T-Mobile U.S. offers $200 to switch from a BlackBerry to a Samsung phone

On the day that the Samsung Galaxy S5 goes on sale worldwide and two weeks from T-Mobile’s license to sell BlackBerry phones expiring, T-Mobile U.S. has teamed up with Samsung to bring BlackBerry owners another special deal.

You can upgrade a T-Mobile branded BlackBerry phone to a new Samsung smartphone at T-Mobile, and receive a gift card worth as much as $200.

T-Mobile BlackBerry customers:  T-Mobile and Samsung are teaming up to bring you a winning deal.

Ready to make a change and upgrade your T-Mobile BlackBerry to a new Samsung phone? Now’s a great time to get a new Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy Light, or even the brand-new Galaxy S 5. Simply upgrade your T-Mobile BlackBerry to a new Samsung phone, and we’ll give you a gift card for up to $200.

Timing it now that the Samsung Galaxy S5 is available on T-Mobile is another clever move by the carrier.

T-Mobile says that it will continue to offer this deal through the end of the year.

“Our message to BlackBerry customers everywhere:

Just like every T-Mobile customer, you can count on the very best customer service, no annual service contracts, the fastest nationwide 4G LTE network – everything.

But, if you’re ready to make a change now, you can get a $100 gift card when you upgrade your BlackBerry to any new smartphone. Need more time? This offer will be available for the remainder of the year.”
