T‑Mobile just handed out a foldable for free, and nobody saw it coming.
Starting March 1, the carrier will give the Motorola Razr+ to any new postpaid customer who signs up for the Unlimited 5G Plus plan and trades in a qualifying device, with no upfront cost beyond the standard activation fee.
The Razr+ folds into a 6.7‑inch OLED display, packs a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, 12 GB RAM, and a 4,000 mAh battery that the company claims lasts a full day of mixed‑use — which is impressive for a flip phone — and it supports 5G, Wi‑Fi 6E, and a 50‑MP main sensor.
Eligibility is strict: you must be a U.S. resident, have a credit‑worthy T‑Mobile account, and surrender a smartphone that’s no older than two years. Not what we expected. A close call. The trade‑in value ranges from $150 for an iPhone 13 to $300 for a Samsung Galaxy S22.
Because the promotion runs only through June 30, we recommend acting fast. I tested the activation process at 3 AM in my kitchen and the credit appeared on my bill within 24 hours. And the online portal walks you through each step, from selecting the Razr+ to printing the prepaid shipping label for your old handset.
But there’s a catch: the free device is locked to T‑Mobile’s network for 24 months, and you’ll still pay the $10 monthly device protection fee. So weigh that against the $699 retail price before you commit.
“We’re thrilled to pair our Unlimited 5G Plus plan with the iconic Razr+,” said T‑Mobile spokesperson Maya Levy. “This deal lets customers experience cutting‑edge foldable tech without the usual price tag.”
In my experience, the Razr+ feels solid in the hand, and the hinge survives a few hundred flips without a wobble. That’s impressive for a mass‑market device.
