T-Mobile just launched its best iPhone 16 offer ever
If you want to upgrade to the iPhone 16 Pro, T-Mobile just launched one of its best deals ever, one that will convince you to switch providers. Right now, there are several different ways you can get an iPhone 16 Pro for free when you switch to T-Mobile and sign up for a new Experience Beyond plan. There are no trade-in gimmicks here, just a free iPhone 16 Pro paired with a stacked and versatile phone plan. Even T-Mobile calls this its 'best iPhone offer ever,' and we can't disagree. How to get an iPhone 16 Pro on T-Mobile So how does this iPhone 16 offer work? Let's assume you have a phone already. If you're still paying it off, T-Mobile will pay the balance for you, up to $800 a line, up to four lines. The best part: You get to keep the phone. This isn't a trade-in offer. Get a new iPhone, pay off your balance, and keep the phone. It's a sweet deal. T-Mobile pays off your phone via prepaid MasterCard credits over 24 months. If you don't have a balance to pay off, or even a phone at all, T-Mobile will still give you an iPhone 16 Pro for free when you switch to T-Mobile and opt for the Experience Beyond plan. What is T-Mobile Experience Beyond? For this offer to work, you need to switch to T-Mobile and add a new line. That makes this a good option for families, which is what Experience Beyond is designed for. T-Mobile Experience Beyond gets you unlimited data in the US and a ton of benefits, including unlimited premium data, 60GB of high speed hotspot data per month, texting and data outside the US, and even some free streaming subscriptions. You'll save at least 20% when you switch from an AT&T or Verizon plan, and your new rate will be locked in for five years. You can use T-Mobile's savings calculator to see exactly how much you'll save. The first big bonus is the ability to upgrade devices. Your devices are all guaranteed to be eligible for an upgrade every year. New iPhones come out quickly, so this is a good way to stay at the cutting edge. The T-Mobile Experience Beyond plan also gets you a ton of data. Unlimited in North America, 30GB per month in Mexico and Canada, 250GB of high speed hotspot data per month, and even access to T-Mobile's beta satellite program, T-Satellite. You and your family will be connected anywhere and anytime. The Experience Beyond plan costs $170 per month for three lines (including the third line for free). When you sign up you get a five year price guarantee, so you don't have to worry about your bill mysteriously increasing after a few months. If you've been eyeing the iPhone 16 Pro, switching to T-Mobile is a great way to get one without paying anything extra. In fact, T-Mobile is covering the balance of your old phone, and letting you keep it too. Check out T-Mobile's iPhone 16 Pro offer on the Experience Beyond plan today.

Thinking of leaving T-Mobile? Here's one bill-lowering trick to try first
Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Reports suggest that some T-Mobile customers threatening to cancel are getting better-than-usual retention offers. The reported discounts range from $10 to $20 off per month for six months. There's no official policy change, but recent price hikes may be prompting T-Mobile to act. One of the most longstanding pieces of kitchen-table wisdom is that you can usually get a better deal on a subscription service if you threaten to cancel. It's not always true, of course, and a bit of a gamble if you don't actually want to quit the service. That said, if you're on the fence about switching from T-Mobile, now might be the time to see what your account is worth to them. According to Phone Arena, some T-Mobile customers who say they want to cancel are being offered surprisingly generous retention deals — better than what the carrier has offered in the past. The outlet cites a trusted source who previously leaked T-Mobile's price hike plans in advance, and they've shared a screenshot of a customer support chat showing one of these offers in action. In the case shown, a user who threatened to cancel several lines was given $10 off per month for six months, with a further $10 one-time credit bringing the savings to $70 in total. It's not a life-changing amount, but significantly more than T-Mobile's usual attempts to keep customers on board. Previously, most retention credits were said to only last two or three months. There are other anecdotal reports that some are being offered $20 per month off for up to six months. There's no official confirmation that T-Mobile has changed its retention strategy, and offers may depend on your account and plan. It's certainly plausible that the carrier is doing more to hold on to subscribers, likely in response to recent customer dissatisfaction with other aspects of the service, such as the recent price hikes. These are just reports, and you should be careful of taking this approach if you're keen to stick with T-Mobile anyway. There's always the risk that your bluff is called and you're left with no service plan. That said, if you're planning to cancel but may reconsider based on a cheaper rate, it can't hurt to ask.

Long-time T-Mobile users are finding out their loyalty doesn't always pay
T-Mobile is once again handing out free lines to select customers, but just like in the past, not everyone is walking away happy. This new deal is aimed at long-time subscribers – specifically those who've been with the carrier for at least five years and meet some specific conditions. But here's the thing: these free line promos almost always stir up confusion and frustration. Remember when just recently T-Mobile gave out free lines to make up for its last round of price hikes – and some folks found out the hard way those lines weren't really free? Yeah, that. Right now, things seem to be going smoother. However, already, some users are finding themselves left out, even after being loyal to T-Mobile for years. Turns out, the fine print on this deal runs deeper than expected. At first glance, here's what we thought the requirements were: You've had your account for 5+ years You don't already have more than one free line You have to bring your own device – no financing You haven't canceled a voice line in the last 90 days You can't be using an Insider Discount, Works Perk, or Hometown Discount But that is just scratching the surface. Apparently, there are even more exclusions. If you are on a promotional plan, segmented or single-line plans, Essentials Saver or anything similar – you are out. And the offer doesn't stack with many other promos, device offers or T-Mobile 's Price Lock. Also, adding this free line will strip certain perks from that line, including Go5G Plus, Go5G Next, Experience More and Experience Beyond features. – FitTerminator, Reddit, May 2025 As you can see, this user's discounted plan wasn't eligible for the promotion, despite being with the Un-carrier for years. And they are not alone – others have shared similar experiences. – FitTerminator, Reddit, May 2025 So, if you are on a discounted plan like Magenta 55+ or a military plan, you are pretty much out of luck when it comes to scoring a free line. – avg510, Reddit, May 2025 That said, of course, not everyone is upset. Many folks are getting the free line without a hitch and putting it to good use. After all, T-Mobile's users have always been good at using these free lines to make their plans a bit more customizable. Still, I've got a feeling we are going to start hearing more complaints once the bills start rolling in. T-Mobile says it can take up to two billing cycles for the credits to show up and if you cancel a line or switch plans, those credits stop. So don't be surprised if you see a charge up front. Not ideal, but it should get fixed later (probably the next month). However, if you didn't get a direct invite – like a text, email or a pop-up in the T-Life app – and had to call in to request the free line yourself, tread carefully. For example, not long ago, one user said they confirmed with two different reps that they qualified for a free line, but when the bill showed up, the line wasn't free. After a third call, they were suddenly told they never qualified in the first place. So yeah – definitely double-check everything and maybe even get it in writing.
