   I called T-Mobile's 800 number and the guy (Adam) didn't know anything so   
   he transferred me to technical support, of all things, and they knew stuff.   
      
   Haley, in technical support, said that I had 7000 credits (whatever that   
   means) and that this is a lot so that unlocks promotions (supposedly).   
      
   [In another call I asked, where it seems to be that T-Mobile's internal   
   "credits" system is basically a loyalty/tenure + account-health score that   
   unlocks better promos, where they said 7000 is high. It's not something   
   they advertise openly, but reps see it on their side.]   
      
   For free, with the normal t-mo 24-month depreciation table, are 7 phones:   
    1. TCL Flip 5G (aux, 5G, 2GB, 16GB)   
    2. Revvl 7 5G (~5AH, 5G, 4GB, 128GB)   
    3. Revvl 7 Pro (~5AH, 5G, 6GB, 128GB)   
    4. Revvl 8 (~5AH, 5G, 6GB, 128GB)   
    5. Revvl 8 Pro (~5AH, 5G, wireless charging, 6GB, 128GB)   
    6. Moto G 2025 (sd, aux, ~5AH, 5G, 4GB, 128GB)   
    7. Motorola Edge 2024 (5G, wireless charging, 8GB, 256GB)   
      
   Each of these requires a "junk trade" of any phone whatsoever in any   
   condition, which is similar to how I got my handful of Galaxy A32-5G's.   
      
   Lots more opens up if I want to pay a bit, e.g.,   
      
   A35 128GB with $150 tradein on my A32-5G is $12.50/month ($300) + tax.   
   A36 128GB with $150 tradein on my A32-5G is $16.67/month ($400) + tax.   
      
   Since very few phones in this offering have sd cards, looking at Google:   
   Pixel 9A 128GB with $250 tradein on my A32-5G is $3/month ($75) + tax.   
   Pixel 9A 256GB with $250 tradein on my A32-5G is $11/month ($265) + tax.   
      
   There were others, but that seems to be the majors (Galaxy/Pixel).   
   What do you think of those offerings?
