Best T-Mobile phone deals
Many of T-Mobile’s phone deals are available to new and existing customers, although trade-ins are often required to get the advertised prices. Keep in mind the deals are split across 24 months of bill credits, meaning you must remain a T-Mobile customer for at least two years for the phone to be paid off, as the terms state. If you cancel before that period is over, you’ll be responsible for any remaining charges.

T-Mobile FAQs
Are T-Mobile deals only available to new customers?
Up until recently, T-Mobile heavily favored new customers with its best deals, leaving existing customers behind. That’s changed; now most of the offers are available for new and existing customers under the same terms. Just note that select offers will require the activation of a new line of service.
How do T-Mobile’s discounts work?
It’s easy to see up to $1,000 off the price of something and get excited but you’ll want to make sure you know what you’re signing up for. T-Mobile applies these discounts as bill credits that are usually spread across 24 months. Sometimes, part of the discount amount is given in the form of a prepaid gift card (for a trade-in), and the rest is done as bill credits, but that’s specified when it’s happening.
What happens if you leave T-Mobile before the 24 months are up?
If you don’t stick with T-Mobile through the full 24 months of bill credits, you’ll be responsible for all the remaining charges. Before canceling or transferring your service to another carrier, be sure to reach out to T-Mobile to determine what you’ll actually owe, ensuring you can cover that before making the move.
