What is T-Mobile Keep and Switch?
T-Mobile's Keep and Switch is a special offer to help you pay off your phone so you can switch carriers. T-Mobile knows that some carriers use device installments to lock customers into pricey long-term plans. You may want to switch, but paying off your phone is too expensive, forcing you to stay.
With Keep and Switch, T-Mobile will give you up to $800 to help pay off your current device's installment plan so you can switch to T-Mobile. It includes plans from eligible postpaid carriers like:
- AT&T
- Verizon
- Spectrum Mobile
- Xfinity Mobile
- UScellular
- Claro
- Liberty Mobile (Puerto Rico)
Keep and Switch works with all of T-Mobile's most popular postpaid plans, including Essentials, Experience More, and Experience Beyond. You could even switch to the Essentials Saver plan and get service for as low as $50/month.
All you have to do is pay off your phone, and T-Mobile will send you a virtual prepaid card to reimburse the cost. You'll keep both your phone and number and get access to T-Mobile's incredible 5G network, the largest in the nation. This offer can be applied to up to four lines, making it incredibly affordable to move your entire family plan to T-Mobile's service.
If your plan is with a carrier that's not listed, you may still qualify for up to $400 back if you switch to one of T-Mobile's Experience More or Experience Beyond plans.
How to bring your own device to T-Mobile and get paid
Switching to T-Mobile and bringing your own device is easy, and you don't even need to visit a store. The whole process can be completed online or in the T-Life app at your own convenience.
For most carriers, all you have to do is:
- Check your device's eligibility with T-Mobile's IMEI checker.
- Screenshot your phone's outstanding balance from your current carrier.
- Pay off your balance.
- Request a device unlock from your current carrier's network.
- Select your new T-Mobile plan and activate it using your current phone number.
- Submit the screenshot of your balance to T-Mobile for a rebate.
