Switch to Metro by T-Mobile with unlimited 5G data for $25 per month

What you need to know

Customers that switch to Metro by T-Mobile and trade in any working phone get unlimited service for $25 per month for two years.
Switching customers can also get a free 5G phone.
Metro by T-Mobile is targeting Cricket and Boost Mobile customers pointing out that they can get half-off an unlimited plan with 5G.

T-Mobile is on the offensive and its most recent target is prepaid customers, specifically those on Cricket Wireless and Boost Mobile. T-Mobile announced that starting July 29, customers that switched to Metro by T-Mobile can get an unlimited plan for $25 per month with 5G support. Customers can also get a free 5G phone when they switch. This offer is only open to customers that bring their number to Metro and trade in any working phone.

This is down from the $40 per month plan currently offered to switching customers. The $25 per month price will be available for two years before reverting to full price. Once your term is up, you own the phone so you can take it with you to another plan or carrier at that time if you want.

To take advantage of this deal, head in to a Metro by T-Mobile store starting July 29 with your old phone to trade in. Metro is accepting any phone as long as it works so if you're still holding on to an old flip phone, it's a good time to upgrade.

Metro points out that this price is half off the price of a competing plan from Cricket or Boost Mobile. Cricket only offers 5G support on its most expensive unlimited plan and Boost Mobile recently announced that it would be using AT&T for its coverage in the future after T-Mobile announced plans to retire the aging CDMA Sprint network.

In a press release, Jon Freier, Executive Vice President, T-Mobile Consumer Group said:

Our smartphones are our lifelines, and yet a generation of prepaid customers are being left behind in the 5G era by providers and plans that keep them locked on old technology and slow, over-priced connections. If Cricket or Boost won't upgrade their customers to 5G, Metro by T-Mobile sure will. At Metro by T-Mobile, we put customers first. The biggest 5G network at half the price of Boost or Cricket, unlimited data with 5G included AND a free 5G phone? Talk about an easy upgrade.

This isn't the first time T-Mobile has offered a free 5G phone and even Metro currently has a free 5G phone offer with the 5G version of the Samsung Galaxy A32 available for free with a new line activation.

T-Mobile is the current leader in 5G coverage and its network hosts several of the best cell phone plans you can get including other prepaid carriers like Mint Mobile.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
