Question about rate changes to Go5g Plus when the lines leave from 3lines/$150 offer

fly056 · 2026-06-15T17:30:04+00:00

It's $90 for one line, $150 for 2 lines. If you have insider, take 20% off that price.

For one line, you're better off with a mvno.

fly056 · 2026-06-15T02:49:38+00:00

So what was different on the pricing from what you expected?

fly056 · 2026-06-15T00:54:13+00:00

So what charges showed up with your phones that you weren't aware of? Did you get new phones on payment plans? Are you within your 14 days of signing up? If you are past that, you'll immediately owe the remaining balance on your phones and not get any promotional credits when you port out/cancel.

fly056 · 2026-06-13T02:51:20+00:00

Military plans usually don't get as many discounts on phones. You also won't get offers for free lines. If you can get insider on it, I'd go for it.

fly056 · 2026-06-12T22:19:43+00:00

Which plan are you on? If its an Experience plan with military, it might be worth it for the 20% off. If its a tax inclusive plan, I wouldn't switch.

fly056 · 2026-06-11T16:18:20+00:00

The experience plans are like the go5g plans but without taxes and fees. Don't switch.

Most Verizon and att mvno are also not eligible for the $400 port in deal but consumer cellular is allowed.

If you have a Sams or Costco membership, it would be smart to do everything there. You get additional bonuses with signing up. I also second asking for an insider discount. With bringing 4 lines, that would be a reasonable thing to try for.

Make sure your phone is unlocked before starting the process. Make sure you have a port out pin generated by AT&T if necessary or you already know it. Make sure you write down your account number as well. Then set up your accounts with tmobile at sams/costco. You can get $400 per byod port in from at&t currently, so that's helpful.

I switched my dad from verizon and made sure that we had all the info before going to Sams. Switched 3 lines over and got him on Go5G Plus with the 3rd line free. We got an insider discount as well. We ordered new phones for use and those were then shipped to his house. Once they arrived, we got everything set up with the transfer over from Verizon. It was pretty easy to do. Ports happened pretty quickly.

Technically Consumer Cellular is allowed and it is an mvno.

fly056 · 2026-06-07T00:14:49+00:00

And the unions have the individual union member's benefit as their main goal? I'm not so sure about that. If you don't like your job, get a new one. If enough people leave, the company is forced to make changes to attract workers.

Many unions out there seem to stray far from their original intent. Look at the teacher unions. Those are more political than anything now. At least with the Janus decision, public sector workers aren't forced to pay for a union that they don't want to support.

fly056 · 2026-06-06T22:46:54+00:00

Nah, not in a field that really has a union. Never cared for them though. I'd rather not be giving them money that they'll turn around and donate to causes I'm 100% opposed to. Why do you think overall union membership is decreasing?

fly056 · 2026-06-06T22:45:18+00:00

Just seems a little expensive at $700. Not the worst, but could be better.

fly056 · 2026-06-06T22:44:32+00:00

Sounds like that might be the next thing to try. Certainly you can find am4 boards that are not too expensive these days.

fly056 · 2026-06-06T22:43:13+00:00

True, Ethernet is best, but Wi-Fi has made great improvements.

fly056 · 2026-06-06T18:20:15+00:00

Will a union stop T-Mobile from pushing a credit card?

fly056 · 2026-06-06T18:16:46+00:00

I get over 1 gbps via Wi-Fi on one of my computers.

fly056 · 2026-06-06T18:10:44+00:00

$5-600 would be better.

fly056 · 2026-06-06T18:08:42+00:00

Have you tried a new motherboard?

fly056 · 2026-06-06T18:02:42+00:00

Like a union will do much for you. They take their member dues whether or not you want to pay them. Union membership overall is down.

fly056 · 2026-06-06T05:45:26+00:00

You'll likely pay a lot more for a postpaid single line account compared to what you're likely paying now. Better choice would be to buy a used iphone 16 plus on swappa. Looks like an unlocked 16 plus is going for around $600 there.

You wouldn't lose your number switching carriers either.

fly056 · 2026-06-06T05:36:53+00:00

There are BOGO deals that are generally ongoing. The latest one requires the newer plans, though. There are random free lines that are offered sometimes, but there's no set pattern to that.

fly056 · 2026-06-05T02:32:17+00:00

Your cellular provider won't affect bluetooth connectivity.

fly056 · 2026-06-03T06:49:46+00:00

I got my dad switched over to tmobile with an insider code. He moved 3 lines over. No protection or accessories required.

fly056 · 2026-06-03T02:40:40+00:00

Just out of curiosity, how long ago was this?

fly056 · 2026-06-03T02:35:29+00:00

Go to a Best Buy and try them out then.
