T-Mobile launches new no-money-down promotion

Sounds great, but shoppers aren't exactly strolling away with a free phone. If you agree to the terms of the arrangement, you're still on the hook for 24 monthly payments ranging between $25 (Galaxy S4, LG G2) and $29.50 (Note 3), depending on which device strikes your fancy.

Additionally, your monthly cellular service charges still apply, so you'll have to cough that up as well. Another factor to consider is: while technically users aren't bound to a two-year contract, they are required to pay off the full cost of the phone (or whatever balance remains) before jumping ship.

The fourth device T-Mobile is giving the Zero Dollar treatment to is the older Galaxy Note 2 (24 payments of $24). I strongly advise against selecting this aging gadget since it's been hopelessly rendered obsolete by the fresh Note 3.
