If you’re starting a new cellphone plan, most major mobile carriers require a multiyear commitment, so it’s a big decision you need to consider carefully. First, think about the plan and provider itself: What’s the best coverage in your area and how many lines do you want to add? Next, compare the best mobile phone plan deals to save yourself the most money.

T-Mobile has some fantastic deals you can take advantage of that make it a competitive pick, especially for Samsung or Apple fans looking to upgrade.

T-Mobile’s incentives include free lines and streaming services, but one huge highlight is the chance to snag the top-rated Galaxy S25 Plus for free when you trade in any phone in any condition on T-Mobile’s Experience Beyond or Go5G Next plan. The catch? You’ll see the savings reflected via billing credits over a 24-month period, which means you’re locked into a two-year contract. But given the wide eligibility of this particular trade-in deal, this is a fantastic chance to grab a premium phone from the current Galaxy flagship lineup for free. 

Not a fan of Android? Don’t fret. T-Mobile is also giving away the iPhone 16 Pro free, no trade-in required. The language on some of these offers can be a little confusing, so we’ve broken down how T-Mobile’s current deals work below. Note that there aren’t any set expirations for these offers so they could vanish at any moment. We wouldn’t wait too long if you’re hoping to take advantage of these savings.

Why these deals matter

You more or less need a phone with reliable coverage these days but costs can add up quickly. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your mobile device or shopping for the best family plans, these T-Mobile deals can help save you some serious cash each month.

Have you noticed that ChatGPT is a little less chatty today? OpenAI is experiencing a widespread outage Tuesday that’s affecting its ChatGPT AI chatbot service. The number of reported outages increased throughout the morning.

An OpenAI representative responded to CNET via email, directing us to its status page, which originally stated that OpenAI was experiencing «elevated errors and latency» and that it had identified the root cause and is working to mitigate the underlying issue. 

Its Sora tool for AI-generated videos was also down, although an update posted at 8:28 a.m. ET stated, «All impacted services have now fully recovered.»

«Full recovery across all listed services may take another few hours,» an update posted at 10:54 a.m ET (7:54 a.m. PT) said, noting that OpenAI APIs, which allow developers to tap into the company’s AI models, are beginning to recover.

The troubles have now been ongoing for 12 hours, OpenAI noted, meaning they likely started around midnight PT. 

The Downdetector service also shows outage reports starting around that time and spiking several hours later. (Disclosure: Downdetector is owned by Ziff Davis, which is also the parent company of CNET.)  

Launched in 2022, ChatGPT has become the most popular AI application ever released, with 400 million weekly users. A barrage of generative AI competitors have followed, including Meta AI, Google’s Gemini and Microsoft’s Copilot, but ChatGPT remains the leader largely because it’s easy to use. During its Worldwide Developers Conference 2025 keynote on Monday, Apple even touted an expansion of its ChatGPT integration.

The AI chatbot uses learning algorithms and large-language models to process massive amounts of data from books and the internet, which it uses to deliver human-like responses to prompts from users. (Disclosure: Ziff Davis, CNET’s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.)

What can you do while OpenAI is down?

Although OpenAI’s ChatGPT may be among the most popular options, there are plenty of alternatives to use while it’s down — and many of them are free. 

Chatbots

Claude is our current favorite chatbot we’ve tested, and Claude even knew all the details about ChatGPT’s outage, according to my colleague Jon Reed, a CNET senior editor who covers AI.

Image generators

If you rely on ChatGPT’s Dall-E 3 as your image generator, we’d recommend trying Leonardo.Ai for really creative work and Canva for free, beginner-friendly work.

Video generators

If you’re looking for an alternative to the Sora tool for AI-generated videos, we just checked out Microsoft’s Bing Video Creator. It’s super easy to use and available on mobile now.
