The T-Mobile deal for the iPhone 18 Pro has been expanded to include a reduced price on the iPhone 18 Pro Max, alongside free subscriptions to Netflix and Hulu, roadside assistance, and a deeply discounted Apple TV subscription. The offer covers both new customers switching an eligible line or trading in a qualifying device, as well as existing customers who sign up for the Experience Beyond plan.
The Deal At A Glance
T-Mobile is offering the iPhone 18 Pro to people who switch to the carrier. New customers need to bring their current phone number and sign up for the Experience Beyond plan to receive it. People who already use T-Mobile can also get the phone by trading in an eligible device in any condition and then signing up for the same plan.
The discount comes through 36 monthly bill credits, and a $35 device connection charge applies. The iPhone 18 Pro Max is also eligible for up to $1,200 off when you trade in an eligible device.
The $1,299 iPhone 18 Pro Max works out to $99 before taxes and fees if you meet the conditions for the full $1,200 discount.
Plans And Perks
The company’s plan lineup runs from the Essentials plan up to the Experience More and Experience Beyond plans. Each tier covers unlimited talk and text, with the latter two adding unlimited data on top.
The Experience Beyond plan bundles the extras together. It brings Hulu and Netflix without any added charge, along with Apple TV for $3 per month. For baseball fans, it also delivers a free season-long MLB.TV subscription when it’s available — a combined yearly worth of $360.
T-Mobile offers new customers a free year of AAA coverage, alongside 12 months of DashPass by DoorDash to save on food orders. The plan includes 24/7 roadside assistance.
What You Get By Plan
| Plan | Data | Streaming | Apple TV | MLB.TV | Roadside Assistance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essentials | Unlimited | None | None | None | None |
| Experience More | Unlimited | None | None | None | None |
| Experience Beyond | Unlimited | Hulu + Netflix | $3/month | Free when available | Yes |
The Roadside Package
The most unusual part of the deal is its roadside assistance package. The plan includes one year of AAA membership, along with 12 months of DashPass by DoorDash for reduced food delivery costs.
During their first year on the plan, new customers receive everything included.
Comparing The Two Phones
Most people buy the iPhone 18 Pro, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max is the more sought-after model. Getting the discount on the larger phone, however, demands a trade-in.
“The $1,299 iPhone 18 Pro Max effectively comes down to $99 before taxes and fees.”
The calculation works out only when the person qualifies for the complete $1,200 discount. People who trade in a device that fails to meet the requirements receive a reduced credit instead.
What To Consider Before Switching
Carriers tend to resist customers moving away from them. The cost of switching includes the fee for connecting a new device, the loss of monthly credits across an entire year, and the trouble involved in transferring a phone number.
The deal is generous. Two major streaming services come with it, along with Apple TV at a steep discount, free access to baseball, roadside assistance, and delivery savings — all tied to a reduced price on a flagship phone.
Our View On The Offer
The arrangement pays off for those already considering a change, though it does nothing for someone doubtful about it. The $35 fee and the monthly credits slow down how quickly the savings arrive.
The package adds up for anyone already planning an upgrade. The iPhone 18 Pro Max at $99 is the headline, but the streaming and roadside value make the case.
