T-Mobile Offers Free $1,099.99 Galaxy S26+ With New Line or Trade-In

2 articles · Updated · Mashable · Jun 30

Summary

  • June 30 brings a T-Mobile promotion that makes Samsung’s Galaxy S26+ free through 24 monthly bill credits, rather than an upfront $0 purchase.
  • The offer applies when customers add a new line or trade in an eligible phone on Experience More or Experience Beyond plans, and existing Go5G Next or Go5G users also qualify.
  • Customers still must cover taxes and a $35 device connection charge to complete the deal, whether they sign up online or in stores.
  • The promotion effectively waives the cost of a phone normally priced at $1,099.99, using carrier-plan commitments and trade-ins to offset the device price.
