We heard yesterday that T-Mobile was set to launch a new “Upgrade and Save” phase of its holiday deals from tomorrow, December 11. Turns out, there are some great $0 down offers coming to a host of top handsets for new and existing customers.

T-Mobile will be offering Apple and Samsung handsets and tablets on a $0 down promotion, ready in time for the final weeks of holiday shopping.

The 16GB iPhone 5s will be available for $0 down with 24 monthly payments of $27 (total of $648), with a no annual service contract Simple Choice Plan. Similar deals can be had on the 16GB iPhone 5c which is $0 down with 24 payments of $22.91 ($549.84). Samsung handsets are being lumped in too, with the Galaxy Note 3 at $0 down with monthly payments of $29.50 ($708) and Galaxy S4 with 24 payments of $25 ($600).

Tablet pricing is as follows:

·         iPad Air (16GB) – $0 down with 24 equal monthly payments of $26.25, with a no annual service contract Simple Choice Plan.
·         iPad mini (16GB) – $0 down with 24 equal monthly payments of $17.91, with a no annual service contract Simple Choice Plan.
·         iPad mini with Retina display (16GB) – $0 down with 24 equal monthly payments of $22.08, with a no annual service contract Simple Choice Plan.
·         Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 – $0 down with 24 equal monthly payments of $19, with a no annual service contract Simple Choice Plan.

This particular promotion will be available from T-Mobile.com and from T-Mobile retail stores. And, although it doesn’t save any money in the long term, it does offer the opportunity for people to grab the smartphones they want without needing to worry about finding enough cash for the usual up-front cost.
