an iPhone Duo at T-Mobile<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall\">If you sign up for an Experience Beyond plan, T-Mobile will credit you $1,200. To qualify, you need to purchase the iPhone Duo and sign up for the Experience Beyond 2.0 plan for 36 months if you\u2019re a new customer, or sign up for the Experience Beyond 2.0, Experience Beyond, or Go5G Next plans if you\u2019re an existing T-Mobile customer and not already enrolled in another payment plan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Here\u2019s how the actual deal works.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">You don\u2019t get $1,200 upfront. Instead, T-Mobile spreads that amount across 36 monthly credits on your bill. For the 256-GB base model, for example, you\u2019ll pay $22.22 a month for the phone on top of the monthly plan; those payments total about $800 over three years, plus the Experience Beyond 2.0 plan is $100 a month, excluding taxes and fees. The deal doesn\u2019t apply when you pay in full or choose a cheaper plan. If you hate expensive contracts, this isn\u2019t for you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">T-Mobile offers several other incentives for the iPhone Duo, including $1,200 off with trade-in or $1,000 off for seniors, military personnel, students, and first responders.
