Re: the joke is

And that line access fee is the key.

I have the older 15gb @$100 but my line fees(we have 3 lines) are $15 per. So changing to the new plan of 16gb for $90 seems good but now the line fees go from $15 to $20 per(if it stays at that with these new plans... that remains to be seen), so it would cost me $5 more. Granted it offers an extra gig and no overages, so it might be worth it for me at just 3 lines.

HOWEVER, if you have more than 3 lines, continue add an additional $5 per line and it's not so good.

I have the same plan as you, but I also get a 20% discount off that data. That's why I never switched to the new plan because the of the $20 access fee made the 12 GB plan more expensive. The new 16 GB would be even more than that and it's not worth the extra cost for 1 extra GB. Now if they lowered the access fees down to $15 or $16 per line I'm switching.

Bad news it's still $20. No way I switch even if it miss out on carryover and safety zone.

Currently have 15 GB for $100-20% discount so really $80 plus 4 lines at $15 each. So $140 total.

New L plan is $70-20% so $56 plus 4 lines at $20 each for a total of $136. But only get 8 GB which is normally fine most months, but would still require safety mode which is another $5 so a total of $141. Or $1 more for 7 GB less.

New XL plan is 16 GB at $90-20% or $72 plus $80 line access fees so $152. So $12 more for only 1 extra GB. Not worth it. If they had kept XL at $80 but still gave 16 GB I might have switched. 1 extra GB and the other perks might have been worth the $4.

Largest plan that saves money is the 4 GB plan which saves $15 a month but $15 a month is not worth the loss of 11 GB.

By the time my device is paid off T-Mobile will have their band 12 deployed here. I suggest Verizon have something more competitive by then.
