T-Mobile to pay off Verizon customer phones, no trade in required. $15 insurance req'd.

[dpham00]

T-Mobile is trying you get Verizon customers by allowing those on select devices like the pixel and iPhone to keep their phone and switch to T-Mobile One, although a $15 device protection plan is required.

Looks like the limit for de-prioritization is now 32 GB for T-Mobile. Nice .

Yeah, they did raise it. Wonder if Verizon would ever increase theirs.

But you have to pan an extra $5 a month to stream in full HD.

Wondering how long you have to stay a T-Mo customer for this to work? None of the fine print really addressed that.

60 days. I highlighted​ the fine print below.

I believe the 60-day limitation applies to the amount of time you've had to own the pixel. They don't want people running out and buying a pixel then coming in to get it paid off by T-Mobile.

I'm still trying to figure out how long I would have to keep the t-mobile service...assuming I don't like it of course.

If I can switch, collect $650, then switch back to Verizon within a month or two, that would be worth it to me.

Ah very true! That didn't even Dawn on me when I read it earlier today... Doh :x

Still won't leave Verizon, I tried Tmobile on a prepaid a few months ago, service still has far too many dead spots in MN. Since I'm on a family plan that won't switch, my bill would increase going on my own even if T-Mobile had good enough coverage anyway.

I use over 70Gb a month tethering on Verizon and haven't been throttled, if they deprioritized me I haven't been able to notice.

Yeah it will vary greatly from area to area.

I switched to T-Mobile in January from AT&T and it has been nothing but problems.they lied to me about how much they would reimburse me to switch. They lost our phones. Use caution.

Keep contacting them... Contact legere or contact state ag, bbb, or follow the dispute process in your T-Mobile customer agreement.

This sort of thing unfortunately happens on all carriers.

At this point I am waiting for the card. I have a tracking number and will keep an eye on it. This is worse than I ever had with Verizon or AT&T. Even all the reps agreed.

I've been hunting​ for this info myself as well. How long do I also have to keep the PDP? Can I buy another phone after x days and remove the PDP and still own the switched Verizon phone?

 

[gone down south]

Anyone try this out yet?

 

[jrvtecaccord]

I went ahead and completed the promo. Had 2 Pixel & 1 Pixel XL from Verizon, received my virtual card with $1513.00 several days ago. The whole process was pretty painless, it had a more difficult time trying to pay my balance off. Once your account is closed you have to access online bill pay by going to verizonwireless.com/paymybill, and since the balance due on the devices will be on next month's bill it will not allow my to pay the off now, will only allow you to pay over $500 from amount due.

I am not sure why T-mobile has/had this crazy offer, I now have paid off Pixel phones a cheaper bill with T-mobile (not bad coverage in DFW) and will have a cheaper bill once I move to At&T.

Great promo

I switched my Pixel XL on June 1, got a virtual card for $652 on the 15th, paid off my device, then switched back to Verizon on the 16th. I paid a $26 activation charge and $90 bill, so I netted $536. Truthfully I would have considered staying with them, but I played golf on Father's Day and had no coverage while on my favorite course. My SkyDroid GPS was useless, so that was it for T-Mob.
