Score a free Apple iPhone 17 right now with T-Mobile — how to qualify for this wild offer

FREE IPHONE 17: T-Mobile is offering those who switch to their network, and with eligible trade-ins, a deal to get up to four free iPhone 17s and four lines on the Essentials unlimited plan for $25 per line (a total of $100 per month).

Planning to give the generous gift of a new iPhone this Christmas? Or maybe you deserve an upgrade? Either way, T-Mobile has you covered with a special festive deal that could see you walking away with a free iPhone 17. And you don't even need to trade anything in to qualify for this offer. We know that sounds wild, but there are obviously some hoops to jump through.

If you port your number and open a new line on T-Mobile's Experience Beyond plan, you'll get the Apple iPhone 17 thrown in for free. That ends up saving you $830. That's a lot of cash that can be put to much better use of the holidays.

T-Mobile's Experience Beyond plan costs $100 per month for one line. The monthly price is locked for five years, but does include some nice extras like Hulu, Netflix, unlimited mobile hotspot, full-flight texting, and WiFi with streaming. What's probably clear at this point is that you aren't really getting a "free" iPhone 17 with this promotion. But if you were already looking to move to a new premium plan, this deal significantly sweetens the pot.

You will need to pay tax on the full price of the iPhone 17 up front, plus a one-time $35 device connection fee and your first monthly payment to access the service. Then the cost of the phone will be paid out via 24 monthly bill credits. You'll also need to enroll in AutoPay, transfer your number from an eligible carrier (find details here), and add the new line. We weren't lying when we said there are some hoops to jump through, but this is the iPhone 17 we're talking about. It's worth the hassle.
