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.

It's required for the employee to press the "activate" button.

good catch, i wonder if visible/mint will have an iphone 15 deal (with trade in) that doesn't lock you into a 2 or 3 year contract

AT&T has terrible service. Any deals with better carriers?
It may be your area, ATT has great service around here… and their customer service is very good, I left Verizon because of poor customer service ten years ago and have been happy with att.

T-Mobile still has 24 month
What does it mean 24 month bill credits? I never purchased a phone from a carrier, always unlocked, but would like to upgrade to a newer iPhone 13 and newer with a decent discount through a carrier.

For just the phone itself, can we "return" Apple Care?

All the deals require a new line, one of them gives $50 to existing lines, $5/month for ten months… these are not good deals! Better to go direct to ATT with a 13pro trade in for $1000 off a new iPhone. Three years of credits though so only worth it if you keep your phone for a while.

geez, for the free phone it's 36 months of bill credits. When we got our iPhone 13 it was 30 months.
Back in my day it was 24 months 😅 these $1000 phones are killer
