T-Mobile Will Give You a Free iPhone 17e Right Now, No Trade-In Necessary

I traditionally have avoided tying my phone to a specific carrier, but I threw all my principles out the window when my local AT&T offered me a free iPhone 17 Pro if I switched, and traded in my beloved unlocked Pixel 9. It was an offer too good to refuse. Now, T-Mobile is offering a similar deal nationwide. Switch allegiances to them and get a free iPhone 17e, no trade-in necessary. Or, you can choose an iPhone 17 if you trade in an eligible device and choose a premium T-Mobile plan. Here are the details.

You have two options: the recently released, affordable iPhone 17e, or the standard iPhone 17 with a more impressive camera.

The iPhone 17e will be totally free with most plans T-Mobile offers (Experience Beyond, Experience More, or the Essentials plan if you're a new member). You can also be a Go5G Plus or Go5G Next member and still qualify. You will need to complete 24 months of bill payments before the phone is truly yours (if you cancel before, you will be charged a pro-rated amount for it). You will still be charged for taxes on the $599.99 iPhone and will need to pay a $35 per line activation fee. And yes, you can keep your old phone number.

For the iPhone 17, the same general rules apply—but you'll also need to trade in an eligible device. These are the phones you can trade in to get up to $830 in credits towards the value of the iPhone 17:

  • Apple iPhone: 13, 13 mini, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max, 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, 14 Pro Max, 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max, 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max, 16e

  • Google Pixel: 6, 6 Pro, 7 5G, 7 Pro 5G, 8 5G, 8 Pro 5G, 9 5G, 9 Pro 5G, 9 Pro Fold 5G, 9 Pro XL 5G, Fold 5G

  • Motorola: razr 2025, razr ultra 2025, razr+ 2023, razr+ 2024, razr+ 2025

  • OnePlus: 10 Pro 5G, 9 Pro 5G ​

  • Samsung Galaxy: Note 20 4G, Note 20 5G, Note 20 Ultra 4G, Note 20 Ultra 5G, S20, S20 5G, S20 FE, S20 FE 5G, S20 Ultra, S20+, S20+ 5G, S21, S21 FE, S21 Ultra, S21+, S22, S22 Ultra, S22+, S23, S23 FE, S23 Ultra, S23+, S24, S24 FE, S24 Ultra, S24+, S25, S25 Edge, S25 FE, S25 Ultra, S25+, Z Flip3 5G, Z Flip4 5G, Z Flip5 5G, Z Flip6 5G, Z Flip7 5G, Z Fold3 5G, Z Fold4 5G, Z Fold5 5G, Z Fold6 5G, Z Fold7 5G

Keep in mind, these phones offer up to $830 in credits, which will be applied to your bill over the course of 24 months to pay off the phone. The details will be ironed out by the T-Mobile sales rep you speak with. If you're a new member, you will need to join one of the following plans: Experience Beyond, the Experience More plan with at least 1 line, or the Better Value plan with 3+ lines (starting around $50 per line).
