Looking to upgrade your phone? Metro by T-Mobile is offering a substantial discount on the Samsung Galaxy S25, bringing the price down to just $249.99 for those with an older Galaxy device.

This deal represents a $550 savings, a staggering 69% reduction from the phone's original price of $799. To snag this offer, customers need to activate a high-tier Metro plan – $60/month with AutoPay, or $65 for the first month – and provide their phone number.

What's included in the discount?

The Metro plan comes loaded with features: unlimited talk and text, high-speed 5G data, a five-year price guarantee, 25GB of hotspot data, and 100GB of Google One cloud storage. Data speeds range from 127 to 455 Mbps, though speeds may slow down after 70GB of usage.

Beyond the phone itself, the top-tier plan includes Amazon Prime membership, HD video streaming, and Scam Shield, a valuable tool for combating fraudulent calls.

The Galaxy S25 itself boasts a 6.2-inch OLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip. This combination promises a fluid and responsive user experience, capable of handling demanding applications with ease.

The offer also extends to new Visible subscribers. New members porting an eligible carrier can receive $5 off the $35/month Visible+ plan or $5 off the $45/month Visible+ Pro plan for 60 months by using the code 5OFF5 at checkout.

This Metro deal is a compelling option for those seeking a powerful smartphone at a significantly reduced cost. It’s a strong incentive to consider upgrading, especially if you're coming from an older Samsung device.
