T-Mobile Offers Former UScellular Users Up to $830 Off Phones as 4 Million Customers Shift
6 articles · Updated · TmoNews · May 9
T-Mobile has launched device promotions exclusively for former UScellular customers, with discounts of up to $830 on smartphones, $500 on tablets and $264 on hotspots.
The offers are designed to speed migration onto T-Mobile plans after its August 2025 acquisition of UScellular’s wireless operations; eligible phone buyers must trade in a UScellular device incompatible with T-Mobile’s network and take a $50 monthly voice plan with AutoPay.
Each promotion can be used once per account, the usual $35 device connection fee is waived, and savings are delivered as bill credits over 24 months.
The push follows T-Mobile’s integration of UScellular’s network after a deal that added 4 million customers and about 30% of UScellular’s spectrum.
UScellular plans are being grandfathered for now, with T-Mobile saying monthly costs and benefits will not change immediately, but customers are expected to move fully onto T-Mobile systems later this year.
While T-Mobile woos new users with big deals, are its loyal customers being quietly left behind with fewer perks?
Beyond phone deals, is T-Mobile’s latest acquisition its final move to conquer America's rural 5G network?
T-Mobile is gaining 4 million customers but will stop reporting growth. What is the company trying to hide?
