T-Mobile promotion to offer free phones

[June 15, 2010]  SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- T-Mobile plans to give free phones to customers who sign up for group calling plans at its retail stores on Saturday -- just days before rival At&T will start selling Apple's latest iPhone.

The wireless carrier said Tuesday that throughout Saturday, beginning at 8 a.m., new customers will be able to get free handsets of their choice by signing up for a two-year "family plan," which is calling plan that has at least two users. Current T-Mobile customers can convert a single-user plan into a family plan by adding at least one user, or adding lines to a family plan they already have. You can get up to five free phones with a single family plan, though each will come with a two-year contract.
