T-Mobile sure wants to be your carrier for the new iPhone 6s.

Having previously introduced attention-grabbing offers like Apple Music streaming which doesn’t take a byte out of your monthly data allowance, the Uncannier is now offering customers the chance to get their hands on a 16GB iPhone 6s for $125 less than its normal sales price of $649.

And outspoken CEO John Legere wants to make sure you know T-Mobile coverage is better than ever, too.

On the network front, T-Mobile is keen the show off that it is the United States’ fastest and fastest-growing LTE network.

According to today’s blog post, the company is currently expanding its coverage to cover an extra 260,000 homes each week. It does this using the 700MHz spectrum, which T-Mobile says lets it extend its LTE 2x as far from cellular towers, while also letting it work 4x better in buildings. Currently this Extended Range LTE covers more than 50 percent of the U.S. population.

The network also promises customers a lifetime “network-satisfaction guarantee” which means that, if you’re unhappy with your iPhone coverage, the company will give you a refund of up to one month, while also unlocking your handset at no charge to use on other carrier networks.

The best bit of the offer, however, is the price point — which lets JUMP! On Demand subscribers get hold of a cut-price iPhone 6s. As the Uncarrier explains:

“Starting this Saturday morning at midnight PT, you can pre-order a new iPhone 6s for an unprecedented $20 a month for 18 months with JUMP! On Demand – and iPhone 6s Plus is just $24 a month – both with $0 down. Of course, with JUMP! On Demand, you don’t pay a penny out of pocket upfront with qualifying credit – not even sales tax – and you have the ultimate flexibility to upgrade your phone whenever you want. Not once a year. Not with fees or waiting periods. Just turn in your working phone and start with a brand new one, absolutely whenever you want (up to 3x per year).

After your 18 monthly payments, you can hand back your phone and pay nothing more. Or you can pay just $164 more if you want to keep your iPhone 6s. That means your total cost to own your phone is just $524 – that’s a screaming deal.”

The network says this is a “special introductory pricing” offer, but doesn’t specify how long it will last.

Certainly worth looking into, though…
