Calling/Texting

Got my first bill already.
Two lines w/ Hookup: $80
Third line w/ Hookup: $32 (too bad I didn't wait on this one, but w/e)
Kickback on two lines: -$20
Total: $92. Compared to about $135 I would be paying with AT&T. Many thanks to Anustart. Going to go activate my free fourth line today, albeit at the cost of a $25 SIM.

So I made the switch from Project Fi - well I'm in the process of doing it. I got two lines for $100 in which I'll make sure Kickback is activated. I had them send the 3rd SIM for the free line, but I may cancel it. My fiance gets her phone for free (on her parent's plan and she doesn't have to pay) and I really shouldn't have a use for a 3rd line afterall.
I was able to get the $150 gift card too - I guess Fi counts. No 20%, though. But with Kickback, hopefully my bill will be about $80 a month. From there, my employer actually gives me a stipend of $70 a month for a cell/data plan for work.
Is it possible to call back asking for the 20% employee discount thing or is it too late? I did at least get two of the SIMs at a reduced price. Not quite $0.99, but $3.99. Rather than $25 or whatever.

Switched our plan from the 2 line simple promo to the 2 line one+ and I opted for the $25 unlimited 4g tethering for my line. I'm due to pay off my lease for my current phone, so that will save me $25, bringing the total down to be less than what we pay currently due to being all in.
I did the switch online. I'll have to read up on that 3rd free line thing, although I really have no use for it unless I use a phone just for data only.
It's going to be so nice having that kind of tethering. Our home internet is just under 5MB down and .5MB up, and is down at least once per month. It's down today actually. Now I can just switch to the hotspot and get 3 to 4x the speed plus use the unlimited HD streaming right on my TV.
I'd almost cancel my home internet if the tether never throttled.

Fucking hell, missed the one free line deal because of some laziness, a straight period of work, some money worries (it WOULD take a few cycles even with refund) and an unclear deadline.
Hopefully it pops back up sooner than later. I've got a spare phone and SIM card to get going ASAP. And would've thrown my brother on when convenient too.
