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.

are we able to apply the nurse discount for a new ATT account via costco? We are coming from T-Mobile. Also are we able to apply ACP as well as the $20 discount on the internet for having wireless?

AT&T is absolutely horrible. Constant call drops. Even when calling 611 to complain about call drops. BTW, they suck as an employer, too.

Curious, do you still have AT&T as a cellular provider?

Even when I worked there and could get a 50% discount I kept my T-Mobile line. They're that bad.

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.
I still have not received my Costco cards from the last deal

Quote from avatar13 :
I want to take advantage of the $1k credit for my 12 pro max but at the same time am interested in the potential 1 inch sensor they may be putting in the 16pro max next year. Thinking of starting a new 36 month credit plan with att and if next years 16 pro is a game changer would trade the phone into Apple since they may not care if it's financed. I would get a credit of say $650 (based on what 14 pro max gets now) and then I have to pay for the balance of the new phone. This way I'm not touching the att account since I'm not financing the new phone and the line should still continue receiving the balance of my 24 months of credit from att. The balance of the 24 months is around $666 so basically a wash since I have to pay about that much plus tax for the new phone. But I'll get to upgrade if I want after a year while maximizing my trade in credit now. I'm not touching the line so credits continue to roll. Am I missing something?

Other than stealing a phone for trade-in, I think your plan sounds great!

i had a COU device as well as personal. The service is, and was, spotty.
I know have a VZW Company phone that is even spotty... I dont think any 1 carrier is better; they all suck in certain spots and at certain times.

If it is for family plan (4 lines), will the min $75 plan apply? If yes, it is worth it, correct?

The Teacher/First Responder appreciation discount is applied to your monthly unlimited plan starting in 3 bill cycles. ATT requests current paystubs or current offer letters for proof. You would have to set that up with them online or phone call.

Absolutely agree. The crapiest service.

I have had Sprint for 15 years then switched to AT&T and then changed from AT&T to Verizon. Best decision ever made.

I also had TMO through work and that wasn't bad.

I went to Costco to a Verizon booth. I had 7 lines from T-Mobile I wanted to transfer out. Currently they have any phone any condition for $1000 for iphone 15. 6 lines want the iPhone and 1 line wants s23 utra which they are giving $800 trade in value for Note 10+, but the Costco Verizon rep first said he can't stack the two promos, then I said okay let's just do 6 iphones, then he couldn't apply the trade in value... I'm hoping it goes thru when I call the 800 number

What I did.

15 pro max 256gb = $1150
US mobile = $25 per month or $300 per year.

Used to be sign 24 month contract get the phone for $200, contract was tied to the service, not the phone. Now you're stuck with the phone for 36 months and can't upgrade without paying a huge cost. Even when the next phone comes out in a year you'd still owe over $600 to pay off to get the next phone, or if you pay $6 a month you can get on the next plan and it will take 18 months to get to be able to upgrade.
