Why we love T-Mobile’s Black Friday deal
If you happen to be nearing the end of your current phone plan contract, you’re in luck. Black Friday is the perfect time to make a change in your service provider, as both major carriers and smaller MVNOs are dropping their prices to commemorate the holiday. T-Mobile’s Black Friday deal is no exception, giving shoppers one of the first chances to get the latest iPhones, Samsung Galaxy devices, and smartwatches for free.
The deals keep getting better, too. While the sale was previously limited to bulk plan purchases earlier this month, newcomers can now get a free Apple or Samsung bundle via 24 monthly billing credits with eligible trade-ins on an Experience Beyond Plan during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The freebies include the new iPhone 17 Pro, iPad A16, and Apple Watch SE for Apple customers, or a Galaxy Z Flip 7, Galaxy Tab S10 FE, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and Galaxy Buds 3 FE for Samsung shoppers.

How to get the T-Mobile Black Friday deal
If you’re hoping to score a free device bundle from T-Mobile, you’ll need an eligible phone trade-in. Luckily, the condition doesn’t matter to them, so long as you have a qualifying device. Here are the steps to follow:
- Visit the iPhone 17 Pro or Samsung Galaxy Z Flip page on T-Mobile’s website.
- Select your preferences, including color, storage options, and delivery method.
- Sign in to your existing T-Mobile account or select the “New customer” option.
- For new customers, choose between keeping your current phone number or getting a new one.
- Choose to get a trade-in estimate and enter your old phone’s IMEI number to check eligibility.
- Skip or add accessories, then select a T-Mobile Experience Beyond plan to qualify.
If you happen to be shopping for new phones across your family, or just prefer a different promotion, you can also kick off T-Mobile’s other Black Friday deals by heading to their appropriate landing pages.
- Get four free iPhone 17 or Samsung Galaxy S25 smartphones with new Essentials promo plans.
- Get a free Google Pixel 10 and Pixel Buds 2a with an eligible trade-in on most plans.
- Get a free Motorola Razr Ultra and Moto Buds Plus, no trade-in required.
Why you’ll love it
When it comes to getting a free phone, it’s hard not to love it. T-Mobile’s Black Friday bundle deals are an excellent way to upgrade your entire suite of devices, featuring the latest Apple and Samsung phone, tablet, and smartwatch technology in the promotion. The brand’s Experience Beyond plan also offers the most bells and whistles for top-tier support, including unlimited mobile hot spot, unlimited data, and free streaming service subscriptions to Apple TV Plus, Hulu, and Netflix Standard.
For the bundle sale, be prepared to receive the amount for the phone, tablet, and smartwatch over 24 monthly bill credits. If you’ve never dabbled in this type of deal, it means that you’ll still be billed monthly for the devices, but you’ll receive the same amount as credit off your phone bill. It locks you into T-Mobile service for two years, but at least you’ll have a complete setup of great tech.
