Metro, a prepaid carrier owned by T-Mobile, now provides the Samsung Galaxy A17 5G smartphone without any charge for the device itself. This promotion started on January 15, 2026, according to reports from tech sites like SamMobile and Sammy Fans.
How the Deal Works
Customers who activate Metro’s $40 monthly service plan receive the Galaxy A17 5G for free. The plan covers unlimited 5G data, unlimited talk, and unlimited text within the United States, with all taxes and fees included.
- No contracts are required.
- No credit check or ID is needed.
- No bill credits or activation fees apply.
- The phone becomes yours after signing up and activating the service.
This stands out because the Galaxy A17 5G normally retails for around $199. Other carriers offer it for low monthly payments, such as $2.99 per month at AT&T on unlimited plans.
Metro runs on T-Mobile’s network, so users get access to solid 5G coverage. The carrier focuses on prepaid options, allowing month-to-month flexibility.
