  "account": "T-Mobile is offering a limited-time opportunity to get the iPhone 17 for free this weekend. If you have an eligible phone and are on an Experience More or Experience Beyond plan, you can trade it in to receive the iPhone 17 without any additional cost. The Apple iPhone 17 Pro is also available for free by bringing your number over to an Experience Beyond plan, without needing to trade in a device. These deals are available through the weekend, but customers should be aware that they must pay local sales tax on the full retail value of the phone upfront, as well as a standard $35 device connection fee per line at checkout. The savings are then applied as monthly bill credits over 24 to 36 months. Despite soaring component costs and global RAM shortages driving up retail prices, this deal offers a significant discount on Apple's latest flagship phones.",
