T-Mobile is offering some customers an $830 credit through the T-Life app

While it’s a constant battle between carriers, T-Mobile has been putting things into high gear lately, offering some alluring promotions for its customers, new and old. With that said, it appears the carrier is once offering up a new promotion, but this one is a bit more hush, hush as it isn’t being advertised on its website or through social channels.

The news comes from The Mobile Report, sharing that the carrier is now offering $830 off any flagship device. Of course, there are a set of criteria that need to be met, with one of them being that you cannot currently be financing any devices on your plans. This is part of a loyalty promotion, so your mileage may vary. But if you’ve been looking to score a deal on a phone, this might be it.

The important details

As far as how current customers can claim this, well, it’s pretty simple. You simply need to trade in an older device, and then you can select from any phone, and get $830 off the phone, so long as you pay using the monthly installment system the carrier offers.

So how will you know if you’re eligible? Well, you’re going to need to use the carrier’s T-Life app. The news outlet shares that this is something that’s being shown in the app when shopping for new phones. Of course, you can always head into a store to check your eligibility as well.

For the most part, this isn’t a bad way to go if you’re looking to get a new phone for cheap. The only thing you need to wrestle with is whether you want to be locked in T-Mobile for two years in order to claim the credit. Like many other promotions, T-Mobile will provide that $830 credit divided over 24 months.

So, each month that you stay with the brand, is another credit towards the phone that you choose. If you’ve been with T-Mobile for a while, this really shouldn’t be a problem since their service seems to be getting better. In fact, the brand has recently made its satellite texting service official for all.

But if this doesn’t sound like something you’re looking for and instead want to jump ship, we recommend giving an MVNO a try. You’ll get the same great service but just a lower cost and less commitment.
