T-Mobile Will Give You $200 to Switch From Another Carrier

Earlier this month, T-Mobile started offering free iPhone 17s to new customers (they still are) – and now they’re offering a $200 prepaid Mastercard for a limited time to anyone who brings their unlocked device and phone number and switches to them. Here are the details you need to know.

You can choose between three T-Mobile plans: Essential, Experience More, and Experience Beyond, which start at $50, $85, and $100 per month, respectively. The latter two offer a free third line and are the only ones to offer unlimited data. These two also offer a five-year price guarantee, so you know prices won’t increase in those first few years.

To be eligible, you need an unlocked phone, which means it can’t be linked to another carrier with payments. If your phone is refunded, you can contact your carrier to unlock it. You will keep your original number and will not need to change it.

T-Mobile offers a no-contract, no-penalty process for “early” departure, so if you don’t mind doing all the work to switch, you can always cancel and keep your $200. Keep in mind that it will take up to eight weeks for the $200 Prepaid Mastercard to arrive at your home once the transition is complete. You can complete most of the transition process yourself with the T-Mobile app. It takes about 15 minutes.

Like other T-Mobile deals, there’s no indication how long the deal will be available. If you are considering changing your system, now is a good time to do so.
