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

anything with bill credit is not a deal. It used to be 24m contract. They said we have no contract now, but have 36m bill credit. such a bullshit. prepaid is the way to go.

T-Mobile still has 24 month
That is why AT&T sucks. 36 months is essentially 50% more expensive than 24 months.

Still using my iPhone 6s from early 2015. I was thinking about upgrading to a 15. Do they ever have deals on new phones that don't require starting a new line or upgrading an existing one? Currently on a non-unlimited AT&T family plan @$15 a month, so definitely not upgrading my line.

With family plans the cost per line comes almost at $35 a line. So it'd be worth it.

Do they ship the phone to you or do you need to pick it up? And do they have all options? i.e. the options on Costco.com are very limited.
They ship it to your home on 9/20 (except white) if you preorder as of yesterday. White Pro Max is already back ordered and won't be shipped until 10/12. Am not sure at Costco.com, but I did it in store in Austin, TX.

One line total, and you pay $20/mo including service, taxes, fees, etc., and it's unlimited talk/text/data?

Please share who you're provider is!
One example is Mint =$20/month (+fees) for 15GB (so not unlimited but plenty)+unlimited text, voice. I am using that and it's great in conjunction with Pixel 6a ($250 including buds a year ago), it is very reasonable for decent service (TMO).

you have to pay off your current phone, I still owe $433.17 on my 13 pro max from 2 years ago...so in essence I'm losing my additional credits from my previous trade in!
