I'd like to switch all my family's phones from Verizon to T-Mobile Unlimited Plan for 4 lines: 3 x iPhone 7 and 1 x Pixel 2.

All the phones have been paid off but the Pixel 2 that is on Verizon Monthly Payment Plan.

I got this Pixel 2 in December 2017, Verizon told me that if I want to switch to T-Mobile, I need to pay totally $656.04 as of April 7th 2018.

My questions are:

1) If I switch to T-mobile, do I have to pay this $656.04 back to T-mobile

2) Do I have to pay $10 for ONE PLUS if all my phones are with Unlimited Plan?

3) Finally, Do I just pay $140 per month for 4 lines?

I just want my switching smoothly. Thank all of you for your concern and your answers.

Here is the current document covering this promo: #GetOutoftheRed
1) My understanding is no. you don't have to repay T-Mobile for their reimbursement for the Pixel 2.
2) According to the document I cited above, yes.
3) It looks to me like it's $140+(4x$10) or $180, unless you want device protection (which I don't advise). On the T-Mobile ONE plans, T-Mobile absorbs the taxes & fees.

You have to have been making payments on any phone for 90 days. You have to pay Verizon for the Pixel 2. T-Mobile will reimburse you for the pay-off. They don't pay Verizon anything. (A lot of people are confused about this.) You might be able to just port the 3 iPhones over to a T-Mobile ONE plan, without the PLUS option and use GetOutOfTheRed for only the Pixel (not sure). Keep in mind that you probably need to do the porting near the end of your Verizon billing cycle. Verizon will probably not prorate months for port-outs. You don't want to pay a full month's bill for just a few days.
