Apple iPhone 17: four devices for free on an unlimited plan (no trade) at T-Mobile
Here's an excellent 'seasonal' special from T-Mobile that's actually a hold-over from the carrier's end-of-year sales. Right now, you can get four iPhone 17 for free on an unlimited data plan without the usual trade-in criteria. By itself, that doesn't sound ground-breaking, but the real magic here is in the details. Plan eligibility for this deal includes the carrier's entry-level 'Essentials' plan, which comes out at just $100 per month for four lines. Yep, that means you can get four free iPhone 17 on four lines that average out at just $25/mo each.

If you're just looking for a decent T-Mobile deal on a single line, then you could consider the carrier's current promotion on the outstanding iPhone 17 Pro. You can currently trade-in an older device to get the iPhone 17 Pro, which is still valued at $1,099, for free alongside a new unlimited data plan. If you're not looking to trade, then you can still get $830 off today, which is great too.

T-Mobile unlimited plans: get third line free
T-Mobile's best plan deal is the carrier's most well-known. It is, of course, the 'third line free' promotion that's been a staple at the carrier for a few years now.

Bring your own phone: get Essentials plan for $50/mo
A good option for single-line users, T-Mobile is currently offering a line on its entry-level Essentials unlimited plan for $50/mo when you switch over from another carrier. This equates to a $10/mo saving, so it's definitely worth considering, not least because the carrier will also gift you a virtual prepaid card of up to $800 in value to help pay off your phone at a rival network.

Military, first responder, and senior discounts: get Essentials plan for $50/mo
T-Mobile's unlimited postpaid plans are significantly cheaper if you're eligible for one of the carrier's discount criteria. Eligibility for a discount includes those over 55 years of age, first responders, or active serving military and veterans. You can't stack these discounts, but the savings roughly equate to $10 to $20 per month, depending on how many lines you have, so it's definitey worth applying for if you meet the criteria.
