T-Mobile will apparently give you a free Pixel phone AND some earbuds this month — here’s how to claim yours

The Google Pixel 10a has only been out since March 5th, but there’s already a new T-Mobile deal that’ll get you the midrange masterpiece for FREE with very little hassle. For a limited time, if you add a line with “most plans” on the carrier’s site, you’ll be eligible for a free Google Pixel 10a AND a pair of Pixel Buds 2a earbuds, no trade-in required.

That’s over $600 of free Pixel goodies, and all you have to do is add a wireless line to your T-Mobile account. Both new and existing customers are eligible, making this one of the most compelling T-Mobile deals that I’ve seen all year. 

Typically retailing for around $499.99, the Google Pixel 10a is a cheap Android phone that comes packed full of flagship-level specs, such as a stunning 6.3-inch pOLED display, lightning-fast charging speeds, and a seven-year software promise. 

The inclusion of the last-gen Tensor G4 chipset was a bit of a head-scratcher at launch, but the phone still performs as well as any midrange device on the market, and it’s likely the reason why Google was able to keep the Pixel 10a at the same price as its predecessor. 

The phone also features a ton of handy AI-boosted software features straight out of the box, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find another device with cameras this good in this price range.

What’s the catch?

Although the retail price of the devices will be covered by T-Mobile, you’ll still need to pay the $35 activation fee for the Pixel phone along with any applicable sales tax. Naturally, you’ll also need to pay for the wireless plan. These unlimited plans generally start around $50-$60 for a single line, but you can drop that price considerably by using AutoPay or adding multiple lines.
