Used to be that when a carrier offered you a free phone, it was some discount model that people only buy because they’re trying to be sensible and economical. It was nothing you’d drool over. Maybe if you got sort of lucky, it’d be one of yesteryear’s best models. But T-Mobile lately has actually been offering some of the latest smartphones, as freebies, with sign-ups to new Magenta plans.

Take a look at T-Mobile’s free Apple iPhone 17 Pro offer that just went live, for example. The iPhone 17 Pro is Apple’s best phone, and in turn one of the best smartphones that you could buy. Or in this case, that you could accept into your grubby, grateful paws without paying a dime. As long as you port your existing phone number to a qualifying plan, T-Mobile will reimburse you the monthly cost of the phone.

T-Mobile won’t make you trade in a phone to get your iPhone 17 Pro. You get the 256GB version, normally $1,099, for free in your choice of Deep Blue, Silver, or Cosmic Orange.

That 256GB should be plenty for most people, but if you like to download a lot of games or take lots (and lots) of photos and videos, you can select the 512GB or 1TB version and just pay for the difference in price. It comes down to $8.33 and $16.66 per month, respectively.

T-Mobile’s Magenta Month

T-Mobile’s got a whole host of benefits for June, which they’re calling Magenta Month. Expect bonuses such as weekly sweepstakes, Shell Fuel Rewards, free Slurpees at 7-Eleven, and free booze on Delta flights.

That’s in the addition to the regular slate of perks that members get all year long, including offers on Netflix and MLB.tv, one year’s worth of AAA membership, discounts on Pandora and SiriusXM memberships, and more.

Rumors circulating throughout internet are that Apple won’t unveil the inevitable iPhone 18 Pro until August, with sales likely beginning in September, and I’m not hearing any credible rumors that it’ll be that much of a revolutionary departure from the iPhone 17 Pro model, so if you need a new phone and you’re looking to get on-board T-Mobile, you may as well jump on this deal now.
