T-Mobile Black Friday deals include free iPhone 16 Pro, Galaxy S24+, and Pixel 9 Pro offers with trade-ins and plan bundles.
I’m writing this because a few people on my YouTube channel asked if the deals are real or just hype. After checking official T-Mobile pages and testing a few plans myself, here’s what you should know before buying or switching.

Who This Is For
If you’re a T-Mobile user thinking about a phone upgrade, or someone switching from Verizon or AT&T, this post helps you figure out what’s actually worth it—and what’s just marketing noise.
1. Free Phone Offers (With Trade-In)
T-Mobile’s main headline this year is free or heavy-discount phone deals with trade-ins.
Here’s what’s confirmed so far from official listings:
- iPhone 16 Pro or Galaxy S24+: Free with eligible trade-in and Magenta MAX plan
- Pixel 9 Pro: Free when switching from another carrier
- Older iPhones (14, 13, SE): $0 down with monthly credits
It’s not truly “free,” since you must stay on a qualifying plan for 24 months. But if you’re already on Magenta MAX or Go5G Next, you’ll actually save.
2. Plan Discounts for New Customers
If you switch both your mobile and home internet, T-Mobile gives a $20/month discount on the combined bill.
From my testing and others’ feedback, the bundle savings apply reliably without hidden conditions.
It’s an easy win if you’re using T-Mobile 5G Home Internet.
3. Trade-In Value Tips
Don’t skip checking your phone’s trade-in value first.
T-Mobile sometimes lists older devices like iPhone 11 or Galaxy S20 with bonuses that aren’t shown upfront.
Before you go to the store:
- Visit the official T-Mobile trade-in page
- Note your exact model and condition
- Get the estimated value in writing (screenshot it)
This small step helps avoid later disputes over credit amounts.
4. Hidden Fees and Fine Print
Most people miss this part.
When you get a new device under a 24-month contract:
- You still pay sales tax on the full retail price
- Activation fee: $35 per line
- Early upgrade or cancellation removes the monthly credit
If you’re not sure you’ll stay with T-Mobile for two years, skip the “free” phone and buy unlocked instead.
5. Home Internet Bundle Deal
T-Mobile’s 5G Home Internet plan stays at $50/month with AutoPay.
This year’s perk: You get a $200 prepaid card if you bundle with a phone line.
The speeds depend heavily on your location. From my testing in Punjab, average speeds were 120–160 Mbps, stable enough for streaming and work calls.

My Take
I’ve covered carrier deals for a few years now, and this year’s T-Mobile Black Friday deals are solid—but only if you trade in or bundle.
If you’re on an older phone and want a new one without paying upfront, this is a good time.
But if you’re happy with your current device, skip the hype and wait for next year’s loyalty offers, which often match these discounts without the contract lock-in.
FAQs
Is T-Mobile cheaper than AT&T during Black Friday 2025?
Yes. Most T-Mobile plans cost 10–15% less than AT&T’s equivalent unlimited plans, especially when bundled with home internet.
Can I get the deal if I’m an existing T-Mobile customer?
Yes, but only some offers. Most “free phone” deals need you to be on Go5G Next or Magenta MAX. Regular Magenta plans get lower credits.
Does T-Mobile have early Black Friday deals?
Yes. The early deals started on November 1, and many continue through Cyber Monday. You don’t need to wait for November 29 to get them.
