Can anyone suggest/comment on any deals for cellphone plans or thoughts on T-Mobiles cost? (literature.cafe)

I know it’s a broad question, but I currently have T-Mobile and the price is alright but I have an iPhone 11 and looking to get a 16 Pro Max for myself and a 16 Pro. But, T-Mobile has mentioned it will mean an increase in my plan from $89 a month, for my current 2 iPhone 11’s and 2 Apple watches, to $180 monthly for 5G.

But, I’m getting older, so less deal savvy, not to mention aware of all the current cellphone carriers or what’s a deal these days… I would appreciate if anyone here could share their thoughts or recommendations on the matter. Seeing in the past, theres a large pool of wisdom hidden in here. TIA.

I think you might be right, I’ll buy the 16 Pro Max and move to Mint. I don’t really travel as much as before so most of the time I’m at home so this is a far more attractive option and just requires me to buy the 2 phones outright. As far as my watches, I’ll just pair them with my phones and loose the cellular option I guess. Did i understand correctly? T-Mobile is trying to hard sell their increase and I honestly don’t even need 5G if it isn’t forced lol.

I've not had any issues at all. Switched form T-Mobile 3 years ago. Though if you have coverage limits at home, you will probably still have those issues. I have a spot in my house that is pretty much just a dead zone, and it remained so after the switch. But yes, my watch connected via Bluetooth has no issues at all.
