Whether you're looking to switch carriers or just need to add an extra line to your plan, Metro by T-Mobile has an offer that you won't want to miss. Right now, activating a new line on a qualifying plan will put the $250 Samsung Galaxy A17 5G in your pocket for free.
Metro is waiving the activation fees with this deal. Plus, Metro is offering a five-year price guarantee, so you don't have to worry about any surprises on your monthly bill. There's no set expiration, though, so take advantage of these savings while you can.
Now, there are a couple of strings attached to this deal. The most important of which is that only select plans qualify for this deal. If you'll be switching your existing number over from another carrier, you can get this phone for free with the $40-a-month Period plan. If you're going to get a new number altogether, you'll have to upgrade to the $50-a-month plan instead.
Both plans include unlimited talk and text, as well as unlimited 5G data. The $50 monthly plan also comes with a few extra benefits, including 8GB of hotspot data and a 100GB Google One membership. Also note that those switching their number over only qualify for this deal if they haven't been a T-Mobile or Metro customer for at least 180 days.
