T-Mobile is really pushing their new Value plans in an attempt to sweep you off your feet and help you save some much-needed cash. On September 24th they will be holding a, “Yes, Every Smartphone Is on Sale, Sale.†The list is rather huge considering this promo is running for every single tablet or broadband device that T-Mobile currently has in stock.
The perk behind the Value plans is being able to avoid that pesky contract and only put a down payment on your newly purchased device and slowly pay it off over 20 months. Each device has its own set down payment requirement ranging from $0 down to $99 down after rebate of course. To put that into perspective, if you walked in hoping to walk out with a HTC Sensation for $99 down, you would be mistaken. The Sensation is $199 down with a $100 mail-in rebate. I love how marketing works. It is all about the fine print.
Unlike most sales these big carriers run, this is open to new and existing customers. So that is a good thing for everyone. You can take a look at the promo page at T-Mobile. Although I am certain there would be a catch for anyone on a current contract. Worst case scenario is they say tell you it costs a termination fee to migrate. Best case scenario, they let you migrate and just need to finish out the current contract.
Check out the press release for even more details and a break down of what you would expect to ACTUALLY spend out-of-pocket when you walk into the store on the 24th.
