T-Mobile introduces SCORE!

SCORE! is a new program offered by T-Mobile to customers who don't qualify for the carrier's JUMP! program. Those who have paid the full retail price for their phone, or who have a prepaid or postpaid account without EIP, can subscribe to SCORE!. The program is also open to T-Mobile customers who bring their own phone.

The cost of the plan is $5 per month and after 6 months, you can get an entry-level 4G phone, like the Alcatel OneTouch Evolve 2, for free. That phone normally carries a full retail price of $79.20.

If you use the program for 12 months, you can receive discounts on every phone, including high-end 4G LTE models. Some of the 12 month deals include the T-Mobile Concord II (retail price $150), LG Optimus L90 (retail price $168, $198 for pre-paid) or the Alcatel OneTouch Fierce 2 (retail price $126, pre-paid $156) which you can get for free.
