Even at T-Mobile the Gear VR will cost $99 so opting to buy it from the carrier won't really save you any money. The headset is compatible with the Galaxy S6, the Galaxy S6 edge, the Galaxy S6 edge+ and the Galaxy Note 5, all four devices are already available for purchase on T-Mobile. Magenta will have the Gear VR available in participating stores as well as available through its website starting November 27.
