If you’re looking for a gift other than a teddy bear and chocolates for Valentine’s Day, than look no further than T-Mobile. The un-carrier brought back the Tablet on Us promo and has discounted various Android phones and accessories for a limited time.

Buying a tablet with 4G LTE connectivity can be very expensive, but T-Mobile has you covered with the chance to get the Alcatel OneTouch Pixi 7 for free. This tablet normally goes for $168, but the $7 monthly payment for 24 months gets waived as long as you sign up for a 1GB postpaid Simple Choice mobile Internet plan or higher. Payments will appear on your bill each month, but will be credited as long as you maintain the plan. All you will have to cover is the sales tax.

The Pixi 7 is a mid-range Android tablet with specs that won’t wow you, but it’s a good starter tablet. It has a 7-inch display with a rather low resolution of 960 x 540, and it sports a MediaTek quad-core processor. T-Mobile doesn’t specify the internal storage, but we believe it’s only 4GB. The good news, however, is that you can easily add up to 32GB of extra storage with a MicroSD card.

T-Mobile doesn’t say when this deal will end, but we presume it could extend just to Valentine’s Day.

If the Pixi 7 isn’t your thing, you can get a $50 discount off of the iPad Air 2 using promo code SWEETDEAL50. This brings the pricing down to $580 (16GB), $680 (64GB), and $780 (128GB) after discounts. This deal ends February 11.

If it’s a phone you’re looking for. The Un-carrier is offering $40 discounts off of the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime, Galaxy Grand Prime, and LG G Stylo using the same SWEETDEAL50 code as the iPad Air 2 offer. The pricing after discounts for these is $100, $150, and $215, respectively. You have until February 11 for this deal as well.

If both you and your sweetie need a phone, you can opt to buy two phones and get the second at one-half off. You have your choice of either the LG G4 or V10, as well as the Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge Plus, and Note 5. We’re not sure when this deal ends, but it makes sense to get on it sooner rather than later.

Last but not least, if your sweetie already has a phone and a tablet, T-Mobile has a few discounts on accessories. Right now you can use promo code BEATS20 to get 20 percent off of Beats headsets. You can also use PURE30 for to get 30 percent off of the PureGear lightning cable and 12W wall charger. Finally, you can get $10 off of the LG Tone Pro 760 stereo Bluetooth headset and Sunpack Bluetooth selfie wand using code BLUE10 and SELFIE, respectively.

T-Mobile’s newest plans are exciting for new (and old) customers

T-Mobile has just unveiled a new set of plans and perks to help both new and current customers break free of lengthy device contracts while guaranteeing you'll be able to get the best deals available on phone upgrades every two years.

Significantly, with the new plans, the "Un-carrier" promises equal treatment for all customers, whether they're coming over from another carrier or have been using T-Mobile's services for years. That's in contrast to the limited-time offers of its rivals, which often ignore their most loyal subscribers in an effort to entice others to switch carriers.

T-Mobile’s 5G is still unmatched — but have speeds plateaued?

Each time a new analysis of mobile network performance gets published, it’s almost a given that we’ll see T-Mobile leading the pack in terms of delivering the fastest 5G speeds. After all, the “Un-carrier” had a massive lead in deploying its 5G networks — and it hasn’t been resting on its laurels.

However, its competitors haven’t been sitting still either. While Verizon may have been starting from behind, it’s been aggressively deploying the faster 5G spectrum that gave it a nice leap in 5G performance last year. Still, Verizon and AT&T are lagging quite a bit in overall mobile network performance, and AT&T has fallen even farther behind when it comes to delivering the best 5G speeds across the nation.
