The Apple store/online store says that the trade in value for the iPhone 12 ranges from $100 to $230 depending on your model. The iPhone 12 mini is $100 the Pro Max is $230. The base model is $140.

You will only get the most trade in value on the highest plan. If you want more for your trade in then you go ultimate. Want a lower plan then you’ll less for trade in then. Pick one. These are the most common scenarios.

Every now and then they will have promos where they won’t required a trade in, you can pick any plan and the phone is free (bill credits). They’re running that promo right now for 16 pros. May see those type of deals around Black Friday and the holidays on the 17s. Good luck.

Change your flair to billing and let a mod help you out with the transition and confirm it all for you. I jumped from Verizon not too long ago as well, good decision on your part.

Don't save a few bucks for headaches.  I wish I had fiber right now.  My starlink modem went down(customer service hasn't gotten back to me) and my backup T-Mobile home internet doesn't have the bandwidth for everybody.  Stick with fiber.  

Fiber over FWA alreadys unless your the very few that live in the mmWave 5G home markets. Your upload will not match Fios by a long shot. If you do video calling or meetings a lot you’re gonna notice the difference imo. I’m not saying TMO 5G internet is bad but it’s highly variable and can’t even compare to fiber.

Will it work for you? Maybe. That's highly dependent on your actual location/tower you use and what exactly you need out of the connection. Someone across town from you nevermind a different part of the country can have vastly different experience. It is NOT as good as fiber or even cable though, at least for the home service with provided gateways. While speed is usually not an issue, other aspects like latency (particularly loaded is where things can suffer, not so much idle), packet loss, and that sort of thing can really come into play. Also the provided gateways are extremely limited if you need any specific network configuration or something. Some of that you can work around, but still kind of a hassle. Also the connection can be pretty inconsistent too, especially if you are in a congested area or have marginal signal. It can be great for days, not so great on other days, etc.

Personally I wouldn't use it if my livelihood depended on it and had wired isp's as options. For a general home connection where any of that isn't as critical it's great for the right price. If nothing else, try it out with a good amount of overlap before cancelling FiOS. Like a good couple weeks or more rather than days.

So I have had TMHI for almost 3 years now (Cleveland, OH area). I switched from ATT Fiber. I had issues for the first few months but they got corrected. And I had alot of patients. I use my own routers connected in AP mode because I need a mesh network.
Everything has been good for over 2 years until the last 2 months. They finally upgraded my area to 5G SA. And I went from speeds of 500mbps-900mbps now to only 50mbps-150mbps. Uploads are even worse going from 80-100mbps now to under 5mbps and sometimes 0. Average PIngs went from 20-30ms to now 50-75ms. And I've read that 5G SA is much slower. Amazingly my connection stats got better but my speeds got slower. But it's a very oversaturated area here, it's a major metro.
That being said today was my last straw. Ever since they launched the 5G SA, I've been having to reset my gateway 3-4 times a week. Pings will go into the 2000's. And a restart usually corrects it. But today it didn't and my cell phone mobile internet was out also. Tech support instead of helping me, instead wanted to sell me a new iPhone. Literally 5 times even though I said NO 5 times. And then he tried to tell me that I need to reset my iPhone to correct the issue, and I hung up. I don't know what has happened at T-Mobile lately.
I will be honest I'm on the $25/mo for life promo. It has become worthless. I have ATT Fiber coming out tomorrow. They have a promo for the gigabit plan for $65/mo for as long as you keep it going in here right now.
My advice, stick to Fiber because it seems T-Mobile has become in the business of making money but not caring about service provided. And it really seems like the 5G SA upgrade is actually a downgrade. And I loved my TMHI, I would rave to everyone. I even have a friend who lives a few suburbs away who got it a few months after me, loved it but also recently got the 5G SA update and is also having nothing but issues ever since.
And I'm a person who thinks even that maybe they want us promo/grandfathered customers to leave b/c they don't make money off us. But it shouldn't be this way.

If any of your work connections require IP address whitelisting, TMHI is a tough choice, since it uses CGNAT and they rotate IPs constantly (multiple times per day).

I think most of us get to this point eventually. I have a setup for USPSA CO, a setup for PCSL 2–gun, and a battle belt for tactical LARPing.

I have a Double Alpha Alpha X race holster with two different insert blocks. I can use the block that fits my Czechmate for Open or Limited division, depending on how I set up my Czechmate, and use the block for my TS2 for Limited division.

I still have my old belt with my production division holster, that fits my Shadow 2, but I put my mag holders on my other belt.

Now I just need to have my TS2 and Shadow 2 slides cut for optics, and be able to do Carry Optics or Limited Optics division.

Ohhh man I’m just getting into this sport(orientation in a couple weeks).. and this picture makes me feel too poor to play. 😂

This is the way

Nice, I did the same. So much more convenient.

Jio postpaid is more frugal in the long run . Prepaid pack validity is a factor of 28. But the postpaid Bill cycle is a factor of 30 days. Unlimited 5G is on the top. Now Jio offered Vonr calling .

If you technically analyse JIO has strong spectrum holding for smoother service of both 4G and 5G .

Give a try to jio postpaid family plan

But add on sim will be new one with new number. They won't allow to add the old one. That's what they told to me

Have you looked at jio annual plan of 3599? It'll come down to around 20 per day for both of you.

You'll get 2.5 GB/day and true 5G offer.

Why ? Recharge with 899 plan it comes with 2gb/day+20gb extra for 90 days it works out to less than 10rs per day.

