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.

They discount the monthly payments. So after 36 months it is free. Except for tax. And if you were going to pay for ATT service anyways. If you planned on using tier 2 NVMO services. Then yes not free
It's a fake free. The monthly per line these days are atrocious. $60-$90/line/month .. holy !!

T-Mobile isn't an option for many of us in rural areas. They just don't have good service out in the country.
I was just going to say the same thing. AT&T/Verizon is it here. Friends, family, customers, etc. w/ Tmobile that come to our home always tell us they lost cell service 10 minutes before they even got to our house.

36 monthly bill credits is an absolute and complete scam. If you leave early or break your phone and need a new one then your trade in was worth nothing.

This is equivalent to a three year contract no matter what they tell you.

Costco T-Mobile has the deal or not yet?
I just got $1000 for trade in for my 12 pro, $250 port in credits, and $150 Costco shop card. 24 month phone payoff as opposed to AT&T 36 month. I just switched from AT&T. Customer service was always terrible and my bill never matched what the swindler told me it would be when I signed up.

What is the cheapest phone you can buy to qualify for $830 credit? And what's the cheapest to buy for $1000?

I just traded to ATT (not Costco) my dad's 11pro 64 and got the new 15 128 for no cost. I received 830 for his trade. They ship this week and I have to take his phone back to the ATT store to turn in the trade.

looking to trade in xs 256gb with a chipped screen and dont plan on leaving at&t since we are grandfathered in a family plan. TIV is $350 , s20 is $800 and could try to find one local for about $100. Im fine with not upgrading every two years and the xs works fine.

Best route to trade in? Online or in store, keep same plan ...

When it says minimum $75/month plan. Is that per line? I have 4 lines for $140 total/ month. But each line is $35ish so do I qualify?

We switched 2 lines from Verizon an added a third. Costco direct ATT rep gave us $600 in bill credits, and $300 in Costco cards, in addition to $1000 for 12 pro max trade in and $830 for 12 pro trade in. Also was able to get 25% physician discount off monthly bill. Best total deal I found for new 15s

In terms of latest iphone deals after the launch, typically when and what kind of best deals we received so far. Just wanted to get some idea on that to patiently waiting for that deal.
