Tax season is here, and many Americans are using their refunds to tackle essential expenses. According to Atomic Research, in a study commissioned by Metro by T-Mobile, nearly six in ten adults plan to use their tax refund to pay off debt or cover everyday costs.
Metro is leaning into that mindset with a new tax-season promotion designed to help customers reduce one of their recurring monthly bills. For a limited time, the prepaid carrier is offering a multi-month wireless option that lets you lock in six months of unlimited service for $120 upfront. If you bring your own phone, that works out to just $20 per month on Metro’s $40 unlimited plan, effectively cutting the cost of service in half while eliminating six monthly payments.
For anyone looking to stretch their tax refund further this spring, it could be one of the simplest ways to lower your wireless bill.
Lock In 6 Months of Unlimited Service for $120
Metro’s new tax-season offer is built around the straightforward idea of pay once and forget about your phone bill for half the year. Here’s what the promotion includes:
- $120 upfront for six months of unlimited service when you bring your own phone
- Works out to $20 per month on Metro’s $40 unlimited plan
- Taxes and fees included in the price
- No contracts or activation fees
- No surprise monthly charges
- Unlimited 5G data on the network operated by T-Mobile
- 5-year price guarantee for qualifying plans
Because Metro operates as the prepaid brand of T-Mobile, customers get access to the same nationwide wireless network without needing a contract or traditional postpaid billing. If your phone is compatible with T-Mobile’s network, you can simply move your number over and activate the six-month prepaid option. Doing so lets you cut the effective cost of unlimited service in half while keeping the device you already own.
Internet Savings, Free Samsung Galaxy A17 & More Deals
If you’re looking to cut more than just your phone bill, Metro is also promoting a home internet offer. Powered by T-Mobile Home Internet, Metro has a simple prepaid option for people who want to avoid traditional cable or fiber contracts. For a limited time, with a Metro voice plan and AutoPay, you save $10/mo. on T-Mobile 5G Home Internet, dropping the price to $40 per month, with an included 5-year price guarantee.
Replacing an old, slow phone? Metro is also offering a device upgrade option. New customers who bring their number and sign up for the $40 unlimited plan can get the Samsung Galaxy A17 for $0. Unlike many wireless promotions, Metro says the offer doesn’t rely on bill credits or hidden conditions. That means eligible customers can walk out with the phone for free at signup rather than waiting months to receive credits on their bill.
If you’re planning to switch carriers this spring or simply want to stretch your tax refund further, locking in six months of wireless service for $120 could be one of the easiest ways to cut your phone bill in 2026.
