T-Mobile Just Made Some Big Promises, but There's a Catch

T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) introduced three new Un-carrier initiatives this month alongside its announcement that its 5G service will go live on Dec. 6. It's pledging to offer free 5G service for first responders for 10 years. It'll give free internet access to 10 million underserved homes with school-age children. And for everyone else, it'll offer 5G prepaid plans starting at just $15 per month.

But there's a catch on these new initiatives: Consumers will only get those deals if it closes its merger with Sprint (NYSE: S).

Unlike previous Un-carrier moves, which have been aimed at AT&T (NYSE: T) and Verizon (NYSE: VZ), this one is aimed at getting a coalition of attorneys general from nine states and the District of Columbia to drop their suit against the merger.
