T-Mobile offers up a free tablet, discounts on phones and accessories for Valentine’s Day

Add as a preferred source on Google

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.

Apple’s iPad Air remains one of the easiest tablets to recommend, largely thanks to its powerful M4 processor and excellent app ecosystem. Huawei’s latest MatePad Air has now left China, and its hardware makes Apple’s mid-range tablet look surprisingly under-equipped in some areas.

The 2026 Huawei MatePad Air will go on sale in select global markets on August 1. Prices start at 849 euros for an 8GB and 256GB model with the Smart Magnetic Keyboard included. A PaperMatte version with either the keyboard or M-Pencil Pro costs 899 euros, while the 12GB model reaches 999 euros. This arrives just days after Huawei unveiled the MatePad Pro.
