Now we know that AT&T has announced that they will soon begin taking pre-orders for the handset, but what about the other carriers? When will they see the Galaxy S5? Well the good news for T-Mobile customers is that they too have announced that come 24th of March, they will be taking pre-orders for the Galaxy S5.
The good news is that unlike AT&T which requires you to pay a fee upfront and locking you to a two-year contract, T-Mobile has waived that. Instead customers won’t have to put a downpayment on the phone, but they will be required to sign up with the carrier for the next 24 months.
Unfortunately it seems that the $0 downpayment is a promotional offer and will only be valid until the 31st of March, so if you’re looking to save yourself a couple hundred dollars, perhaps T-Mobile might be your carrier of choice.
Safe to say that the handset is pretty popular because last we checked, there were over 300,000 signups for the Galaxy S5 on T-Mobile. The handset hasn’t been released yet, of course, but the signups are an indication that many customers are indeed interested in getting their hands on the device.
Hopefully T-Mobile will have enough stock to please everyone! In the meantime if this $0 downpayment offer sounds very tempting, you’ll want to mark your calendars for the 24th of March so as not to miss out on the deal.