Airtel axis cred card gets you rs.250 cashback on airtel plan recharges. Not promoting it.. Just a way to earn cashback.

Do it! Pay off your phone and switch. You can get $20 off your first month with a referral code. Then you can get $6 off each month with 6off12 code.

Even if you got the visible+ pro plan($45 a month) your effective monthly payment is $37.34 a month

The days of me paying stupid monthly payments for a plan are over.

Oh and if you have fios, you can link your Verizon fios account and get $15 off a month that service.

There’s a “break even”. How much will you save monthly compared to how much you’d be giving up in credits. Decide whether it’s worth it for you.

You would lose the credits and owe the remaining amount in full in your final statement.

I just paid a hair over a thousand dollars to pay off 2 phones on big blue. I lost all promotional credits.

I will save that much in less than 3 phone bills.

Yes, big blue was that expensive.

59 days and counting until I can port those 2 lines out.

I would try a network reset. You’ll have to re-enter your passwords for WiFi again and reconnect to previously paired Bluetooth devices but you won’t lose anything on your phone. It’s like a hard restart to your mobile service. It will ping you to the nearest tower.

>But my text messages won't go through and I don't receive them even on rcs and connected to Wi-Fi.

Do you have WiFi calling enabled? Once that is properly setup (911 address registered on account, enabled in settings on phone) the text messages should work over WiFi.

>Right now I pay $15 for unlimited, talk text and 5gb data. That's all I need.

Check out the BYOD deals on Visible or Total.

Visible would be overkill but it's only $19/month right now for their base plan for a year.

MobileX would be $14.88 for their 10GB plan. Boom! and US Mobile would be $15/month for their 5GB plans.

If priority doesn’t matter, MobileX has the unlimited 10 plan. $14.88/mo + taxes and fees. Unlimited call/text and 10GB of deprioritized data before throttling you to 512kbps. Also has hotspot 10GB and hard capped.

Also deprioritized plan is US Mobile 5GB By the Gig plan on the “Warp” network which is Verizon. Unlimited talk/text and 5GB data hard capped. Has hotspot hard capped at 5GB too. $15/mo taxes and fees included.

If you don't need unlimited calls/texts and are ok with an annual plan Infimobile has a plan thats 2500 min and 2500 sms texts with 5gb of hard capped data for $100 a year plus tax and they use Verizon

If you are open to ATT RedPocket has an eBay plan for unlimited calls/texts with 5gb of hard capped data for $120 for the year plus sales taxes

If you want to try either network Visible(VZW) and cricket(ATT) have trial eSIMs available for 14 days to see if it works for you

There is a 30-day lock-in period.

30 days for paid and 90 days for free ig

It depends on your service provider. Airtel has 90 days lock-in for postpaid to prepaid conversion

It’s the same. Except for the perks. You might, might get a bit slower internet but, that’s about it. Oh. Insurance, maybe different type of customer service but, it’s the same great service.

No partner roaming outside of the native Verizon network or LTEiRA partners on PrePaid. Otherwise there isn't much difference. You can see the coverage difference on this map

Check out visible. I had verizon before and it was like 160 for two phones. Now with pretty much same service on the verizon network I and my wife pay 30 for each of our phones

That would depend on how you define better.

Prepaid pros:

• cheap
• apart from E911 all surcharges included
• becomes even cheaper with time via autopay and loyalty discounts
• if on Prepaid Unlimited Plus, same level of prioritized service as Postpaid Unlimited Plus.
• sparse free phone promos still exist, but you have to pay for the phone up front first and get credited later
• no being “locked in” for 3 years—you have to own your phone outright so you can leave whenever, except with those free phone promos which aren’t paid out until the 6th or 12th month of service

Prepaid cons:

• no service retainment up to 30 days past due—if you’re late on payment your line simply shuts off until you pay
• no payment flexibility—no payment arrangements
• no financing your phone
• no insurance options or perks
• all plans besides Prepaid Unlimited Plus are deprioritized service meaning you’re first in line to get throttled
• makes no sense if you have 3-4 people on one account
• practically zero support from stores, and customer service experience isn’t great either

Postpaid pros:

• device financing
• robust promos on phones, watches, tablets
• prioritized service on Unlimited Plus/Ultimate
• Verizon 5G/LTE/Fios Internet $15/mo discount
• Perks for discounted subscription services like Disney, Netflix, Apple Music, Apple One, YouTube Premium, and others
• Insurance options as low as $4.95/mo for tablets and $7.95/mo for phones
• enhanced customer service experience
• flexibility on past due payments, no service suspension until 30 days past due, 60 days past due with a payment arrangement
• when you have 3+ people on the same account, monthly rates are very reasonable

Postpaid cons:

• expensive (for one or two line plans)
• if getting a phone on promo, locked in for 3 years if you truly want that promo paid out in full
• Unlimited Welcome is practically identical to Prepaid Unlimited
• surcharges and taxes are not included in the advertised prices
• AutoPay through checking account or Verizon Credit Card is REQUIRED to get the $10/mo/line discount, no debit cards or “outside” credit cards
• Lots of fees, especially reconnect fees. If you go without paying your bill long enough it’ll incur a reconnect fee per line, including watch lines, tablet lines, and internet lines. If you have a family plan with four phones, two tablets, a watch, and internet, and let your service get suspended, be prepared to pay $160 in reconnect fees alone, on top of late fees.
