Postpaid: Device Connection Charge Promotions

Use this page to learn about and view all current and expired promotions for the Device Connection Charge (DCC).

About DCC Promotions

Device Connection Charge (DCC) is a $35 charge per line for every Postpaid account, including Employee, for connecting a new device to the T-Mobile netowrk. 

  • These promotions are for a limited time only and subject to change and should be communicated to customers in this way.
  • Next Best Action (NBA) may make a recommendation to waive the DCC. If so, follow Manual Waiver steps.
  • Lines resumed from cancellation or added after the customer cancels existing lines DO NOT qualify for DCC promotions:
    • If a customer canceled a line within the past 90 days (excluding CORs and No Installs), the line must be resumed before they can add a brand-new line to qualify for DCC promotions.
    • Customers should never be told to cancel lines, before or after a promotion, to qualify for or justify participation in a promotion. If a customer does not need additional lines, explore other promotions, or discuss device price points. Driving CHURN to close sales is not the right thing to do.
  • Care / Virtual Retail: For digital-only promotions, DCC may be manually waived only if an eligible customer is unable to complete their transaction on digital due to a system or T-Mobile error.
  • Effective April 15, 2026, new device activations on a voice line with qualifying plan receive a 30-day 20GB high speed domestic hotspot data pass as part of the Device Connection Charge (waived DCC as part of an active promo does not qualify for the pass). Data pass expires after 30 days. After 20GB of data, plan hotspot data allotment and speeds apply. Does not apply to BTS, Home Internet, or TFB DCC/SSK charges.
  • Use Talking Points: Device Connection Charge to answer customer questions.
