T-Mobile is talking a major 5G game today, declaring that it’s giving any individual who trades any old telephone a free Samsung Galaxy A32 5G. The old telephone has to be in working order, but it can be any phone – the press release even mentions you can trade a Sidekick, flip telephone, whatever.
The “free” bit comes after 24 bill credits, so you should stay for a very long time to profit, you actually need to make good on sales tax – yet hello, it’s almost free after all.
The transporter additionally reported that it’s upgrading all of its customers (counting those beforehand on Sprint) who are on a limited data plan to a limitless 5G plan for free.
Moreover, T-Mobile Home Internet by means of 5G launches today with 30 million homes qualified, making the transporter “one of the largest broadband providers in the entire country by service area” from the very first moment. The release snarkily adds that “that’s already more homes than Verizon hopes to cover by the end of 2023”. Oh, and 10 million of those eligible homes are in rural America. There’s only one Home Internet plan, at $60 per month flat, with “expected average speeds of 100 Mbps for most new customers”.
