T-Mobile offers AT&T customers special deals to switch carriers

T-Mobile's latest Un-carrier Unwrapped gift is aimed at AT&T customers willing to make the switch to T-Mobile. If you switch carriers, T-Mobile will sell you the 128GB Apple iPhone 6s for the price of the 16GB unit. That is a $200 savings. The deal also includes a price break on smartwatches and select accessories. T-Mobile's press release specifically mentions discounts of as much as 50% or $125 on intelligent timepieces, UE Boom and JBL Bluetooth speakers, Beats headphones, Fitbit fitness trackers, and the Guitar Hero Live for iOS bundle.

Customers leaving AT&T's pre-paid brand GoPhone, and its Cricket Wireless pre-paid subsidiary are also invited to join T-Mobile to receive the same deals. Additionally, those leaving AT&T for T-Mobile will be eligible to receive up to $650 per line to cover ETFs. Or, that money can be applied to the balance of a previously purchased phone when you trade-in that device, and purchase a new handset from the nation's third largest carrier. You also will have to switch phone numbers.

"I can already hear carrier customers asking ‘What’s the catch?’ And I don’t blame them—because, with the carriers, there’s always a catch. But that’s not us. And this is our way of showing long-suffering carrier customers exactly how the Un-carrier gives you more without asking more from you. This holiday, give yourself an iPhone upgrade or the amazing Apple Watch, game, audio gear − pick your accessory − and cut the price up to $125 off. It’s our gift to you."-John Legere, CEO, T-Mobile

The deal is available starting tomorrow and runs through December 13th. Sign-up by calling T-Mobile at 1.877-413-5903, or visit one of the carrier's physical stores.

I guessed you missed the news 2 weeks ago that T-Mobile is giving unlimited customers a free vudu rental every month for a year.

Give up my cheaper & reliable & unthrottled data, as well as phone subsidies with AT&T to join T-Mo? Maybe if I smoked crack. MAYBE.

Unthrottled data? Maybe you've already smoked that crack: AT&T does throttle unlimited data once you go pass 23 gigs.

And add a new line of service, pay basically a 15$ activation fee, have that line open for at least 3 months to get your money, and in some plans (2 lines 100$ unlimited,) add a line is actually 40$ a month, be careful when scamming and always factor everything.

They're offering a deal for each carrier each week, so Verizon is probably up next. Unless they did Verizon two weeks ago, before Sprint. I honestly don't remember.

And here we go again. As I mentioned before, T-Mobile keeps on offering sweet deals like this where people can get iPhones free or nearly free. They should have the same offer for other phones like the S6, G4, V10 and Priv. I know that they prefer iPhones because they preserve their resale value but you need to give customers other options, and Apple sure doesn't need more help to rake in bigger profits.

A used phone preserving it's re-sale value, eh? Just because of the Apple brand! *Such is a no-go with me*

So did you get the Note5 or Edge+ a while back when they were discounting them? Or how about the S6 you can get for 10 bucks a month now? How about the Note5 for 15 a month? Just because you dont KNOW the promo exists, doesnt mean it doesnt exist. Also, how are they to give a discount on the PRIV when they dont even sell it?

I know that these were offered with discounts previously, but for this AT&T gift thing they should make the offer available for these phones as well. And I know the PRIV is not available yet, but it should be part of future offers is what I mean.

I had read T-Mobile had a poor churn rate to AT&T compared to other carriers. In other words, customers leaving T-Mobile are most likely to go to AT&T. Makes sense due to GSM tech and AT&T's flat out night and day better network. T-Mobile is an effective advertisement company but AT&T is a more effective wireless company. Fact of life.

Why would you need to change your number? You port it over.

T-Mobile would have to pay me a lot more to switch to them. A huge amount of my state isn't covered other than major cities and with constant traveling for work says no way... I'll pay more for consistency

When I saw this I was hoping for something better! I don't like or want an iphone. I am perfectly happy with my 3rd gen Moto G on Cricket right now. Tmobile really needs to make their plan prices for one individual line better! Their fully prepaid department isn't much better and for some strange reason on it, they still do not allow for conditional call forwarding, Which I need to use the voicemail app youmail.
