‘Magenta MAX’ was for a long time T-Mobile’s ‘top tier. However, that changed recently with the arrival of the new ‘Go5G Plus’ plan.
From now on, the ‘Go5G Plus’ plan is the most feature-rich offer from T-Mobile. Normally, users who contract the most expensive plans also tend to get the best promos.
So, there are now multiple T-Mobile ‘Magenta MAX’ users concerned about a possible loss of the best trade-in promos, which could go to users of the new ‘Go5G Plus’ plan.
Will the new T-Mobile ‘Go5G Plus’ plan downgrade ‘Magenta MAX’ benefits?
The new tier is part of ‘Phone Freedom’, T-Mobile’s latest commercial move. First, you can check a summary of the ‘Go5G Plus’ plan prices and main benefits in the following image:
As mentioned earlier, carriers tend to reserve the best promos for users who sign up for their ‘top tier’ plans. These promos can include trade-in deals, benefits, discounts, etc.

Multiple clients feel that T-Mobile will begin offering the best trade-in promos only to those who sign up for ‘Go5G Plus’. That is, ‘Magenta MAX’ customers could face a ‘benefits downgrade’.

So it’s gonna be Go5G Plus, Magenta Max, Go5G, Magenta, and Essentials Savings?
I don’t understand why they are keeping Magenta and Magenta Max around? Does that mean potentially only Go5G will get the full device promos? No longer Magenta Max?

Some even see the new move as a ‘disguised price hike’ where people will have to pay more to get the best promos.
A user who already made the change to the new ‘Go5G Plus’ plan confirmed that all the deals accumulated over time are not lost.
I can confirm that all customers who switch to the Go5G Plus plan will keep all their deals. But only that plan.

It’s noteworthy that it has not yet been confirmed that T-Mobile ‘Magenta MAX’ customers will lose access to the best trade-in promos and deals. The discussion is based on similar background.
