To try and lure customers from Verizon and AT&T the carrier will be offering a “zero cost to switch” promotion that will grant those who are financing a phone to switch to T-Mobile and have it mask up to $650 per line off of the previous installment plan while letting you keep the phone. Like the discounted rate the switcher coffers is a “limited time” deal, but Staneff wouldn’t converse how long the time period would last, saying only that it will be near “until we change it going forward.”
