Score a free Apple iPhone 17 right now with T-Mobile - how to qualify for this wild offer

T-Mobile is rolling out a tempting offer: new subscribers can snag up to four iPhone 17s for free, along with four lines on their Essentials unlimited plan at $25 per line (totaling $100 monthly). This deal requires switching to T-Mobile and trading in eligible devices.

Looking to gift an iPhone or treat yourself to an upgrade this holiday season? T-Mobile's promotion could land you a complimentary iPhone 17. While no trade-in is technically needed, some requirements apply to qualify.

By porting your number and activating a new line on T-Mobile's Experience Beyond plan, you can receive an Apple iPhone 17 at no cost, saving you $830. This considerable sum could be better spent during the holidays.

The Experience Beyond plan from T-Mobile costs $100 monthly for a single line. This price is locked in for five years and includes perks such as Hulu, Netflix, unlimited mobile hotspot, full-flight texting, and WiFi with streaming. Although the iPhone 17 isn't truly "free," this promotion adds significant value if you're considering a premium plan.

To take advantage of this offer, you'll need to pay the sales tax on the full retail price of the iPhone 17 upfront, along with a $35 device connection fee and your first month's payment. The phone's cost will then be credited back to your account over 24 months. AutoPay enrollment, number transfer from a qualifying carrier, and a new line activation are also necessary. While there are stipulations, the iPhone 17 may be worth the effort.
