T-Mobile Offers Free iPhone 17 and 17 Pro on 24-Month Plans

3 articles · Updated · Mashable · Jul 18

Summary

  • $0 iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro promotions are running this weekend at T-Mobile, with the standard model tied to a trade-in and the Pro available to switchers who bring their number.
  • The iPhone 17 requires an eligible trade-in on an Experience More or Experience Beyond plan, while the iPhone 17 Pro requires a new line on the Experience Beyond plan and no trade-in.
  • The giveaway is structured through 24 monthly bill credits rather than an upfront discount, locking customers into a 24-month financing commitment.
  • Customers still must pay upfront taxes and a $35 activation fee, and anyone who cancels, switches carriers or upgrades early must immediately pay the remaining phone balance.
  • T-Mobile is pushing the offer as Samsung builds attention ahead of its July 22 Unpacked event, aiming to keep Apple buyers engaged.
