T-Mobile‘s “Keep & Switch” promotion getting upgrade, users can get up to $800 back
T-Mobile’s “Keep & Switch” promotion is under development. Now, consumers who switch to “Uncarrier” can receive $800 back with a prepaid discount card.
The bonus, which is only offered for a limited period of time, allows customers switching from a competing network to receive a discount card to eliminate the cost of paying for their devices.
Switchers simply pay for their device with their old manager before switching to T-Mobile and then post the credit showing the amount paid on the T-Mobile website. They will then receive a discount card for that amount via email, up to $800, in about 14 days.

The Keep & Switch promotion began back in June 2020. At that time, only people who switched from AT&T or Verizon were eligible, but that list has expanded over time to include Spectrum, Xfinity, US Cellular, Claro, and more recently, Boost.
All major T-Mobile programs are eligible, including all Magenta programs and even discounted programs such as initial feedback and 55+ programs. Only select devices from Apple, Google, and Samsung that are eligible, however.
In addition to the rebate, switching customers will be eligible for the “Zero Cost to Switch” promotion as well, which eliminates all sponsorship fees associated with adding lines.
Customers interested in making the most of the Keep & switch promotion can do so at the T-Mobile store or online. The amount of the bonus is for a limited time only. For more information, visit the T-Mobile site here.

The campaign showcases the power of Samsung’s unique technology – a combination of art and technology to offer consumers a personalized and immersive audio experience.
The Movie IP partnership will also be extended into retail partners featuring 8k and 4k trailer content, as well as Soundbar experiences with tracks from the soundtrack.

Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
Samsung could pack the Galaxy Z Flip FE and Z Flip 7 with Exynos processors. The company could launch its first affordable foldable phone next year. The device could get a different camera and processor from the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
Leaker Jukanlosreve revealed that Samsung could use the Exynos 2400e in the Galaxy Z Flip FE and Exynos 2500 in the Galaxy Z Flip 7. The former Exynos variant powers the Galaxy S24 FE, while the Exynos 2500 is an upcoming product.
Samsung previously intended to use Exynos 2500 in the Galaxy S25 series. However, the chip has a major performance difference from its Snapdragon counterpart. This led the company to solely rely on the Snapdragon 8 Elite for the S25 series.
Exynos 2500 is being manufactured using Samsung Foundry’s 3nm process node. The yield rate is quite low (around 20%), which is far from the production threshold. However, Samsung chose the path to produce the chip at such a low yield rate.
Exynos 2400 has proven to be a decent chip with no frustrating flaws. The Exynos 2400e could be used in the Z Flip FE. The “e” model could be made using IPoP (Integrated Package on Package) tech, which is cheaper than the standard method.
Recently, a Korean media outlet reported that Samsung Foundry has started mass production of a 3nm Exynos 2500 chip. It was initially intended to be used in the S25 and S25 Plus, but issues pushed it towards the second-half debut in the Z Flip 7.
