Apple iPhone 16 series: get up to $1,000 off with a trade-in and unlimited plan at T-Mobile
T-Mobile's headline deal on the latest iPhone 16 series is a massive trade-in rebate of up to $1,000 - a rebate that's technically enough to cover the entire cost of the iPhone 16 Pro. To be eligible for the biggest discount here, you'll need a line on the Go5G Next plan, which is unfortunately the priciest plan of them all at T-Mobile. You can, however, get a rebate of up to $830 off on one of the cheaper plans, which is enough to cover the cost of the standard iPhone 16.

Apple iPhone 16e: free with a switch at T-Mobile

Apple iPhone 16e: free with a switch at T-Mobile
T-Mobile is offering a $630 rebate for new customers who port in a number at the carrier, which is enough to get the brand-new iPhone 16e free of charge. This particular deal is great if you can't simply trade in an old device for a discount. The iPhone 16e, while a budget-oriented device in the range, is still a superb phone with a top-notch chipset and new AI features. It's a great choice in conjunction with any T-Mobile plan.

Apple iPhone 15:$729 $100 with a switch at T-Mobile

Apple iPhone 15: $729 $100 with a switch at T-Mobile
Here's another option in a similar vein to the T-Mobile deal above on the iPhone 16e. If you're switching over, you can also get up to $630 off the iPhone 15 series, which again is a superb non-trade-in promotion to consider. The iPhone 15 is a little older than the 16e and doesn't feature the latest processor, but it is a more premium device. The design is more modern, and it also features a more flexible camera setup. It is a little pricier, however.

In the case of the popular Galaxy S25 series, the best deal available at the carrier right now is the maximum trade-in rebate of up to $1,000 on the high-end Go5G Next plan. As with this week's iPhone deals, the biggest discount here is tied to the most expensive plan, but you can also get $830 off with some of the mid-tier options, which is still enough to cover the cost of the standard Galaxy S25.

Google Pixel 9: free with a new line at T-Mobile

Unlike with some of this week's best T-Mobile deals, this particular promotion isn't tied to one of the higher-end plans specifically, so it's a good choice if you're on a budget.

This week's best T-Mobile deals: plans

T-Mobile unlimited plans: get third line free

T-Mobile unlimited plans: get third line free
T-Mobile's best plan deal is the carrier's most well-known. It is, of course, the 'third line free' promotion that's been a staple at the carrier for a few years now. Although single-line users won't find much joy here, families or those with multiple lines will be able to get their unlimited plans down to a minimum price of just $25/mo if they bundle four lines together on the Essentials plan.

Bring your own phone: get Essentials plan for $50/mo

Bring your own phone: get Essentials plan for $50/mo
A good option for single-line users, T-Mobile is currently offering a line on its entry-level Essentials unlimited plan for $50/mo when you switch over from another carrier. This equates to a $10/mo saving, so it's definitely worth considering, not least because the carrier will also gift you a virtual prepaid card of up to $800 in value to help pay off your phone at a rival network.

Eligibility for a discount includes those over 55 years of age, first responders, or active serving military and veterans. You can't stack these discounts, but the savings roughly equate to $10 to $20 per month, depending on how many lines you have, so it's definitey worth applying for if you meet the criteria.
