The military member normally holds the account and must verify within 45 days of activation, and prepaid and government accounts do not qualify.

The cheapest way to buy T-Mobile as a veteran

The military discount is not always the lowest price. Compare it with these before you buy.

T-Mobile advertises $720 yearly savings for four Experience lines against corresponding regular plans. That is $60 monthly across the account, not $60 per line. Compare taxes, fees and device obligations too.

Device offers have separate compatibility and bill-credit rules.

Exchange availability has not been checked.
