How to Get a Free Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra at T-Mobile

If you missed T-Mobile's iPhone 17 promotion earlier this year, the carrier is offering a massive second chance. To celebrate the March 11 launch of the Galaxy S26 series, T-Mobile has officially launched its most aggressive Android promotion to date.

You can now secure up to $1,300 OFF the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra or S26+. Here is the fastest way to claim your device online.

The Offers: Which One Fits You?

T-Mobile has split its "On Us" deals into two distinct paths based on your plan preference. Both offers are available to new and existing customers.

The "Ultra" Path

The standout deal is for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Because this is T-Mobile’s "biggest Android growth moment," they have lowered the barrier to entry. If you are a new customer joining the Experience Beyond plan, you can get the $1,300 credit with no trade-in required. Existing customers can grab the same value by adding a line and trading in a phone in any condition.

The "Plus" Path

If you’re eyeing the Galaxy S26+, you’ll need to be on the Experience More plan. This offer requires a device trade-in but covers the full $1,100 retail value of the phone, leaving you with a $0 monthly device payment.

Switching Made Simple: The "15-Minute" Rule

T-Mobile is actively trying to kill the "trip to the mall." Their new "15-Minutes to Better" campaign allows you to handle the entire switch through the T-Life app.

• Rate Lock: Sign up now and your monthly rate is guaranteed for 5 years.
• Digital Switch: No physical SIM cards or store lines—everything is handled via eSIM and the app.

How to Claim the Deal

These promotions are live following the February 25 announcement and March 11 launch. However, "On Us" offers are historically limited time.

To lock in your $1,300 savings, head over tot-mobile.comor open the T-Life app to check your trade-in eligibility and start the 15-minute porting process.
