Today, wireless carrier T-Mobile announced a new promotion for the owners of an iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S device interested in switching to an iPhone 5 on its network.

Starting with Friday, April 12, they will be able to grab the iPhone 5 on its network for no upfront cost, as long as they bring their current devices to trade them in.

“Our message to iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 customers is simple: bring in your device and trade up to iPhone 5 on T-Mobile,” said Mike Sievert, chief marketing officer for T-Mobile.

“We’re making it incredibly attractive to buy an iPhone 5 by pairing an un-beatable upfront price and trade-in offer with Simple Choice, the most hassle-free and affordable rate plan in wireless.”

The trade-in offer will last through Father’s Day on June 16, and is available for all well-qualified users who are willing to part with their iPhone 4S or iPhone 4 to get the new iPhone 5.

They will receive the new device for $0 down plus monthly payments on a Simple Choice Plan from T-Mobile, with no annual service contract, the wireless carrier announced.

Furthermore, based on the trade-in value of their device, users will also be eligible for a credit of up to $120, which can be used to pay monthly bills or to purchase accessories for another device.

“Through its Simple Choice Plan, T-Mobile is the only major U.S. wireless company offering iPhone 5 with no annual service contract plus unlimited talk, text and Web on a screaming-fast nationwide 4G network,” the wireless carrier also announced.

Starting Friday, the new iPhone 5 will arrive at T-Mobile through all of the company’s retail stores, as well as online on its website, featuring a price tag of $99.99, with $20 per month payments for two years.

At T-Mobile, iPhone 5 will offer support for the newly launched 4G LTE network, currently available in Baltimore; Houston; Kansas City; Las Vegas; Phoenix; San Jose, Calif.; and Washington, D.C., but set to cover over 200 million people before the end of the year.
