T-Mobile truly, madly, deeply wants every single Sprint subscriber out there to stick with the 2020-supercharged “Un-carrier”, which has managed to grow at an incredible pace over the last couple of years or so in terms of both its user base, and perhaps more importantly, its nation-leading 5G network.
You can keep your plan AND get a free “flagship” 5G device
All things considered, we’re almost surprised it took Magenta this long to craft a 2.0 version of its hugely successful Sprint Forward program including an “easy upgrade path with no account changes or migration required.”
Last but certainly not least, the Sprint Select program is essentially going unchanged, continuing to promise “free flagship 5G devices” and a bunch of other benefits like Magenta Max Welcome discounts, complimentary third lines of service, and PPO forgiveness for customers who do want to migrate to a T-Mobile plan and are a “right fit.”
Otherwise put, Magenta is truly doing everything in its power and pulling out all the stops to make it as simple, hassle-free, and financially advantageous for Sprint customers to not switch to Verizon or AT&T. No wonder the Sprint Forward program facilitated 2.4 million migrations and 3.4 million upgrades in 2021, two numbers that could easily grow in 2022 with these 2.0 enhancements.
But wait, there’s more
More ways to make sure Sprint holdouts will not be discernibly impacted by the “Now Network’s” fast-approaching shutdown(s), that is, including an “automated migration readiness” process dubbed Magenta Complete.
Those who will be deemed eligible for “automated migration” under the Magenta Complete program won’t have to lift a finger, visit a store, or make any manual effort whatsoever to officially become T-Mobile customers.
