If you’ve been waiting to get your hands on the HTC One S or other T-Mobile “4G” smartphone, but you haven’t had enough cash in hand, you’re in luck. Today is the first day of T-Mobile’s new “zero down” promo, part of its ongoing Magenta Deal Days series of sales. Right now, the nation’s fourth largest carrier is offering its entire 4G lineup at no cost down, with a two year contract and qualifying Unlimited Value and Unlimited Nationwide 4G data plans.
What’s the catch? (There’s always a catch…)
Well, you still have to front the money, and then you’ll get reimbursed in 6-8 weeks. You also need to choose a Value plan, not a Classic plan, to take advantage of the deal. (Value plans are the ones that cost less per month, but charge you the unsubsidized price of phone through an added monthly charge for a certain amount of time.) You’ll still come out ahead on a Value plan, even paying the extra amount each month for the phone, and with this deal, it almost makes it feel like you’re getting the phone for free.
T-Mobile provided the following chart to illustrate how this deal will work. The EIP monthly payment represents the added charge you’ll see each month for 20 months.
So, if you’ve been waiting around to pick up that One S – or even a new Samsung Galaxy S III – is this promotion sweet enough to seal the deal?

anyone have t-mobile these days?? and if so how is their 4g really??
I have always wondered the same thing, how fast is T-Mobile 4G? They have all those silly commercials, it makes me wonder if they are trying to compensate for something.
Darn it, just purchased another S3 a few weeks ago. Should have waited.
This is awesome! I’m with Sprint right now but, if they keep raising their prices, I might have to step over to T-Mobile, especially since they have unlimited data now, too. That was one of the only things sprint had over T-Mobile.
