Keep Your Phones. Switch to T-Mobile. Save Up to 50%. - T-Mobile Newsroom (2024)

What's the news

T-Mobile is making it easier than ever to switch from the Carriers. With Keep & Switch, AT&T and Verizon families can switch to T-Mobile, keep their phones and save up to half off their wireless service and phone payments.

Why it matters

Families are watching every penny these days. According to new data from HarrisX, the average four-line family at AT&T or Verizon pays over $240 per month for service and phones on their wireless bill. Now, those families can cut that nearly in half by switching to T-Mobile.

Who it's for

Peoplewho want the best value AND a great network. Period.

BELLEVUE, Washington — June 11, 2020 —T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) is launching “Keep & Switch” — a new way to give AT&T and Verizon customers more flexibility, more money in their pockets and less hassle. With Keep & Switch, you keep your existing phones and T-Mobile pays what you owe AT&T or Verizon on them, up to $450. Plus, right now, the third line is free on T-Mobile Essentials, so your family can save up to half off wireless service and phone payments on your AT&T or Verizon wireless bill when you Keep & Switch.

AT&T and Verizon customers stay with the Carriers because it’s just easier than paying off devices or trading in perfectly good phones to switch. With Keep & Switch, say goodbye to giving up the phones you love, transferring all your data and photos and contacts … and hoping all that Candy Crush progress transfers with you. And say hello to serious savings, a company obsessed with customer experience and a network that covers 99% of Americans.

“The Carriers are still focused on making sure customers don’t leave, instead of making sure they want to stay. At the Un-carrier, we’re focused on being the company you want to stay with, not the one you’re stuck with,” said Mike Sievert, CEO of T-Mobile. “And, saving money is important. T-Mobile is helping customers keep more of their hard-earned money in their pockets, where it belongs.”
