Metro by T-Mobile offers a free Samsung Galaxy A17 when you pair it with any 5G Unlimited plan starting at $40 per month. No trade-in required; taxes and fees included.

The only catch: as a prepaid carrier, Metro's service may be deprioritized after 35GB per month, so heavy data users could see slower speeds during congestion. Otherwise, it's a straightforward deal for unlimited talk, text, and data on T-Mobile's 5G network, plus a five-year price guarantee and T-Mobile Tuesdays discounts. Higher-tier plans add mobile hotspot data, Google One, and more—top-tier Unlimited Premium 5G is $60 per month, all-in.

The Samsung Galaxy A17 5G is a $200 phone with an upgraded camera, 6.7-inch AMOLED display, 5,000 mAh battery, and six years of software updates. It's not the most powerful phone, but for cheap, reliable wireless and a dependable device, this deal deserves attention.
