Our Verdict
Nice bonus for signing up. It’s not live yet, so we might have some of the details wrong, let’s see when it goes live tomorrow.
This stacks with the regular $400 BYOD rebate offer. See this comment.
Switching carriers is a pain in the neck, but a great deal for someone who is anyway signing up with T-Mobile. It might be possible to stack this with a shopping portal as well.
