Potential customers can visit T-Mobile's website to see if they're eligible.

In areas where T-Mobile is unable to open new stores, the company will have "Hometown Experts" that are the official T-Mobile representative in a community. T-Mobile is hiring 2,500 Hometown Experts for small towns.

T-Mobile today also announced a trade-in program for a free iPhone 12 with the trade-in of an ‌iPhone‌ 11, half off an ‌iPhone‌ 12 with the trade-in of older ‌iPhone‌ models ranging from ‌iPhone‌ 7 to ‌iPhone‌ X, and half off the iPhone 12 mini with the trade-in of any older ‌iPhone‌.

That was my first thought, you can get gig internet for $10 - 15 more. I'm paying $60 for quadruple the speed.
FYI, there are 10's of millions of people in this country (like me) that still don't have access to broadband let alone gig internet.

I got it as a backup line in case ATT Fiber ever goes down (and it's month to month, so I may just cancel at some point...really just wanted to try it). I'm in central Dallas (TX) and get around 300mb/s symmetrical through it, with <30ms latency (have seen that spike to 50ms on like...friday afternoons). The little router is pretty good (I believe it's Wifi 6), it has an analog phone port for phone service (not offered yet), and the app has a current disabled option to add mesh units they may offer later on for large houses. Could easily be someones main internet and routing equipment where fiber is not available, since the upload speeds are far better than spectrum and the latency is similar to cable.

Always avoid Autopay when possible. Once you let a corporation into your bank account, it's difficult to get them out. They can take your money (i.e. after service cancellation or in the event of disputes) and the burden is on you to try and get it back. When you pay through traditional invoice/payment, YOU are always in control - if there is a dispute, you don't pay and they have to try and get it.
Anyone with half a brain doesn't allow direct access to a checking/savings account with or without autopay. There are these devices called debit and credit cards, or PayPal.
