Whether you're in the market for a new phone or looking to switch to a new carrier, you'll want to take a peek at T-Mobile's current offers first. With these deals, you could potentially put a top-rated phone, like the iPhone 17, in your pocket for free, and the savings don't stop there. T-Mobile is also offering discounts on select plans, so you can lock in long-term savings.

To help you make the most of these offers, CNET's shopping experts have rounded up T-Mobile's best deals below. Please note that the details of these offers change frequently, so don't wait too long, or you could miss out.

Best T-Mobile phone deals

Many of T-Mobile's phone deals are available to new and existing customers, although trade-ins are often required to get the advertised prices. Keep in mind the deals are split across 24 months of bill credits, meaning you must remain a T-Mobile customer for at least two years for the phone to be paid off, as the terms state. If you cancel before that period is over, you'll be responsible for any remaining charges.

T-Mobile offers discounts on the new iPhone 17 series for those either trading in an old phone or switching over from another carrier. An eligible trade-in can save you up to $1,100 if you have an Experience Beyond. This can score you models like the iPhone 17 Pro for free. You can save $830 if you have an Experience More plan or $300 for most other plans.

You can also save $830 when you switch to T-Mobile on an Experience or Better Value plan, or with both a new line and trade-in.

Plus, T-Mobile has tons of special offers for military members, first responders and customers over 55 years old that could save you up to $900.
