Previously, she was a writer and editor at MUO.T-Mobile is launching a new financing option that will allow you to pay for a device, taxes, and fees over 36 months. In an update on Tuesday, T-Mobile says its new Equipment Installment Plan (EIP) Flex 36 requires no upfront payment and will come with a 0 percent APR for a limited time.Even if you are financing a device, carriers typically require you to pay sales tax, an activation fee, or a down payment at checkout. T-Mobile says its new plan eliminates that by allowing you to pay off all of these costs over time — though its website notes only “well-qualified customers” will pay $0 upfront. The EIP Flex 36 financing option is available for phones, watches, and tablets, and can also be combined with T-Mobile’s device promotions.It’s not clear how much someone who isn’t “well-qualified” will pay, or when the 0 percent APR offer expires. The Verge reached out to T-Mobile with a request for more information but didn’t immediately hear back.T-Mobile is introducing a 36-month option for its standard 0 percent financing plan as well, which was previously only available for 24 months. The carrier is also adding new Student Perks plans, starting at $30 / line per month with autopay enabled.Follow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Emma RothCloseEmma RothNews WriterPosts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All by Emma RothMobileCloseMobilePosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All MobileNewsCloseNewsPosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All NewsT-MobileCloseT-MobilePosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All T-MobileTechCloseTechPosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All TechMost PopularMost PopularMicrosoft is bringing Xbox 360 games to PCYou could be taking way better photos on your phoneBluesky’s new CEO wants a big tent, not a bubbleVideoThe studio behind Pokémon struggles to find its voice in Beast of ReincarnationBig Walk is like co-op Breath of the WildThe Verge DailyA free daily digest of the news that matters most.Email (required)Sign UpBy submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice.
