When you obtain a new phone, we’ll pay off your ETFs and device payments (up to $650) with a trade-in credit and virtual prepaid card. You’ll also never have to sign another annual servicing contract.
Is ETF available on T-Mobile?
The Early Termination Fee (ETF) reimbursement offer is available to those who want to migrate to T-Mobile. Follow the steps below to get started: To begin, transfer your phone(s), trade them in, and get a bill credit based on the market worth of your qualified device.
Is ETF covered by ATT?
AT&T is providing up to $650 in cash to entice mobile subscribers to move from their current carriers to AT&T. Customers must purchase a new smartphone from AT&T and begin a new line of service with a qualifying plan on an AT&T Next installment plan. They must also transfer their phone number from their previous provider. Then they’ll have to trade in their old smartphone. Finally, the new subscriber must provide a copy of their carrier’s final bill to AT&T.
In exchange, AT&T will pay up to $650 per transferred line. Customers’ ETF from their previous carrier will be covered up to $350, or the remainder of an installment plan on the phone will be covered up to $650. The phone’s trade-in value will be subtracted from AT&T’s payment, and the balance will be paid with a promotional prepaid card.
Is it worthwhile to transfer from Verizon to T-Mobile?
- Choose T-Mobile if you’re on a tight budget. At every tier of service, T-Mobile provides less expensive unlimited plans than Verizon. Verizon is actually preferable if you’re seeking for a non-unlimited data plan (we would also recommend these plans).
- Pick Verizon if you’re a data glutton. T-Mobile has a 50 GB data cap, while Verizon has a huge 75 GB data cap. On Verizon, you can go crazy with data.
- T-Mobile is the best option for travelers. In most countries, T-Mobile offers unlimited text and data. Free in-flight texting and Wi-Fi are also included.
- Choose Verizon if you live in the country. Verizon has a considerably greater coverage of rural locations around the United States.
- T-Mobile is for speed freaks. T-Mobile presently outperforms Verizon in terms of download and upload speeds.
Should I switch to ATT from T-Mobile?
T-Mobile and AT&T are in a close race, but we have to give T-Mobile the win because of its lower unlimited plans and faster data speeds. Although AT&T provides superior coverage, its plans cost $5–$10 extra per month. Despite the fact that we favor T-Mobile to AT&T because of its lower cost, you may choose the latter due to its higher performance.
So, which do you value more: having a lower monthly bill or somewhat better performance? Do you have strong views towards T-Mobile or AT&T? Please let us know in the comments section below.
What are my options for getting out of a two-year phone contract?
The penalties charged by cell phone carriers for early cancellation are exorbitant! Most companies charge between $150 and $200 to terminate a contract before it is completed. In the past, I was able to get out of a Verizon cell phone contract by moving my number and contract to a buddy. I was able to avoid paying the $175 Early Termination Fee because I was able to prevent it (ETF). There are various different ways to get out of a cell phone contract without paying anything, and given the present state of the market, some cell phone companies will even pay your termination cost if you sign up with them! (A few offers are shown here.)
Here are a few options for getting out of a cell phone contract without having to pay an Early Termination Fee.
Is it true that T-Mobile will pay off your phone?
What’s new: When you go to T-Mobile, they’ll pay off any balance you owe the carriers for your smartphone up to $1,000.
Why does it matter? AT&T and Verizon have spent millions (billions?) of dollars to provide 5G to their consumers, yet those customers must be wondering, “Where is the 5G?”
T-Mobile is responding to them. Customers who convert to Essentials will be able to pay off their phone, save up to 20% on their monthly family plan, and enjoy nearly 100% greater 5G coverage.
Who it’s for: Customers of AT&T and Verizon who are paying more for less 5G coverage.
Q: Where is the 5G? BELLEVUE, Wash. — October 21, 2021 — A: I work for T-Mobile. T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) stated today that the Un-carrier will now pay the Carriers up to $1,000 for your qualified smartphone. Beginning Friday, October 22, consumers and small businesses may bring their beloved 5G-phones-with-less-5G-coverage-than-they-deserve to T-Mobile and get the 5G they’ve been looking for… PLUS a virtual prepaid MasterCard worth up to $1,000 for each of up to five devices.
“Customers with brand-new 5G phones on AT&T and Verizon frequently find themselves without 5G coverage; according to third-party tests, AT&T customers get a 5G signal less than half of the time (44.8 percent) they use their phone, and Verizon customers only about a third of the time (34.3 percent),” said Jon Freier, T-Consumer Mobile’s Group President. “Now, those customers may transfer to T-Mobile, and we’ll pay off up to $1,000 of what they owe the Carriers for their smartphone — plus they’ll save up to 20% on their family plan and receive significantly more 5G coverage.”
Today, nearly half of all Americans believe their smartphone will not operate with another carrier. That was true once, but those days are long gone. The most popular smartphones now work across many network providers… even if other networks aren’t providing customers with the same level of service. T-Mobile customers benefit from America’s largest, fastest, and most reliable 5G network, which is nearly twice the size of AT&T’s and four times the size of Verizon’s.
When compared to AT&T and Verizon’s basic unlimited plans, T-Mobile Essentials can save your family up to 20% on monthly wireless service. It’s merely $27 per line/mo (plus taxes and fees) for four lines with your third line free – a savings of $420 a year over the Carriers — and you’ll get:
- With Scam Shield Premium, you get an unrivaled range of free tools to protect yourself from frauds and nuisance robocalls.
Bring your phone into T-Mobile, along with a photo of your most recent bill, starting Friday, October 22, and T-Mobile will pay off your remaining eligible device payments up to $1,000 through virtual prepaid MasterCard.

Will AT&T buy out my Verizon contract?
AT&T has unveiled a new switching offer for potential customers, promising to reimburse your early termination and device payment fees if you switch to its postpaid plans.
You can get up to $650 back for each line you move to AT&T if you’re an existing Verizon, Sprint, or T-Mobile subscriber. You must move your number and service to AT&T and purchase a brand new device on the AT&T Next early upgrade plan to be eligible.
Activate your phone on a new postpaid line and trade in your old phone for AT&T store credit or an AT&T promotion card for the trade-in value of your phone (minimum $10). After you’ve set up your new AT&T account, you’ll need to submit your prior carrier’s final statement to AT&T using this link.
If you have to pay any early termination fees or final device payments to transfer to AT&T, you’ll receive an AT&T Visa prepaid gift card in the amount you paid (minus the trade-in value of your old devices). The carrier is offering up to $650 back for each line you port, which is comparable to T-Mobile, Sprint, and even Verizon’s incentives.
Buy one smartphone, get one free
Customers who switch to AT&T can combine the trade-in offer with the company’s newly announced “buy one, get one free” smartphone promotion. If you purchase an eligible Samsung Galaxy or Apple iPhone device on AT&T Next for a new line of service or an upgrade (for existing customers), you will receive a second qualified handset from the same brand for free.
The Samsung Galaxy S6, Samsung Galaxy S6 edge, Samsung Galaxy S6 edge +, Samsung Galaxy S6 Active, and Samsung Galaxy Note 5 are among the Android devices included. The iPhone 6s is included in the offer for Apple users.
The promotion does have some restrictions: you must purchase your second device through AT&T’s Next 24 program, which stretches payments out over a 30-month period. You must also use your free phone to activate a new line of service on a qualifying postpaid plan, such as Mobile Share Value.
Customers must pay tax on both phones at the point of sale, but you will get account credit for the monthly value of the second, ‘free’ handset within three billing cycles. Reimbursement credits will be given out every month over the course of 30 bill cycles, so you might get up to $21.67 back each month (for a total of $650).
