Which company phones does T-Mobile offer?

T-Mobile provides its business customers with a range of current smartphones, including the latest iPhones from Apple, as well as high-performance smartphones from Samsung, Nokia, Google, and other Android manufacturers. The Chinese brands Huawei and Xiaomi are not part of T-Mobile’s business portfolio. Smartphones are available as part of a "bundle" offer: in a combined package of company phone and T-Mobile tariff . Companies simply choose a business tariff and select one of the offered devices. In some cases, a one-time payment is required for T-Mobile company phones . The remaining device cost is gradually paid off from the monthly subsidy portion in the tariff during the contract period. So far, so good—in principle, there's not much to say against this procurement method. Except that there might be an easier way: You can actually rent smartphones , but more on that later.

Why does T-Mobile even offer company phones?

It's obvious: Companies needing mobile contracts also need suitable devices for those contracts. So, what's more logical than getting the tariff and smartphone from the same source? Consequently, T-Mobile also offers company phones in the mentioned bundles. This allows T-Mobile to provide its business customers with comprehensive equipment: devices, tariffs, and digital solutions (fromcyber defense solutions to other IT-managed services) all come from one source. T-Mobile positions itself as a system provider capable of extensively and holistically supporting its business customers. And that's a good thing.

What does a company smartphone with a T-Mobile tariff cost?

To determine the costs of a T-Mobile company phone, you need to calculate the hardware subsidies included in the tariff and add them to the one-time payments for the devices. This would give you the flat device price. However, you are still a bit away from the "Total Cost of Ownership" (TCO). To determine this, you need to add the internal efforts and consider that device costs increase if, for example, you exceed the minimum contract term. After all, you would continue to pay the hardware subsidies.
