Yes, you have recall rights. You may even get hired back on before your last day on payroll!

You are crazy, TMUS aka Sprint is a nasty hateful corporation. Moving on!
Why reapply? So we can be the Frontline first at the firing squad again?
No, sorry. TMob showed their true colors with this cold hearted layoff. "Do the right thing, always" has been proven to be a joke, a line beaten into our brains every month with the Integrity training, meant as a sort of brainwashing tool to keep the masses in place, creating the illusion that TMob CARES. We all know now it is just a big joke. I bet DK and MS are laughing.
T-Mobile was a place I willingly worked for below market pay because of the amazing culture Then the merger happened, the culture went to shir, and the pay still sucks. I'm done with T-Mobile.
we cannot have big impact to bring TMUS down, the only thing we can do is change our phone from T-Mobile to other carriers, let do step by step.
No interest in going back, got a good package and will run with it.
Tmo exec management with all that fake rah rah all hands BS, saying they employees are our most valuable resources then crapping on employees when it really matters while execs like MS glutinously line their pockets
What about option #3. You have 2 months to find another job internally, AND if you don’t, you get the severance.
Applying and moving onto a new role should also come with a very nice sign on bonus.
No offense OP, but this is probably the worst advice you can give.
First, there's barely any real reqs open right now. Most of them are placeholders as teams are trying to hold on to headcount. Or, they're not hiring (interviewing, yes, but hiring no), because they don't know wtf is going on with their orgs given the continued restructuring into March.
Second, in earlier rounds of layoffs, those impacted were given an option. #1. Take severance and leave, or #2. You have 2 months to find a new job internally (and we'll help you), but no severance. If #2 wasn't offered, it kinda means they don't want you back.
Third, depending on the role, you might need to relocate.
Fourth, as mentioned above, there will be continuous rounds of layoffs until March, across the entire company. There's a good chance you'd get laid off again.
Fifth, from an emotional perspective, who would want to work for a toxic company? You just going to have more emotional baggage, this time with a stigma. Whether you're a high performer or not, your colleagues will think "Wow, he/she got laid off, what's wrong with them" and "Ge-z, even after getting laid off he/she is coming back? They couldn't even get a job anywhere else? They might really stink."
It happened. It sucks now, but move on. There are hundreds of companies out there wanting to hire your talents. Who knows? It might be a good thing. I know many people who "saw the light", and started highly successful businesses after they got laid off.
Not a bad idea to reapply in order to bridge the time until moving companies though. Anyone who does go back should immediately start a search externally. This wave is not the last until likely 2024 when the merger debts could be paid off.
Why would people want to go back to that toxic company?
Nah. Who wants to work for Sprint 2.0 if they already cut you once. The türd that was T-Mobile is swirling the bowl.
Would we have service bridging rights?
