A free iPhone 16e and a cheap unlimited data plan - what's not to love about this deal at Metro by T-Mobile?

Great iPhone deals are a dime a dozen these days at the major carriers, but meaningful price cuts at smaller (and cheaper) carriers are often a little harder to find. Right now, however, there is one notable exception with Metro by T-Mobile's promotion on the iPhone 16e.

This excellent mid-range device, which is rated as our top budget iPhone, is currently free if you pair it up with an unlimited data plan at the carrier. It needs to be a plan valued at over $50/mo, but no trade-ins or other steps are needed here, so it's a really flexible offer that comes in pretty cheap for a single-line user.

A similar deal at one of the major carriers will likely clock in at around $70 to $90 per month, depending on your plan, so this is definitely a compelling deal when paired with Metro's $50/mo 'Unlimited 5G data' plan. That's a plan that not only features unlimited data, but 8GB of hotspot allowance, 100GB of Google Cloud storage, and membership to the useful T-Mobile Tuesdays perks program.

The above deal is probably my favorite at Metro by T-Mobile right now, but the carrier's site is full of great promotions right now.

For example, if you're simply looking to bring your own device, then you can get one line of unlimited data for just $25/mo right now - which is one of the cheapest plans on the entire market currently. That's a price that will last for a long time, too, thanks to the carrier's five-year price guarantee on all plans currently. Read more about this deal, and others, just down below.
