I got so many questions. I'm already on unlimited, and I'd be trading in a 11 pro max towards a 12 pro max. Can I use the credit and pay it off early so I'm not stuck with it for 30 months?
If it's like other phone offers, I'm pretty sure the credit will be applied monthly specifically so you're locked into the service for however long they specify.
Anyway, telecom companies are such a joke in the US. They really need reform. I'm currently on a pre-paid phone service that uses Sprint towers. I'm not sure how the T-Mobile acquisition affected them. It's $55 unlimited for 3 people. The signal isn't great at times, the speeds can choke randomly, and the customer service is non-existent (seriously, you message them the problem, they ask you for your account information before they can help, then proceed to tell you they can't help). But when it works, it works. You get what you pay for, I suppose.
A few months ago I tried doing one of these deals for iPhone 11 with T-Mobile. I brought my phone in-store, spoke with the rep, and he started my account. But then he dropped a bombshell that I was getting like $40 for my iPhoen 7 trade-in. I tried to insist that the deal said if I traded in an iPhone 7, the iPhone 11 would free over a certain number of months. I didn't want to seem like an annoying customer so I politely just declined and left the store. A month later I received a bill from T-Mobile. He apparently never closed the account and I'm paying for a T-Mobile phone number I don't even have. I even got mail from a debt collector on their behalf. After hours on the phone and time to drive to their damn stores, I finally got the issue resolved for the most part. I still get a bill from them every now and then for $2.50 though, and I have no idea why. But yeah, I'm veering off topic now. I just wanted to air my grievances and why I hesitate to go with any major phone company now.
