I got a free handset with 5GB 4G data allowance and unlimited texts/calls for £31/month out of them a couple of months ago which was less than I was already paying for a smaller allowance so I'm happy enough.
I believe it all depends if they're on a push to retain customers or not when you try to upgrade. Get some prices from other networks and ask them to match. If they won't, then ask to leave. You might be put through to the retentions department, who can offer better deals than the regular upgrade team.

You don't have to actually use your PAC code. Someone from retentions might call you in the next couple of days. If not, call and say you changed your mind about leaving or just go to a different network if you can get a better deal.

They probably will call you. Honestly, I get fed up with having to dance around with them and threatening to leave every upgrade, just to get a decent deal when I've been a customer since even before they were T-Mobile. You would think loyalty would be rewarded, but they always give better deals to new customers.
Good luck.

O2, unlimited calls and texts, 3gb data a month. £36, £0 up front. That was the lowest tariff in the uk at the time of my upgrade. Upgraded through carphone warehouse by phone. Really easy. Good coverage. Lots of bonuses via o2 more etc.. Honestly can't fault the service, but the phone.. Different story.
I wish I stole my HTC M9. It's a pile of ****.

Go to carphone mate, they'll have all the deals and the phones will be unlocked, if the deals aren't good enough and you really want to stick with EE then it'll be a case of going back to EE and bluffing.
EE is a bit pricey but I really don't mind as when it comes to customer service they've always been good with me, Orange were the best in the past, apparently o2 have good CS skills.
If that's not an issue, just get a virgin sim, 15 quid a month, think it's unlimited everything, not 4G though. They also use the same network as EE.

Probably won't but any more phones from Verizon for fear of losing our grandfather status. Read somewhere that we will get one round of device upgrades before we are forced onto a tiered plan. Can anyone confirm this?

I beg to differ on this statement. I have both Euro S3 and ATT S3, the only advantage of the ATT is the LTE. Aside from that the Euro is hands down better in every aspect.
Unsubsidized pricing is NOT that bad, the huge benefit to this is you are not tied to busted ass ATT for 2 years and are able to leave them at any moment.
And with my Euro I have gotten more than my monies worth. The only reason I have the ATT one is because I got a steal on it and I couldn't pass it up. But it honestly just sits on my couch most of the time.
And if you are not in a contract buying an unsubsidised unlocked phone actually saves you money rather than signing a contract with a carrier. My folks pay $100+ for what I get for $45 month. If you do the math, you pay full price 10 times over buying a subsidized phone.

That correct, on At&T the plans are not connected to the device, you only get a break on the price on the device if you agreed to keep your account for 24 months, what phone you have or what plan you have during that period doesn't change or affect the contact.
Correct but if you get a subsidized phone you signed a contract.. carriers plans are more than the prepaid or postpaid plans that offer the same benefits.. its a known fact that carriers get you in the door by offering phones subsidized while offering higher rates than prepaid but if you do the math buying the phone outright you save more money (a LOT MORE) going with Straight Talk over AT&T and essentially get the same service.

Well if your going with one of the most costly carriers buying the us version from at&t over the unlocked version saves you 20% the cost of the phone + a 2 year plan. Obviously you would save money from using the unlocked version on a crappy carrier / plan without LTE..

we pay $10 per line line plus $30 for unlimited data and $20 total text unlimited text on 4 lines. granted it is grandfathered, so it is 100% with it for us to stay on our plan.
straight talk limits your data to 2gb and they don't offer LTE. i also have yet to see anything indicating they will or could. to each his own, though.

Nobody said the classic subsidized plans were eliminated completely. Walmart, Costco, Amazon, Best Buy and other retailers who carry Tmobile phone still have the old plans because retailers get a cut when they lock in customers for two years. But at Tmobile corporate stores and online at tmobile.com, only the new plans are offered. Tmobile is all about choice, which you don't have at Att, Verizon, or Sprint

They didnt get rid of contracts, they just now offer no contract plans.
I got the GS4 no contract and the monthly payment is $50 unlimited everything and $20 if you dont want them to slow down 4G after 500MB/month.
comes out to $70, next line would be $50 and every line after would be $30.
Comes out cheaper than that $79

Because the price without contract is actually better than with contract. Let me crunch the numbers -
With Contract from Costco: $200 for Galaxy S4 + $80/month for unlimited talk/text/2.5GB web = $2,120 over the 2 year contact
Without Contract from T-Mobile.com: $630 for Galaxy S4 + $60/month for unlimited talk/text/2.5GB web = $ 2070 over 2 years period
The economics are even better if you bring a $300 Nexus 4 instead of purchasing a Galaxy S4. And if you are in a family plan, you're talking about over a thousand dollar in savings across multiple lines. BUT the biggest benefit is that after 2 years, you will pay $60/mo off contract no matter which phone you use, whereas under contract you'll still pay $80/mo long after you've technically paid off the subsidy.

Because you pay less when you bring your own phone. If you want contract there is the eip plan where you pay $20 more per month. On other carriers there is no option like this. Bottom line you pay only for service not for the device. In other carriers even if you bring your own device you still pay the same price as others with contract.

Because you dont want to be locked down to one phone for two years. You can pay your first phone off and get another phone. Lets say if there is another nice phone comes out 8 months from now, like the S5. If you have a two year contract, you cant do this.

T-Mobile to let US customers swap phones twice a year
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/07/10/tmobile_jump_phone_swap_plan/
They're really trying hard to attract customers. This is a serious hook, that's for sure.
True...but do the math. It will definitely draw people to T-Mobile, but they are just throwing away money. You are better off buying the device upfront than selling it yourself after 6 months instead of the 'JUMP' deal. If you upgrade after a year, you have just spent 150 for a phone, 240 for the monthly installments, and 120 for jump...that's 510 to lease a phone for the year. You probably could have purchased that same phone for 600 originally. I'm guessing you could have sold it for more than 90 dollars at the end of the first year.
Plus that includes insurance, so may be worth it for people that are willing to pony up for that anyway. T-Mobile is starting to look awfully tempting especially after the new sprint plan details that leaked recently.

On T-Mobile, I am interested to see what amount of $$ they'll give you when you want to trade in for a newer model. Sprint's current trade in is horribly in inadequate.

They pay your ETF, there service is only getting better and stronger since they bought spectrum from Verizon, tons of roms with very easy root methods(one doesn't even trigger knox if you don't care about flashing roms and kernels) but yes tons and tons of custom rom and kernel options over here on T-Mobile.
You guys do have Beanstown(love his jellybeans rom to death) scrosler(cleanrom) hashcode(insanely smart dev that helped create safestrap(or he did it all by himself apologies if I'm wrong) that I'm sure you'll miss but there's still ways to flash your carriers rom as well as the international n9005 roms with the wifi nfc blue tooth. Zip fix.
I really did my research when considering which carrier I got my note 3 from, hated sprints network on the note2,verizon was too expensive and locked down bootloader unless you bought the dev edition which cost more too, then att was no better with its subpar service and locked down bootloader. To hell with all them!!!,
T-Mobile has always been my favorite cell phone provider and their service has always been great(love their free wifi calling) there always doing their best to throw out great deals to get you to join. I still prefer and always will just buy my phone exchange outright and pay anywhere from 30 dollars a month for unlimited data, text and 100 minutes anytime talk, or if I'm needing it just pay the measly extra 20 for unlimited talk text data and 4g Lte.
