"T-Mobile is launching a new program that will allow prospective customers to try out their network, with a new iPhone 5S, for a week \u2014 completely free of charge.\nThe program, which the carrier is calling Test Drive, is the result of a partnership with Apple. It's meant to give prospective customers a risk-free way to try out a new device with a new carrier, without leaving their existing contract.\nSee also: Apple iPhone 5S: A Great Phone Inches Toward Perfection\nPeople will be able to sign up for the service beginning Monday. Those who sign up will receive an iPhone 5S, equipped with an unlimited plan, to use free of charge for seven days.\nThe phone must be ordered online through T-Mobile's website and customers will be required to provide a credit or debit card number, along with a matching billing and shipping address, to receive the phone. A temporary hold will be placed on the user's credit or debit card for the amount of $699.99 during the test period, but customers won't be charged unless they fail to return the device at the end of the week.\nShould they decide to switch carriers at the end of that time, T-Mobile will pay the termination fees on their existing contract.\n\u201CWhile the carriers ask you to buy blind, the Un-carrier gives you transparency,\" John Legere, T-Mobile's CEO, said in a statement. \"Our network kicks ass, and now people can experience for themselves what a data-strong network can do with T-Mobile Test Drive.\u201D\nThe network is also expanding its LTE reach to 16 new markets across the U.S, including Atlanta, Dallas, Orlando and Los Angeles.\n\n\nT-Mobile Uncarrier Event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe T-Mobile Uncarrier 5.0 held at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle, Washington.\n\nImage: Mashable, Christina Ascani\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCustomers from all over Seattle were invited to attend.\n\nImage: Mashable, Christina Ascani\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCrowds of people waiting outside for the doors to open.\n\nImage: Mashable, Christina Ascani\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Mashable, Christina Ascani\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe event felt more like a rock concert than a wireless carrier presentation.\n\nImage: Mashable, Christina Ascani\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nScreaming T-Mobile fans filled the Paramount Theatre.\n\nImage: Mashable, Christina Ascani\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnxiously waiting for the event to begin.\n\nImage: Mashable, Christina Ascani\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nT-Mobile CEO John Legere announces free week long test drives at the T-Mobile Uncarrier 5.0 event in Seattle, Washington on June 18, 2014.\n\nImage: Mashable, Christina Ascani\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJohn Legere's unique footwear at the Uncarrier T-Mobile event in Seattle.\n\nImage: Mashable, Christina Ascani\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJohn Legere discusses the new unRadio app from Rhapsody at the T-Mobile Uncarrier 5.0 event in Seattle, Washington on June 18, 2014.\n\nImage: Mashable, Christina Ascani\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA view of the Rhapsody unRadio app home-screen.\n\nImage: Mashable, Christina Ascani\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith the unRadio app from Rhapsody, you are able to favorite a song and have it download to your phone automatically.\n\nImage: Mashable, Christina Ascani\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlaying a song on the Rhapsody unRadio app.\n\nImage: Mashable, Christina Ascani\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHave something to add to this story?
