T-Mobile may not be selling the Google Pixel directly, but the Un-carrier today announced a new deal to tempt you to bring a Pixel to its network.
Starting October 28, T-Mobile will give you $325 in bill credits if you buy a Pixel and bring it to T-Mo. To qualify, you’ll need to buy a Pixel or Pixel XL from Google or anywhere else and then sign up for a T-Mobile One plan. You’ll then need to provide T-Mobile with your proof of purchase.
After you follow those steps, you’ll begin to receive 24 monthly bill credits worth $13.55 each. These will add up to $325, which is half the cost of a 32GB Google Pixel.
This is a limited time deal, so if you want to take advantage, you should order your Pixel as soon as possible. It’s worth noting that the Google Store is currently out of stock of several Pixel models, and those that it is selling are a couple of weeks away from shipping. You can also purchase a Pixel from Best Buy or Verizon, both of which are selling “Verizon” Pixels that come carrier unlocked.
Some T-Mobile customers were hoping that today’s news would be that T-Mo was planning to sell the Pixel directly so that they could buy it on EIP or JUMP! On Demand. That’s not the case, though, as Verizon has an “exclusive” on the Pixel phones. If you’re ok with signing up for a T-Mobile One plan and intend on sticking with the Un-carrier for a couple of years, this deal will take away some of the sting of the Pixel’s cost.
