T-Mobile's CEO suggests that direct-to-cell Starlink service will be offered to those on its most expensive plans as a free perk. Others will be able to get it as a paid add-on.
T-Mobile customers can get the new Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus for free when you trade-in an eligible device in any condition and switch to the Go5G Next plan.

Plus, you'll get a free $50 Samsung credit. Likewise, you can get up to $700 off the Galaxy S25 Plus or up to $900 off the Galaxy S25 Ultra at Samsung.
