T-Mobile offering free phones to switch, steep discounts for current customers
July 21, 2025
If you didn’t get the phone you wanted over the holiday season,T-Mobileis offering agreat dealto both new and current customers. It is back with another BOGO deal, but that’s not all. It’s also offering discounts on devices, regardless of whether you pick up a second device or not.
Starting Friday, you may walk into aT-Mobilestore and get $150 off a flagship phone. All you have to do is trade in adevice(you get the value of that device too) and you can save $150 on theSamsung Galaxy S8, S8 Plus,S8 Active,Note 8,LG G6,V30, or V30 Plus. The cheapest of those devices, the LG G6, is available for only $500. With a decent trade-in and the $150 in bonus cash, you could be paying only a few dollars a month for the device.
The second part of T-Mobile’s promotion is the BOGO deal. T-Mobile seems to run these quite a bit to entice people to switch over from another carrier. The carrier is offering 12 different flagship smartphones fromSamsung,LG, andApplefor free when you buy another. All you have to do is port in a number, trade in a qualifying smartphone, and buy a phone on an installment plan. You will then receive the money for the device in the form of a mail-in rebate.
There are a couple of caveats here. T-Mobile is offering a free Samsung Galaxy S8, LG G6, LG V30, or LG V30 Plus under the BOGO promotion. But, if you opt for a Galaxy S8 Plus, S8 Active, or Note 8, you get up to $750 back. Since those devices cost more than $750, you’ll be on the hook for the rest.
All three of these deals can be combined on one account (business accounts too), but not on the same line. As a reminder, when you finance a phone from T-Mobile, you’re on the hook for sales tax at the time of purchase. Additionally, some devices may require a down payment like $230 required to pick up the Galaxy Note 8.
