[Choose your plan](https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans) [Learn more](https://www.t-mobile.com/benefits) Number of Picks varies by T-Mix plan and lines on account. Account or Picks changes may impact existing device & other promotions. Regular redemptions required & restrictions apply. Get full terms  ## Pick and change what you want. It’s included in your T-Mix plan. Use Picks to choose the benefits, including services and device promotions, in your T-Mix plan; your plan type and number of lines determine how many Picks you can use toward benefits each quarter. Pick allotment is subject to change. Picks have no cash value; they cannot be traded, gifted, or redeemed for cash. Unapplied Picks do not carry over to the next quarter and are not refundable. Remixing: How often you can remix depends on the benefit; some benefits let you switch any time, others hold your Picks for a quarter or longer, and device promotions hold Picks for the promotion period. Annual Reselection: Once a year, we will ask you to reselect benefits with your available Picks. Existing benefits continue when you reselect them. We may change the benefits and the number of Picks a benefit requires at any time. Changes to active benefits start at your next quarter. Account Changes: Changes to your account can change how many Picks are available for benefits and may impact active device promotions. If a change leaves you with fewer Picks than your selected benefits require, you will have an opportunity to update your mix. If you do not, we will notify you before cancelling any promotions or benefits to resolve the shortfall. You can only use Picks while your account is on a T-Mix plan in good standing. Benefits and device promotions remain subject to their own terms, including third-party terms where applicable. You may need to manage your existing third-party subscriptions to avoid duplicate charges.

For a limited time, new voice customers who switch (bring your number) to T-Mobile from an eligible postpaid carrier (AT&T, Verizon, or another eligible carrier. See complete list at [T-Mobile.com/port](http://T-Mobile.com/port)) can bring their eligible phone and we will reimburse you up to $800 per line on the remaining device payment balance (up to 4 voice lines) via virtual prepaid card (card usually takes 15 days). With Keep and Switch, you can keep your 5G phone, keep your number AND get the 5G experience your phone deserves on America’s largest and fastest 5G network. - ### Why is there a limited list of phones that qualify for me to bring to the T-Mobile network and have you cover the remaining balance at my previous carrier? Cell phones have unique software and in some cases hardware for each wireless carrier’s network is different and not compatible with one another. We’ve already done the work to check that all phones listed as eligible work great when they’re brought to T-Mobile. We will continue to work with phone manufacturers to enable more devices to easily move between carrier networks and still deliver the awesome experience T-Mobile is known for. - ### How do I get Keep and Switch? To qualify for T-Mobile to reimburse your remaining device payment balance, up to $800, you must: - Have a device financing agreement on an eligible device with AT&T, Verizon, or another eligible carrier (see complete list at [T-Mobile.com/port](http://T-Mobile.com/port)), and have had the agreement for at least 90 days on that network. - Activate a new voice account on a qualified rate plan. Most plans currently sold by T-Mobile are eligible with some exclusions. - Before you bring (port) your number to T-Mobile, ensure your phone is unlocked and ready to go on our network. It’s quick and easy to check your phone’s compatibility [here](https://www.t-mobile.com/resources/bring-your-own-phone). - For customers with phones locked to the carrier (AT&T, Verizon, or another eligible carrier, See complete list at [T-Mobile.com/port](http://T-Mobile.com/port)) you will have to pay off your phone, request unlock from your previous carrier, and wait for your unlock request to be granted (typically takes 1-3 days) prior to bringing (porting) your number over. Bringing (porting) your number to T-Mobile prior to unlocking your phone will result in loss of access to service on the T-Mobile network due to your current incompatible locked phone. - Download a PDF of your most recent bill that shows your phone’s financing details including the previous carrier’s name & phone number, phone’s make & model, phone’s payment balance, phone financing start date (showing a minimum of 90 days with prior carrier or number of payments made). - Bring (port) your number over to T-Mobile only after you have confirmed your phone is unlocked. - Phone numbers previously reimbursed for Family Freedom or Keep and Switch and later ported to another carrier are eligible to submit for reimbursement again after two years has passed since your last approval and reimbursement via either Family Freedom or Keep or Switch. - Submit for reimbursement at [www.switch2t-mobile.com](http://www.switch2t-mobile.com/) within 30 days of activation. - ### Can I get protection on the phone I bring over to T-Mobile?

Use of this card constitutes acceptance of the terms and conditions stated in the Cardholder Agreement. ## Pick and change what you want. It’s included in your T-Mix plan. Use Picks to choose the benefits, including services and device promotions, in your T-Mix plan; your plan type and number of lines determine how many Picks you can use toward benefits each quarter. Pick allotment is subject to change. Picks have no cash value; they cannot be traded, gifted, or redeemed for cash. Unapplied Picks do not carry over to the next quarter and are not refundable. Remixing: How often you can remix depends on the benefit; some benefits let you switch any time, others hold your Picks for a quarter or longer, and device promotions hold Picks for the promotion period. Annual Reselection: Once a year, we will ask you to reselect benefits with your available Picks. Existing benefits continue when you reselect them. We may change the benefits and the number of Picks a benefit requires at any time. Changes to active benefits start at your next quarter. Account Changes: Changes to your account can change how many Picks are available for benefits and may impact active device promotions. If a change leaves you with fewer Picks than your selected benefits require, you will have an opportunity to update your mix. If you do not, we will notify you before cancelling any promotions or benefits to resolve the shortfall. You can only use Picks while your account is on a T-Mix plan in good standing. Benefits and device promotions remain subject to their own terms, including third-party terms where applicable. You may need to manage your existing third-party subscriptions to avoid duplicate charges. See the FAQ at T-Mobile.com/Picks for more details. ## How to switch and get __up to $800 via virtual prepaid Mastercard__. ## Download your most recent bill from your current qualifying carrier. ## Find out if your phone is eligible & unlocked. ## Pay off your device. ## Request an unlock from your carrier. ## Switch to T-Mobile. ## Submit to get your __virtual prepaid Mastercard__ rebate & create your T-Mobile ID. ## Have more questions? ## Switch smarter online or in T-Life. ## Switch to T-Mobile, keep your eligible phone, and we’ll pay it off (up to $800) – up to 4 lines.
