BELLEVUE, Wash. — August 12, 2020 — Try before you bye. T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) today announced one of its original Un-carrier moves — Test Drive — is now welcoming businesses with the No-Risk Network Trial for business. When it comes to something as critical as wireless, no business should have to buy before they try, and with T-Mobile, they don’t have to. With this move, any business can try the Un-carrier’s bigger, better nationwide network for free for up to 30 days, before they switch. And, to sweeten the switch, starting August 14, T-Mobile will offer business customers a Samsung Galaxy A51 5G for free and 90-days of free service and pay off up to $650 from a previous provider! Plus, T-Mobile is launching a major ad campaign underscoring the T-Mobile Business Advantage — no more trade-offs between network, support and value.
“For the hundreds of thousands of businesses all over the country struggling to stay afloat, saving money has never been more important. We want them to know, with T-Mobile, you don’t have to choose between a powerful network, unmatched support and incredible value,” said, Mike Katz, Executive Vice President, T-Mobile for Business. “We’re so confident in the strength of our network, we want you to try it for free. Come on over, let us show you what being part of the magenta family is all about.”
This amped up Un-carrier move is the latest in significant growth and investment in T-Mobile for Business. At the company’s earnings announcement last week, T-Mobile announced it has surpassed AT&T and is now America’s #2 wireless provider, crediting T-Mobile for Business for most of the company’s postpaid over-performance this quarter.
T-Mobile’s new media campaign — running across TV, web and digital — showcases the T-Mobile Business Advantage and the end of businesses having to choose between a great network, great service and great value. With T-Mobile, businesses can expect:

And, with a $40B planned investment in network and business improvements over the next three years, the Un-carrier is working to supercharge innovation and connect businesses and communities throughout the country.
