If you’ve been thinking about switching your cell phone service in the new year, AT&T has a deal for you. Switch, and the company will pay you some cash. For T-Mobile customers, the deal is especially sweet: AT&T is willing to pay you up to $450 to switch.
“Beginning Jan. 3, under the limited-time offer, T-Mobile customers who switch to AT&T can trade-in their current smartphone for a promotion card of up to $250, which can be used toward AT&T products and services,” the company explained. “Trade-in values will vary based on make, model and age of the smartphone, but many of the latest and most popular smartphones will qualify for a value of $250. T-Mobile customers can receive an additional $200 credit per line when they transfer their wireless service to AT&T and choose an AT&T Next plan, buy a device at full retail price or activate a device they currently own.”
The AT&T offer is meant to boost interest in its new no-contract Mobile Share Value plans, which offer a $15-per-month discount if you already own your device. Ultimately, you’ll likely spend more for the AT&T service than with T-Mobile, but it is a higher quality network for 4G LTE data communications.

The offer of AT&T looks attractive but it is not easy to get it. Still there are few catches…. People are smart, AT&T customers will go over toT Mobile, and then switch back for the credit within 14 days, att can’t verify account ownership time. They will basically just lose a ton of cash on tmobile… Again…T-Mobile will also announce a big relief at CES-2014…. The main attraction of T-Mobile is its cheaper unlimited plans which AT&T don’t . we should wait till next week before Jump…. www.telecomvibe.com
