Recall the roses and candy: T-Mobile and Verizon are turning on the Valentine's Day charm with intimate phone and data service promotions aimed at technology lovers.
On Feb. 11 and Feb. 12, T-Expressive retail stores will offer any of the operator's phones for free to buyers signing up for a qualifying two-year contract. Customers can favoured from T-Mobile's portfolio of 30 devices, no phones excluded, though the phones will only be available while supplies last. Even the T-Plastic Springboard 4G tablet will be offered for free with a contract. The Android-based troche's suggested retail price is $429.99, though the operator has recently been selling it for $249.99 after an second discount and rebate.
Existing T-Mobile customers who have been with the operator for less than 18 months cannot get in on the pre-Valentine's Day specials, but they are being offered the odds to migrate to a less pricey monthly Value Plan. T-Mobile will impediment migration fees based on the time remaining on a customer's popular contract, with customers who have had a contract for seven months or less needing to pay $200 to shift to a Value Project. Savings can add up over time, however, as a Value Plan with unlimited data, talk and topic costs only $59.99 per month vs. a comparable Classic Plan, which costs $79.99 per month.
