Just in time for iPhone 15 upgrades/purchases. AT&T has deals with costco when you buy or upgrade to iphone 15. I was able to get the activation fees waived and the order confirmation stated the $100 gift card would be sent after 60 days. There's also a mention that $50 would be applied to your account after a certain amount of days.
The fine print says minimum qualified plan is 75/mo. That's where they get you with these "free deals" - locking you in at high monthly rate for 3 yrs.
Quick math assuming you are ok with Visible/Mint at $30/mo - overpaying by $45/mo for 36=$1620, that's what you are paying for the "free iphone".
If you live in an area which has good coverage then better buy an unlocked phone and get a carrier of your choice than getting robbed by these guys for 36 months.
I have an unlocked phone & pay $20 per month for service. Can't be happier.
What is activation fee anymore ,!! Just another fee from older times

AT&T has terrible service. Any deals with better carriers?
That used to be my experience as well. But, not anymore in North Carolina. I think the better coverage might be related to the Firstnet network expansion by AT&T.

This is the comment. As long as they are 24 and the other 2 are 36 there is no debate. You should consider the TMO Costco deal. I wouldn't be surprised if TMO moves to 36 soon though.

AT&T is consistently rated just short of #1 Verizon. But to answer your question, all major carriers have an "on us" deal right now ($1000 off with eligible trade-in).

I would love that, but Visible deprioritization makes it almost unusable in our area. I was hopeful and hung out for 5g but it was still shiite after that. So fam is on tmo, business plan is att with plan paid through work. I just gotta scrap for the device savings.

$75 per month + other standard charges + tax will come to $90 or more.
Buy Mint for $25. Can be less if you buy for 6+ months.
