Back to school season is in full swing and if you’re looking for a mid-tier phone with an affordable data plan, you’ll want to check out the latest deal from Metro by T-Mobile.

For a limited time, you can get the Samsung Galaxy A37 for free at Metro by T-Mobile. Plus, you’ll get unlimited talk, text, and data for $40/month. You’ll need to bring your number to the carrier to get this deal, but otherwise there are no hidden fees or requirements. Additionally, this rate is locked in for 5 years.

The Galaxy A37 5G is a mid-range phone that delivers a premium experience at an affordable $429 price. It sports a vivid 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, you’ll find the Exynos 1480 chipset, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. It features a robust 50MP triple-camera setup with optical image stabilization. There’s also a 5000mAh battery.

Metro by T-Mobile is part of T-Mobile’s portfolio of brands. (It was formerly known as MetroPCS). The service is known for its budget-friendly plans. A common perception among customers is that one of the trade-offs you make when opting for prepaid phone service is diminished network performance. While it’s true that parent carriers reserve the right to slow down speeds of mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs), we’ve rarely seen much of a disparity over three years of networking testing.
