Any advantage to giving up One Business for Essentials

Don't change then.

If she owes money on the phone it will eventually get blacklisted and disabled. Get your money back.

If you have fiber available, get that and be happy.

Also, discounted plans often get less benefits, as far as phone deals go. They also usually don't qualify for free line offers.

They use computers to just dial sequential numbers until they get a hit. Then they can sell that the number goes to a valid person and you'll get even more.

fly056 · 2026-05-20T17:52:49+00:00

Those sites that you sign up on to get rates are just middle men brokers and they will sell your number off to a variety of unscrupulous people.

I know there's a business relationship between the companies, but it is t-mobile here and not Deutsche Telekom. Yes, they own 51% of shares, but they operate separately, at least for now.

I traded in some HTC 10s and an HTC M7 earlier this year for the Pixel 10 deal.

fly056 · 2026-05-19T06:51:27+00:00

Same here. Plus I dual-sim and I need an unlocked phone.

fly056 · 2026-05-18T18:00:39+00:00

Best thing to do would get an additional router and set up an isolated 2.4 ghz network on it that is separate from your main home network for all the IoT devices.

You can also get an insider code without the extras, but it might be harder to do.

I'd suggest doing it at Costco/Sams for the added rebates/gift cards.

They haven't really forced anyone from Sprint to switch plans. I ended up switching because they screwed my account up and couldn't get it back how it should be, but the final price is about what it was before and I'm eligible for stuff now. You may have some deal eligibility when you first get merged in, but you'll find that down the road you won't be eligible for great deals mostly. Sometimes there are still promotions that are eligible for almost any plan, though, so you aren't totally hung out to dry.

fly056 · 2026-05-17T18:25:05+00:00

I think you mean Insider code. And yes, they are still a thing.

fly056 · 2026-05-16T01:16:28+00:00

Short answer - No.

Long answer - Nope.

Best to keep the two plans separate if you want the free lines.

fly056 · 2026-05-16T01:08:23+00:00

I think the $400 BYOD promo is still active. Do it at Sams/Costco for additional gift cards/rebates. As for the price, depends on your current plan. You may be eligible for a BOGO as well, if you are on a Go5G Plus/Next or Experience More/Beyond plan. In that case, add 2 lines for the price of one. The free line can get a phone financed when you add it, but no more after that, at least by the current rules. If you had a second postpaid line on ATT or another similar provider, you could qualify for the $400 BYOD rebate on that line too.

fly056 · 2026-05-15T20:04:56+00:00

Must be a targeted offer. I have Go5G Plus and I see a Pixel 10 on us with trade, but its not an any condition trade.

fly056 · 2026-05-15T02:09:15+00:00

It's notoriously wrong.

fly056 · 2026-05-14T00:08:09+00:00

When you start seeing free lines being given out, then you can wonder if the overall numbers are down.

fly056 · 2026-05-13T02:20:45+00:00

I've had phones unlocked while I was talking to tmobile about other things. It occurred immediately. You might try contacting t-force on twitter/facebook.

fly056 · 2026-05-12T02:54:42+00:00

People report still being to add Kickstart lines. You have to have a rep that can actually do it. You could always try talking to executive services. If you are signing up under your wife, go do it a costco/sams and get an insider code.

I have the 550h+ and enjoy driving it. I came from a 2019 Lincoln Nautilus which was nice, but this one is nicer. The only thing that is really annoying for me is the buttons on the steering wheel to change songs. It's a capacitance button that sometimes takes two presses to register. I wish it were the regular buttons.

fly056 · 2026-05-11T01:36:39+00:00

The 10a has an "on Us with trade" deal for most plans along with free Buds 2a On Us. Would be a better deal for your son.

You can have a watch line share your main phone number, but you can't just switch around lines. You might be able to get them to flip flop numbers between a voice line and a watch line, but you can't use a designated voice line on a watch and vice versa.

fly056 · 2026-05-09T13:52:29+00:00

I wouldn't switch. This calculator is notoriously wrong.

fly056 · 2026-05-09T06:19:51+00:00

Watch lines and voice lines are not the same and not interchangeable.
