Telecom giant T-Mobile entices customers with a tantalizing proposition: a complimentary Galaxy S25 as part of a new wireless plan offer - but what hidden costs may be lurking?
T-Mobile is currently offering exciting deals on the Samsung Galaxy S25, with the opportunity to get the phone for free under certain conditions. Here's a breakdown of the deals:
The Samsung Galaxy S25 can be obtained for free with a trade-in and new line activation on eligible data plans such as the Experience More or Experience Beyond plans. The deal uses promo credits applied over 24 months to effectively cover the full price of the phone.
Alternatively, for some offers, promo credits alone with a new line (without trade-in) can make the phone free. The Galaxy S25 Edge 512GB model can also be obtained free with a new line on Experience More or Experience Beyond plans, providing around $1,100 in promo credits over 24 months.
Trade-in discounts of up to $1,000 are available depending on your plan and device traded in, which, when combined with new line activation, maximize savings.
To get the phone for free, follow these steps:
- Trade in an eligible old phone (Samsung, Apple, Google models generally accepted, check T-Mobile's trade-in list for specifics).
- Add a new line on a qualifying unlimited plan like Experience More or Experience Beyond.
- Keep the plan active for 24 months to receive the full bill credits that cover the phone cost.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 is a flagship phone with a 6.2-inch display, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. It comes with 12GB of RAM and offers seven years of guaranteed OS/security updates. The phone lacks UWB (ultra-wideband) support but features all the latest Galaxy AI software features.
The offer applies to the 128GB model of the Samsung Galaxy S25, and the savings of $800 are spread over 24 months with the eligible line offer. The wired charging speed of the Galaxy S25 is 25W. Despite a few minor complaints, the Samsung Galaxy S25 is an all-around solid flagship phone.
If the current deal doesn't work, there are other T-Mobile deals available with trade-in opportunities and free phones. So, if you're in the market for a new phone, consider T-Mobile's current offers on the Samsung Galaxy S25.
