GET 4 PHONES FREE: During T-Mobile's holiday sales event, you can get four base Samsung Galaxy S25 phones for free, no trade-ins required. Here's all the details to qualify.

When you switch to T-Mobile's Essentials promo plan

Upgrading your phone doesn't have to be expensive — you just have to be strategic about it. For instance, instead of paying $799.99 out of pocket for a new Samsung Galaxy S25, you can bring your number to T-Mobile and get four for free.

There is a bit of fine print, so listen up. First of all, this offer is only valid for the base model Galaxy S25, which has 128GB of storage. Second of all, you must transfer your current number to the T-Mobile Essentials promo plan at $25 per month per line. You'll have to pay a $35 connection fee as well as any included taxes. You'll also need four lines minimum to score the phones for free, so this deal works best with family plans wanting to make the switch to T-Mobile. The good news is there are no trade-ins required and there's no current end date listed. That being said, we recommend jumping on the deal sooner rather than later to lock it in.

It's not as powerful as the S25 Ultra or Edge, but it's also a lot easier on your wallet at $799.99. Just shy of a year old, the S25 base model features the impressive Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 12GB of RAM, upped from 8GB over the S24. It's also slightly thinner and lighter than the previous-generation, but otherwise pretty similar in terms of display, battery life, and camera setup. And of course, as with anything in 2025, it's also loaded with AI features.

Not a Samsung person? T-Mobile's holiday sales event also includes offers for a free iPhone 17 Pro (with eligible trade-in), four free iPhone 17s (when you switch to T-Mobile's Essentials plan), a free Motorola razr+ (with new line on eligible plans), or a free Google Pixel 10 (with eligible trade-in). Head over to T-Mobile to browse your options for a free device this season.
