As expected, T-Mobile announced its new “Un-carrier” move today called Phone Freedom. In response to other carriers moving to 36-month financing plans for new phones without offering other options, T-Mobile has created its new Go5G wireless plans which give subscribers the ability to upgrade every other year.
T-Mobile announces new Go5G and Go5G Plus wireless plans
T-Mobile today announced its new Phone Freedom Un-carrier move which includes its new Go5G plans
With an eligible trade-in, customers signing up for Go5GPlus can receive a free 5G phone up to $830. Phones up to six years old (that’s 42 years for you and me, or is that for dogs only?) can be used in a trade. A family of four can each trade in a phone. In other words, T-Mobile will accept a phone in any condition and trade it for a free 5G phone.
For a limited time, T-Mobile will take a locked phone as a trade
In addition, T-Mobile is launching Go5G which gives subscribers more data. There will also be Go5G and Go5G Plus versions for those 55 and up, for small businesses, and military families. And these new Go5G plans will co-exist alongside the carrier’s current Essentials, Magenta and Magenta MAX plans.
T-Mobile also announced that for a limited time, it will still pay off your phone (up to $650 using a prepaid Mastercard). But now you can use an eligible phone that is locked and get a brand-new smartphone. “AT&T’s unlock process rivals a trip to the DMV, so we’re helping their customers avoid the aggravation,” said Mike Katz, President of Marketing, Innovation, and Experience, T-Mobile. “For the first time ever, we’re not just taking locked phones off people’s hands — we’re also sending people home with a free smartphone on America’s most awarded 5G network.”
If you decide to leave T-Mobile within 30 days, the carrier will give you $50 back per each voice line to help cover the costs of switching carriers. And there is more. T-Mobile is cutting the price of its Essential Savings Plan to just $25 per line per month for a family of four, or $50 per line per month for a single line. This price cut is for a limited time only.
All of the new features under the Phone Freedom umbrella will kick off on April 23rd.
