T-Mobile’s Offering ‘Free’ iPhone 11s Before Black Friday (with a Catch)

You’ll probably be able to score a new iPhone 11 at a steep discount on Black Friday. But, on Magenta Friday, you’ll be able to get one basically for free.

T-Mobile is kicking off Black Friday deals a week early with a new “Magenta Friday” offer on Nov. 22. Through the promotion, new or existing T-Mobile customers can get up to four iPhone 11 or iPhone XR devices essentially for free.

What’s the Catch?

It’s “basically” free because users will still need to pay the sales tax for the iPhone models. But they will be able to do so over a 24-month period.

As mentioned, the offer starts this Friday, Nov. 22. Here are some other key details:

1. New and existing T-Mobile subscribers can get a free iPhone XR or iPhone 11 with bill credits when they activate a new voice line and trade in a qualifying iPhone.
2. Customers can also get up to $700 off an iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone 11 Pro or iPhone 11 Pro Max through the offer with a voice line and trade in.

The Uncarrier also highlighted the offer in conjunction with its Essentials plan, which lets users get four lines of unlimited talk, text and data for $30 per month per line.

That means a family of four could potentially get the plan for $120 a month, along with their new iPhone 11s.

Other Black Friday Offers

This isn’t the only promotion that T-Mobile is offering this holiday shopping season.

T-Mobile customers can also get an iPhone 8 or $450 off an iPhone 8 Plus when they activate a new voice line and trade in a qualifying iPhone model.

If you’re looking to add cellular to your Apple Watch or buy an Apple Watch with a cellular plan, T-Mobile has a few promotions for the wearable, too.

Customers, for example, can get an Apple Watch Series 3 or Series 5 for free and get $200 off a second one. That applies when customers join T-Mobile and activate a cellular plan on both watches or add a new cellular watch line to an existing plan.
