Starting this Friday, Verizon and AT&T subscribers can switch to T-Mobile, bring their current handset, and have it paid off up to $1,000 via a virtual prepaid MasterCard.
“AT&T and Verizon customers with brand-new 5G phones often find themselves without 5G coverage. According to the latest third-party tests, AT&T customers get a 5G signal less than half the time (44.8%) they use their phone, and Verizon customers only about a third of the time (34.3%),” said Jon Freier, Consumer Group President at T-Mobile.
“Now, those customers can switch to T-Mobile, and we’ll pay off what they owe the Carriers for their smartphone up to $1,000 — and they’ll save up to 20% on their family plan and get way more 5G coverage.”
The mobile carrier says that they will pay off as many as five phones owned by the same family.

For example, if a family of five owes as much as $1,000 on their phones, they will receive up to $5,000 to pay off their old carrier when they switch to T-Mobile. If these families sign up for the basic Essentials plan, they can save as much as $420 on an annual basis compared to the basic plans offered by Verizon and AT&T.
T-Mobile also offers its Magenta and Magenta Max plans. With the Magenta Max plan, there is no throttling of data speeds based on usage, 40GB of high-speed mobile hotspot data (when that is consumed, you will have unlimited mobile hotspot at 3G speeds), free Netflix, and more.
After its 2020 merger with Sprint, T-Mobile became the third-largest carrier to truly rival AT&T and Verizon. Also known as the Magenta Carrier, T-Mobile has been disrupting the mobile communications space with its Uncarrier plans.
T-Mobile is also regularly topping customer satisfaction surveys. As of mid-2020, T-Mobile has the largest low-band 5G coverage in the US.
