Toda,y T-Mobile announced Go5G Next, a new plan that lets T-Mobile customers upgrade their phones every year at the same price a new customer would.
“While the Carriers try to lock you in and limit your choices, T-Mobile continues to double down on value and deliver even more options, so everyone has a plan that works for them,” said T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert. “Go5G Next brings more flexibility and freedom to wireless and another end to longer-than-you-want device contracts.”
With Go5G Next, anyone who switches is eligible for a free 5G smartphone with a trade-in. The catch is you must have paid off half of the value of your phone before trading it in to get the upgrade offer. According to T-Mobile, most customers will hit that mark every year. The other catch is it must have been at least six months since your last upgrade, even if you already have paid off half the price of your phone.
T-Mobile says if you trade in your current smartphone and meet all the requirements needed, they will pay off the remaining balance on your phone. Allowing you to get a new phone even when you still owe money on your old one.
T-Mobile says these T-Mobile Go5G Next plans will start at $ 71.67 per line if you have three lines with autopay, or starting at $100 for a single line. The plans include free Apple TV+ and Netflix, and come with 50GB of mobile hotspot data.
This is a great option for customers who really want that new phone every single year. Though make sure to read all the fine print before signing up.
