T-Mobile Offers Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus for Free with Eligible Trade-In and Plan

T-Mobile has launched a promotion allowing customers to receive a free Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus by trading in any eligible smartphone—even if it is damaged or broken—provided they enroll in either the Experience Beyond or Go5G Next plan. The offer is particularly notable for its flexibility: unlike most carrier deals that require a trade-in device in working condition, T-Mobile’s current promotion accepts devices in any state. The free phone is delivered as a $1,000 credit spread out over a 24-month billing cycle, which means customers are committing to a two-year contract. Eligible trade-in devices include the iPhone 12 or Samsung Galaxy S10 and newer models, but it is advisable to check T-Mobile’s website for the most current list and to confirm regional eligibility. The Galaxy S25 Plus itself is a strong contender in the current smartphone market, featuring a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a resolution of 3,120 x 1,440 pixels, a versatile triple camera system (including a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x zoom), and advanced AI features. According to ZDNET’s expert reviews, the camera quality and overall performance make the S25 Plus a top choice among Samsung’s latest lineup, with little difference noted between it and the higher-end S25 Ultra in terms of camera capabilities. The deal has received a 4/5 Editor’s Deal rating for its generosity and flexibility, though potential customers should be aware of the contract commitment and should confirm the latest terms directly with T-Mobile, as offers are subject to change or expire without notice. ZDNET’s editorial team emphasizes their commitment to accurate, expert-driven recommendations and ongoing deal monitoring to help readers make informed decisions.
