T-Mobile Kicks-Off “Magenta Saturday,” Offers Discounted Phones and Tablets for $0–$49.99

Those who are carefully planning their budgets for the upcoming Black Friday deals will probably be caught off-guard by T-Mobile's marketing move.

The carrier recently announced it will hold a special sale called “Magenta Saturday” on November 18. During the one day sale T-Mobile USA will offer several interesting devices, including two tablets for as low as $0–$49.99.

For example, customers will be able to grab the the Dell Streak 7 for free, or the T-Mobile G-Slate for only $49.99 after a mail-in rebate card.

As we already mentioned, the promotion will run for one day, November 19. All new customers are eligible for this promotion, but they are required to sign up for a qualifying two-year agreement on any Unlimited Value plans with 2GB or higher data.

However, existing customers will be able to take advantage of the “Magenta Saturday” deals as well, if they are “eligible for upgrade (18 months tenure or greater) and switch from a Classic to an eligible Value plan.”

“T-Mobile wants to take the hassle out of Black Friday shopping with ‘Magenta Saturday’ by providing consumers with great deals a week early ― and without having to wait in line early in the morning,” said John Clelland, senior vice president of marketing, T-Mobile USA.

Besides the two tablets, T-Mobile USA also offers the HTC Amaze 4G, Samsung Galaxy S II, HTC Radar 4G and BlackBerry Bold 9900 for $49.99. T-Mobile myTouch Q and Samsung Exhibit II will be available for free.

“T-Mobile continues to make it easier for consumers to upgrade to 4G data and join the smartphone revolution by making our best devices more affordable and pairing them with some of the best value plans in the industry,” added Clelland.

According to T-Mobile, the devices will be available at participating retail locations across the country.
