T-Mobile is a consistent leader in the ongoing 5G race, and to kick off 2024 on an interesting note, the carrier has announced that a big change is coming to its T-Mobile Tuesdays app. In short, the app is going away — and in its place, a new one is launching soon.

If you open the T-Mobile Tuesdays app today, January 2, you’ll see a card that says “Introducing T Life.” Below that is additional text that describes T Life as “a new app for T-Mobile Tuesdays.”

If you tap the card, you’re taken to a promo page for T Life that reads: “T-Mobile Tuesdays will soon be part of T Life, a new app for T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile customers. You’ll still be able to score awesome perks and exclusive deals, plus you’ll enjoy access to benefits and more ways to connect with what’s important.”

In other words, your T-Mobile Tuesdays deals and rewards aren’t disappearing — they’re just heading to a different app.

While this may seem like an odd change at first read, it actually makes good sense. While T-Mobile Tuesdays used to only offer deals every Tuesday, the program has since expanded to offer weekly deals that are available all week long. The app is also where you access ongoing travel deals from T-Mobile Travel that are available whenever. It’s not just an app that gives you promos/deals on Tuesdays, so switching to a new name that better reflects that isn’t a bad idea.

Based on the screenshots T-Mobile provided for T Life, it looks like the app will be split into three pages: Home, Tuesdays, and Connect. In addition to housing the usual T-Mobile Tuesdays deals, it also looks like T Life will tie into T-Mobile’s SyncUP trackers, Wi-Fi routers, and more.

T-Mobile says the existing T-Mobile Tuesdays app will be updated and transformed into T Life, so you won’t need to download a new app from the App Store or Play Store. There’s no timeline indicating when that will happen, but we should learn more soon.

If you travel abroad frequently, you’ve probably wondered how to cut back on bill shock. We’ve all been there: you have a great vacation, get back home, and your next postpaid bill drops. Except, it’s much higher than you expected thanks to roaming charges for using your phone abroad.

Most networks offer some form of roaming bundle. While Verizon and AT&T offer paid daily bundles that can quickly rack up a bill of more than $100 per line for the month, T-Mobile remains the only of the big three carriers to offer inclusive roaming for free.

Like T-Mobile? You can pay your phone bill by playing games
T-Mobile REVVL 7 PRO 5G back.

How much time do you spend playing mobile games on your phone? A lot of people use them to pass the time, but Metro by T-Mobile customers could double down and work toward paying off their monthly bill. The carrier has partnered with the Ad It Up app to let users earn points by shopping, playing games, and answering surveys. All those points can be placed toward your next month's bill.

This only works for a few specific carriers, including Cricket and T-Mobile. Anyone can download the app, but will receive an alert that their carrier isn't supported if it's any besides these. The available games include Coin Master, Traffic Puzzle, and Cube Master, but there are others to choose from if none of those fit your tastes. For example, you can play the wildly popular 2048 puzzle game to earn points.
