T-Mobile will give you a free Galaxy A32 5G in exchange for any working phone
June 27, 2025
Today, T-Mobile threwa new Uncarrier event. These sporadic events are where the US wireless carrier announces big new changes to its services. Unsurprisingly, the big announcements revolve around 5G.
The biggest boon for customers is a new long-term promotion called The Free 5G Phone Upgrade. The promotion — which starts April 18 and lasts all the way until the end of 2021 — allows anyone to trade in a working phone and geta 5G-capable phonein return.

To start, you can bring a working phone to a T-Mobile store and the reps there will hand you aSamsung Galaxy A32. Throughout the year, the free phone on offer might change, but the promotion won’t. T-Mobile will accept any working phone of any kind and from any year.
This free phone promotion ties in nicely with another new offer…
The Great Unlimited 5G Trade-Up
T-Mobile’s second announcement today is the launch of The Great Unlimited 5G Trade-Up. This promotion goes after currentAT&TandVerizoncustomers who either have zero or limited access to 5G. If you’re one of the 60 million Americans on a limited data plan, you’re able to switch to T-Mobile and get an unlimited data plan — including unlimited 5G access — for the same or better price as what you’re paying now.
The limitations here are you can only have up to six lines and you will need to prove what you currently pay to AT&T or Verizon. Bringing a recent bill to a T-Mobile store will do the trick. If you don’t verify within two weeks of signing up, your plan will default to the Essentials plan at full price (currently $26 per line for a four-line account).
Thankfully, this promotion also applies to current T-Mobile customers. If you are currently on a limited postpaid T-Mobile plan, you will get upgraded to an unlimited plan at no extra cost. Prepaid customers won’t see any changes, though.
The Great Unlimited 5G Trade-Up also starts on April 18 and lasts throughout all of 2021. These promotions work hand-in-hand, too, meaning you may take advantage of both if you fit all the criteria.
