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

Ok, I'm getting a different type of screen. I'm trying to upgrade a line but it keeps imposing a $75/mo new line plan. I'll try calling them tomorrow.
I've gotten that too occasionally

It's annoying because I don't want to change my plan. I've been granfathered in since our Cingular Wireless days. I'm hoping a representative can help me by not changing my plan.

I think if you have 5 lines, the $75 plan becomes $35 per line. Not bad

I had bought my iPhone 14pro using chase sapphire reserve points getting 50% credits using points on chase last year. I can basically go with any carrier if I choose to instead of paying high monthly coverage charge as my phone is unlocked And I plan to do this in the future. Better to pay $799 unlocked iPhone 15 from apple directly. Buy apple gift cards which go on sale quite frequently for 10% off and use GC at apple to buy the phone or redeem points on any credit card for apple GC which go on sale often. This way you are locked in higher monthly price by any carrier.

+23. Debits and credits?
I'm subtracting it because I would've bought these iPhones regardless of promo or not, so it's a net credit for me.

Did anyone receive any confirmation that they will receive the $100 Costco shopcard after placing their order online? I just placed my order but nothing mentioned in the e-mail from AT&T about the $100 Costco Shop Card

I live in a dense area where I need to use Verizon post paid service, otherwise I will not get good signal quality. Can't use MVNO's because they will get deprioritized service. There's a reason why it's $25/mo. It's not just cheaper because they feel like it.
Well in my area it feels like the same speed. Good deals to be had if you're cognitive about your data usage.

Do we expect the market to be flooded with iPhone 12/13s in a month? Where is it best to look? I need a phone for my kid.

Would love to move back to Tmo from Verizon but just can't do it. TMo has had something like 10 sizable security Incidents in the last 5 years. They just don't give a crap.
