T-Mobile offers free iPhones with a plan switch or trade-in

T-Mobile is offering several iPhones for free, but the best deals need specific plans, and taxes plus a $35 fee still apply on every one.

T-Mobile is offering several Apple iPhones for free right now, according to Mashable. The simplest deal is the iPhone 17e, which is free when you switch to almost any T-Mobile plan. No trade-in is needed. Switching means moving your service over from another carrier.

The deals

  • iPhone 17e: free when you switch to almost any plan, no trade-in.
  • iPhone 17: free with a good-condition eligible trade-in on Experience More or Experience Beyond.
  • iPhone 17 Pro: free with an eligible trade-in in any condition on Experience Beyond.
  • iPhone 18 Pro: free if you switch, bring your number and pick Experience Beyond.
  • iPhone 18 Pro Max and iPhone Duo: $1,200 off, not free, on Experience Beyond.

What to check

Free covers the phone, not everything else. T-Mobile charges taxes on these deals and a $35 device connection fee. Most of the top offers also require the Experience Beyond plan, so the plan matters as much as the phone.

The material does not say what the plans cost, how long the offers last, or which older phones count as eligible trade-ins. Those details are worth confirming with T-Mobile before you switch.

The takeaway

Before you switch for a free iPhone, confirm the required plan and add up the taxes and the $35 fee, since free may not mean zero cost.
