T-Mobile’s new deal offers a double bonus for Android fans | Official Website of Louis Velazquez, entrepreneur, finance guy and tech innovator

T-Mobile has made some controversial decisions lately, some of which may have cost the company customers.

In its first-quarter earnings report for 2025, the “Un-carrier” revealed that its customer churn was up five basis points year-over-year. That’s the number who quit their service, and, obviously, it’s not a good number for the company.

T-Mobile did add customers, though, but only 495,000 new people signed up for a postpaid plan in the first quarter of 2025. That’s 6% fewer than the number who committed to get their phone service from the carrier during the same time period in 2024.

Customers may have been angry about T-Mobile raising the price of some legacy plans, and adding higher Regulatory Programs & Telco Recovery Fees. Customers have also had other issues to be mad about more recently as well, including the carrier publishing mainline plan prices on its Experience plans without including taxes for the first time since 2017.

Still, T-Mobile isn’t making all bad moves, and now, it seems like the company has been rolling out a host of generous offers in order to bring phone users back on board and get them to sign up again. One of those offers is now targeted towards Android users, and it offers a double bonus.

If you’re an Android fan, T-Mobile has a great offer for you.

New T-Mobile offer goes beyond just a free phone

T-Mobile’s new deal offers an unusual perk for Android phones that you don’t often see among phone giveaways.

Specifically, the company has decided to give away more than just a phone. The company is giving away both a free Google Pixel 9a and Pixel Buds A-Series, which is a great pair of wireless earphones to go with your new phone device. Even better, you can get both the phone and the earbuds with no requirement that you trade in an existing device.

This deal is open to T-Mobile customers who want to add a line to their account with an eligible data plan. The good news is, the majority of the plans that the “Un-carrier” currently offers will allow you to get the maximum credit when adding a plan, so most people who want the deal and who need to add a new line to their service will be able to get it.

Not only that, but the $35 activation fee is also being waived for a limited period of time. The result: Two free devices at virtually no cost. Of course, like pretty much all deals for cell phones, you will get the free devices in the form of a statement credit distributed over 24 months.

The Pixel 9a is a great phone option, and the airbuds are a nice bonus

While the Pixel 9a is a mid-range device, it is still a feature-packed phone that’s more than good enough for money T-Mobile users.

You’ll get a top-notch camera, as well as access to Gemini AI, as well as a Tensor G4 chipset that provides plenty of power. The 6.3-inch AMOLED display, which some reviewers describe as one of the brightest displays they’ve ever seen, and the 5,100mAh battery provide long battery life, which users appreciate.

As for the bonus airbuds, Pixel Buds A-Series are integrated with Google Assistant to allow for hands-free control, they set up and pair easily with Android devices, and they are water resistant. The 12mm dynamic drivers also provide clear sound, although some reviews complain it’s not loud enough and lament the lack of noise cancellation features.

All-in-all, the devices are good ones, and you can’t really go wrong with getting two things free so if you’re an Android user and have been thinking of pulling the trigger on adding a new line to your T-Mobile account, now may be the time.
