I had been using AT&T Next (0% interest financing) and it was easy enough, never requiring a credit check beyond the one a decade ago.
Switching to T-Mobile was very easy in store. They did run my credit as I was getting 4 new iPhones and pulled TU here in the Midwest. As I was researching T-Mobile they stated that 50% of their customers don't meet the credit standards to get their best deal (meaning a larger down payment).
The sales guys had a big smile on his face after the credit pull and said 'Sir, you can get up to 12 lines today'. I thanked him and said 4 was plenty.
T-Mobile does not let you finance 100% of the iPhone cost like the AT&T NEXT plan and you have to pay sales tax and activation at the time of purchase (similar to AT&T). All told to get 4 iPhone Xs out the door the cost was $1,613.56 (Down payment, tax and activation). Each phone is financed at $30 a month allowing me to trade in for a new phone at 12 months or own it after 24months. Since I traded in my phones, they used that credit to reduce the amount I had to pay.
when i switched earlier this year to Tmobile they pulled my creidt as well. I think thats pretty standard practice when you switch. Did they charge you 300 downpayment for each iphone x ?

ahhh i see i just upgraded to iphone x a month and half ago and was 300 was just wondering about new accounts if they give you a better deal. Which plan did you end up going with the 160 for 4 line plan ? I also switched from att i was paying more for two lines 4 gb then i am now for unlimited plus the two leased lines. BTW when I switched earlier in the year they gave you a MC gift card for each line you switched do they still have that offer it could help a little
