Why we love T-Mobile’s Cyber Monday deal
If your phone plan contract is coming to an end, Cyber Monday is the perfect time to switch service providers, as many are offering their best prices of the year. T-Mobile’s Cyber Monday deal is a standout, giving shoppers one of the first chances to get the latest iPhones, Samsung Galaxy devices, and smartwatches for free.
The deals keep getting better, too. While the sale was previously limited to bulk plan purchases earlier this month, newcomers can now get a free Apple or Samsung bundle via 24 monthly billing credits when they trade in an eligible device on the Experience Beyond Plan. The freebies include the new iPhone 17 Pro, iPad A16, and Apple Watch SE for Apple customers, or a Galaxy Z Flip 7, Galaxy Tab S10 FE, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and Galaxy Buds 3 FE for Samsung shoppers.
The terms and conditions can get confusing, so we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know about T-Mobile’s Cyber Monday bundle deal below.

How to get the T-Mobile Cyber Monday deal
If you’re hoping to score a free device bundle from T-Mobile, you’ll need an eligible phone trade-in. Luckily, the condition doesn’t matter to them, so long as you have a qualifying device. Here are the steps to follow:
- Visit the iPhone 17 Pro or Samsung Galaxy Z Flip page on T-Mobile’s website.
- Select your preferences, including color, storage options, and delivery method.
- Sign in to your existing T-Mobile account or select the “New customer” option.
- For new customers, choose between keeping your current phone number or getting a new one.
- Choose to get a trade-in estimate and enter your old phone’s IMEI number to check eligibility.
- Skip or add accessories, then select a T-Mobile Experience Beyond plan to qualify.
If you happen to be shopping for new phones across your family, or just prefer a different promotion, you can also kick off T-Mobile’s other Cyber Monday deals by heading to their appropriate landing pages.
Why you’ll love it
Getting a free phone is hard to beat. But T-Mobile’s Cyber Monday deals can help you upgrade your entire lineup of devices for free, featuring the latest Apple and Samsung phone, tablet, and smartwatch technology in the promotion. The brand’s Experience Beyond plan also offers the most bells and whistles for top-tier support, including unlimited mobile hot spot, unlimited data, and free streaming service subscriptions to Apple TV Plus, Hulu, and Netflix Standard.
Be aware that the devices aren’t paid off up front, though, but rather over the course of 24 monthly billing credits. If you’ve never dabbled in this type of deal, it means that you’ll still be billed monthly for the devices, but you’ll receive the same amount as credit off your phone bill. It does lock you into a two-year contract with T-Mobile, but that’s still less of a commitment compared to other carriers, such as Verizon and AT&T, which typically offer 36-month contracts. It’s certainly a small price to pay for an upgrade to the latest tech.
