We’re working with OEMs to make more phones compatible and help more people #GetOutoftheRed. __Why doesn’t this work for AT&T or Sprint?__ AT&T and Sprint must unlock their devices, and those phones won’t work right away on T-Mobile’s network. But, AT&T and Sprint customers can still switch to T-Mobile. We’ll pay off their early termination fees (ETFs) or outstanding phone payments via prepaid card when they get a new phone on T-Mobiles Equipment Installment Plan (EIP). And for a limited time, we’re waiving the trade-in requirement for Carrier Freedom. __How is #GetOutoftheRed different from Carrier Freedom?__ There’s no trade-in required to get your iPhone or Pixel paid off, and you can keep that device to use on the T-Mobile network when you switch and sign up for T-Mobile ONE and Premium Device Protection Plus. Limited time offer; subject to change. Qualifying device & credit, port-in from eligible carriers, and qualifying service required. Carrier’s Early Termination Fee or remaining device balance, including lease purchase option paid by prepaid MasterCard® Card (expires in 12 months) typically within 15 days (device reimbursement) or 30 days (ETF). Submit proof of balance & 60+ days in good standing w/ carrier within 30 days of port-in and be active and in good standing when processed. We might ask for more information. Up to 5 lines.
