In the mobile world, the word “free” is usually followed by a list of warnings that will make you think you never started looking for a deal. You’ll usually have to sign up for the most expensive plan or trade up to a premium phone to get what you really want. But that’s not the case with the latest T-Mobile offer.
T-Mobile is offering a rare deal on the newly-released Apple iPhone 17e. For a limited time, you can get this A19-powered device for free by simply opening a new line.
You’ll need to activate a new line on T-Mobile’s Experience Beyond or Experience More plan to get the iPhone 17e. The full retail price of the phone is covered through 24 monthly bill credits, and since you’re not trading in your old phone, you can keep it as a backup, give it to a child, or sell it on a third-party site to actually make money on this deal. We said this was a rare opportunity to save.
Mashable’s Stan Schroeder received the iPhone 17e and said, “The combination of Apple’s latest chip and a good amount of storage means this phone will remain relevant for at least four to five years.” That’s an impressive lifespan for a budget-friendly phone, especially when it’s free.

If you want something more powerful, you can also pick up an iPhone 17 for free from T-Mobile if you sign up for 24 months of the Experience More plan and trade in an eligible phone. This gives you 5G data, 4K streaming, and enough international roaming for the most adventurous travelers.
