I haven’t searched to see if there have been other posts regarding this T-Mobile BOGO offers that started this weekend. But I JUST GOT DONE doing it, and there alot more stuff that is going on.

Most importantly, this BOGO offer is offered if you start an Unlimited 55 plan. So, two phone lines that have T-mobile ONE unlimited talk/text/data, with the primary account-holder being over 55 year old, will be $60.

One of the phone lines must be a new line-activation. In this case, my father is the primary account holder and I had his T-mobile number cancelled just a few days ago. So his phone number is a new activation. I am the second phone line, and I had them transfer my number from AT&T.

And, the other thing I wanted to mention is that the BOGO is also for Samsung’s top phones. The Galaxy S8 and S8+, and the Note 8. And just this weekend, they added the Galaxy S8 Active, which was previous only an AT&T exclusive. The local store did not have any S8 Active units on hand, they said they would have it mailed to me, arriving on the 22nd. I ended up getting the Note 8 today, and the S8 Active will be sent to me. Both phones are valued at $820.00.

So, naturally it would have to qualify for their 0% finance plan, you would need to pay $100 down payment for those top tier phones (phones that cost less than $820 have lower down payments) and you also have to pay for the entire taxes for both phone units (a bit of a sting, there).

I believe, in total, I ended up paying about $366 to walk out of there with two activated SIMs, a Note 8, and a S8 Active being mailed to me this week. My phone plan is $60 + $10 because I decided to add ONE plus to my phone line to watch HD video, they were trying to sell me ONE plus on both phone lines for $80. Add another $30 a month for the Note 8, and I believe another $30 for the S8 Active. And after 6 to 8 weeks, when I fill out the rebate forms, I will get a $820 gift card, the full cost of the S8 Active, and I can go to the T-mobile store and pay off one entire phone, and even apply the remaining $100 from the gift card to the other phone.

And I’m thinking of keeping the Note 8, and am thinking of selling the S8 Active. But I don’t know if I should sell it during November/early Dec, or if I have to hold onto it until after I get my gift card. If I sell it, it could practically pay off my Note 8, and therefore just be left with paying for the phone service.
