Available today only via the T-Life app or through Costco app is the 11" 128GB Apple iPad (A16) for free with qualifying data plan through 36 months of bill credits. Costco sweetens the offer with a waived device connection charge (up to $35) and a $25 Costco shop card. The 25GB Data Tablet with Beyond Savings 2.0 Plan is $5 with Go5G Next, Better Value, or Experience Beyond accounts. Term is for 36 months so it will cost you $5x36= $180 for the term of the contract plus sales tax and fees. Upfront costs for me were $52.50 for the sales tax.
Costco instructions: visit https://www.costco.com/f/-/t-mobi...d-showcase and scroll down to "Get $25 when you purchase a new watch or tablet and activate a new line," it will then start a Costco/T-Mobile shopping session.

This T Mobile iPad deal is aimed at customers on qualifying higher tier plans, especially the $5 tablet line tied to Experience Beyond, Better Value, or Go5G Next. The appeal is the 11 inch A16 iPad with monthly bill credits that can offset the device charge over 36 months. The main catch is that checkout behavior varies by account, with some seeing the $5 plan rejected, higher monthly charges, or unexpected due today amounts instead of the advertised zero upfront cost. The financing also appears tied to keeping the tablet line active, so canceling early can leave the remaining balance due.
