Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro is pricey, but T-Mobile is giving switchers a reason to take a closer look. The carrier is offering up to $1,099.99 back when new customers transfer their number, add a new line, and choose an eligible plan, which can bring monthly payments down to $0 over 24 months.

The deal doesn’t require a trade-in, but you’ll need to meet T-Mobile’s requirements to get the full savings.

The iPhone 17 Pro deal is available at T-Mobile in deep blue, cosmic orange, and silver with 256GB of storage. Its full retail price is $1,099.99, and the offer is available for new customers who switch their number to T-Mobile and choose an eligible plan.

To qualify for up to $1,099.99 in savings, you’ll need to:

• Buy an eligible iPhone model, including the iPhone 17 Pro

• Transfer your number from an eligible carrier

• Add a new voice line

• Choose an eligible T-Mobile plan

Eligible plans vary depending on whether you’re a new or existing T-Mobile customer and may include Experience Beyond, Better Value, and select existing T-Mobile plans. T-Mobile says bill credits can take up to two billing cycles to appear.

The iPhone 17 Pro isn’t the only device included in T-Mobile’s switch offers. Depending on the phone model and qualifying plan, customers can also get savings on other iPhones, including the iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and iPhone 16. And if you don’t qualify for the top-tier offer, T-Mobile has other switcher promotions that provide up to $900, $830, or $630 back through 24 monthly bill credits, depending on your plan and device.

What to know before switching

Like most carrier promotions, this deal comes with a few conditions. You’ll need qualifying credit and service, an eligible plan (starting at $100/month with AutoPay, plus taxes and fees, for the main offer), a port-in from a supported carrier such as AT&T or Verizon, and an active account in good standing to continue receiving bill credits.

If you cancel your account before receiving all 24 bill credits, the remaining device balance becomes due. Paying off the phone early can also prevent any remaining credits from being applied.

If you’ve been eyeing the iPhone 17 Pro, this T-Mobile offer could provide you with the push you need to make the switch.
