Six days ahead of Black Friday, T-Mobile will be holding its own sales holiday: Magenta Saturday.

On Saturday, Nov. 19, the wireless company will offer smartphones and certain tablet devices for a down payment of $49.99 or less after a mail in rebate. The deal will be open to new customers who sign up for the company’s Unlimited Value Plans as well as existing customers eligible for an upgrade who switch from Classic to a Value plan.

 “T-Mobile wants to take the hassle out of Black Friday shopping with ‘Magenta Saturday’ by providing consumers with great deals a week early - and without having to wait in line early in the morning,” said John Clelland, senior vice president of marketing, T-Mobile USA, in a release.
