T-Mobile's Cyber Monday Deals Are Almost Over: Get a New Phone Free With a Trade-In or New Line
T-Mobile is still discounting new phones, tablets and more as its Cyber Monday sale ends -- but not for much longer.
Cyber Monday may have ended but Cyber Week is still a fantastic time to score a tech upgrade for yourself or gifts for your loved ones, including massive discounts on the best T-Mobile phones. If you're an existing T-Mobile customer or looking to switch to one of T-Mobile's plans, you'll need to act fast, because these offers for free or reduced phones won't last much longer.
It's possible to find unlocked phones on sale at retailers like Amazon and Walmart, but shopping at a major carrier like T-Mobile or Verizon will guarantee you find the season's absolute best offers, not to mention the best compatibility with your carrier. This is especially true of trade-in deals, because carriers consistently give exponentially better trade-in values on phones that are two to four years old compared with retailers or secondhand markets. You'll have to trade in an old device or activate a new line, but you can't beat free flagship phones or smartwatches.

If you're picking up new phones for the whole family this holiday season, T-Mobile has an offer you definitely won't want to miss.

Nearly all of Google's new Pixel 9 lineup earned a spot on our list of the best phones of 2024, and T-Mobile is offering some serious savings on all four models at the moment.

With these offers, you'll get the basic Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro or Pixel 9 Pro XL for free. You'll get the full discount when you trade in a more recent phone, and even older models will still net you $500 off.
If you're on a Go5G, Magenta or One plan, you can still save $600 when activating a new line, or up to $500 with an eligible trade-in. It's also worth noting that T-Mobile has knocked $200 off the starting price of the 9 Pro XL.
Samsung's Galaxy S24 phones are among our absolute favorites for Android users, and you can snag them for a lot less right now at T-Mobile.

Those on a Go5G, Magenta or One plan will get $600 off for a new line, and up to $300 off for eligible trade-ins. Those on other service plans can still save up to $200 via trade-in. T-Mobile also has a buy-one-get-one-free offer on the Galaxy S24 when you activate both devices on a qualifying service plan.
With a durable titanium case, 32GB of storage and cutting-edge AI features, Samsung's Galaxy Watch Ultra is one of the most advanced Android smartwatches on the market.

To get this deal, you just need to purchase the watch on an installment plan and activate a new line of service on a Data with Digits Plus plan.
The second-gen Apple Watch SE is one of the best smartwatches of 2024, and right now you can snag it for free when you activate it on a new Digits Apple Watch Plus line at T-Mobile. You'll have to purchase the smartwatch on an installment plan and then the discount is applied as bill credits over a 24-month period. You can also buy one and get a second for just $50 ($250 off) when you add at least two new lines of service.

Is Cyber Monday the best time to buy a new phone?
While phone deals are pretty common throughout the year, the offers typically get an upgrade around the Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping season. Carriers may offer bigger discounts that you can take advantage of without having to switch to a pricier service plan or might include free extras like free AirPods 4 with the iPhone 16 Pro. The deals from Cyber Monday have stuck around an extra day, but they could expire at any time.
Do T-Mobile's Cyber Monday deals require a contract?
Yes, just about any discount or deal being offered at T-Mobile (or any other major carrier) will require you to activate your device on a plan with a long-term contract. The savings are usually then distributed as monthly bill credits over a two- or three-year period.
