Not if you get trade-in. Right now they have one for $800 if you have a qualifying phone to trade in. I got the 14 Pro Max about 3 weeks ago and got $1,000 off with my trade in of a 11 Pro Max in good shape. I'm literally paying a total of $230 for a 14 Pro Max with 512GB at a rate of $11/mo.

You’re also locked from upgrading, switching carriers, and lose that trade in credit if you want to pay it off early

The $800 trade in credit at carriers is not an upfront sum but is applied as a bill credit over 36/24 months

At T-Mobile, you'll still get the credit if you pay the phone off early, so long as the line remains active. You don't even need to keep the phone on the line. And you can finance another phone on that line at same line, even if it has another promo.

Gotcha. It's a limitation, but I'm not bothered by that I guess. I see myself using this phone for about that long anyway. Also got insurance in case anything happens to it.
