Now is the time of year to be cheerful and joyous, but your mobile carrier might be doing its absolute best to keep you away from such happiness. The good thing is that if your network provider is messing up, whether from poor service or exorbitant fees, switching over to a new network isn’t that hard.
Typically, when deciding to embrace a new network, you’ll have to pay certain charges to get onboarded. It is reasonable to expect that, for the most part. To make it easier for you to betray your poorly-behaved carrier, for the holidays, T-Mobile is giving you the chance to come to its network, free of a device connection charge.
One Of T-Mobile’s End-Of-Year Deals Saves You A $35 Charge To Switch To Its Network
If you like the network you’re with, you’re bound to stay with them. No carrier is perfect though, and at a point, they do a little bit more than you can take. Switching from one carrier to another isn’t an incredibly arduous process, but it is going to cost you a little bit of money to get established on the new network. That’s money that you’d probably like to use for something else, especially with the wallet-draining goodness of the holidays.
If T-Mobile just happens to be on your list of alternative networks (and hopefully not the one that you plan to run away from), you’re going to like the latest deal that the carrier is slapping on the table. If you’re in the market for a postpaid plan and are considering its network, it’s waiving its $35 device connection charge for activating a new line.
The carrier didn’t shout this deal from the rooftops or anything, but it’s a pretty sweet offer, especially because you can stack it with other deals that are on offer right now, such as discounts or BOGO (Buy One Get One) deals. That makes this one of the best opportunities you’ll have to pull the trigger on a move to Camp T-Mobile.
Note: This Deal Is Only Available In-Store And On New Lines
One thing that you’ll need to keep in mind, before you launch the T-Mobile website in your browser, is that deal is only available if you walk into a store to claim it. Interestingly, you can also try out your local Costco, as one Redditor mentions a similar deal being offered there, though with the perk of Costco gift cards thrown in.
It’s also important that you note that this deal applies when you’re getting a new line, not when switching an existing number over.
The Activation Fee Is Gone, But You’re Still On The Hook For Other Associated Fees
Keep in mind that while the $35 device connection charge is gone for the time being, getting a new line tends to come with other associated costs, such as the actual costs for the line itself.
That might make $35 seem a lot less substantial, but if you’re going to be activating new lines for an entire family, saving $35 per person is certainly going to go a long way.
