T-Mobile Offers Free iPhone 17e and Galaxy S26 After U.S. Cellular Purchase

Following its recent purchase of U.S. Cellular, T-Mobile launched major iPhone and Samsung deals to attract new customers. Shoppers can get an iPhone 17e or Samsung Galaxy S26 included with the Experience More plan, plus save hundreds on upgraded models when they meet certain requirements.

T-Mobile is offering the iPhone 17e when customers switch carriers and bring their number. No trade-in is required. The deal runs through July 1.

Shoppers who want to upgrade to the iPhone 17 Pro can trade in an eligible device, even one that no longer works, for up to $1,100 in savings.

Customers with an older phone that still works can bring the device to T-Mobile and get up to $800 to help pay off the remaining balance. They must sign up for the Essentials Saver plan starting at $50 per month with autopay. T-Mobile will send a virtual prepaid Mastercard to cover the final device payment. The offer applies to up to four lines.

Shoppers who prefer Samsung devices can get a free Galaxy S26 by adding a line to T-Mobile's Experience More plan, which starts at $140 per month with autopay for three lines. Customers still pay taxes, but the deal saves more than $1,000.

T-Mobile is also offering additional Galaxy S26 deals. Customers can get up to $900 off the Galaxy S26+ when they trade in an eligible device and join the Experience More or Go5G Plus plans. Adding a line to the Experience More plan also brings $400 off the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
