T-Mobile points out that customers who take advantage of this deal can get a new phone and monthly plan for as low as $40 per month. That includes the T-Mobile Essentials plan for a family of four with autopay enabled. If you want to step up to the T-Mobile One plan, the price per line for a family of four will increase to $50 per month with autopay.
Also of note is that these offers include a 36-month Equipment Installment Plan (EIP), which we first learned of last weekend. At the time, it was only available on the Galaxy Note 9, but now it looks like T-Mobile is planning to expand the 36-month EIP to more devices. For example, T-Mo says that customer can get an LG V40 ThinQ for $0 down and $25.56 per month for 36 months, or an iPhone XR for $0 down and $20.84 per month for 36 months.
T-Mobile’s offer will launch this Friday, October 19th, along with iPhone XR pre-orders. Those pre-orders will begin at 12:01 am PT on Friday, and the iPhone XR will launch on October 26th.
