T-Mobile Black Friday 2014: $100 off Galaxy S5 & Note 3, free Alcatel OneTouch Pop 7

T-Mobile has its own take on Black Friday and its existing customers would not want to miss its pair of treats this year. The titanic U.S. carrier is early, as it fired up its promotions a week before the shopping festivity.

For an early Black Friday special, existing customers can walk out of a T-Mobile store with a 7-inch Alcatel OneTouch Pop 7 without shelling out a single penny when they sign up for a tablet data plan. The tablet is usually priced at $168 but customers who grab the offer has no upfront payment to pay off.  No monthly payment for the device will be included to their bills either.

Another great bargain involves the Samsung's flagship phone, the Samsung Galaxy S5, as well as the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Note 4's predecessor. T-Mobile has slashed more than $100 off their original prices for the occasion.

With a regular $660 price tag, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is now up for grabs for merely $509. The 5.1-inch handset is the latest of its "S" kinfolk. It has a 16-megapixel rear-facing shooter as well as a battery life that lasts for 29 hours. It is loaded with 2 GB of RAM that is complemented with a storage capacity of 16 GB, expandable to 128 GB with a memory card.

Customers can also get the 5.7-inch Samsung Galaxy Note 3 for $416. That's a hefty $100 savings from its original $517. The Galaxy Note 3 is a fine-looking smartphone released last year. It houses 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage. It sports a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera, and juice that allows up to 21 hours of use.

T-Mobile's special offers are available right this instant. Existing customers can storm into the nearest outlet today and get their fix of Black Friday days before it actually lands.
