Sorry kids, but it's that time again. Summer is still going on, but depending on where you live, the new school year could begin as soon as this month. If your kid is being pouty and moody and depressed about having to return to the land of chalkboards and lunchboxes, you can turn that frown upside down.
T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile have announced their back-to-school deals, and nothing wipes away a frown and replaces it with a smile faster than a slice of new technology. With that in mind, here are the deals announced today by T-Mobile.
For the child starting their first school year, the carrier has these deals:

T-Mobile has some great perks that parents love, such as T-Mobile Tuesdays, free streaming services, free MLB.com, and much more.
There are still some more memorable summer days and summer nights remaining before the new school season kicks off. Now is the best time to take a look at T-Mobile's back-to-school deals (or Metro if you're a subscriber there) to see if any of the devices on sale fit in with your kid's needs for the upcoming school season.
This sale surely won't last forever, so keep that in mind. You can always tell your kids heading off to college that you got them a new phone to help them with their schoolwork. Thanks to the AI capabilities of Siri and Gemini, he can do even more in-depth research when writing a paper for one of his classes.
But what your kid might not know is that the real reason you bought the phone for him is so you can get in touch with him while he is away at college.
