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.

36mo bill credits is a scam. Phone cost hasn't gone up but now they want you locked in for another year. Don't do it.

Used to be 12 months, 24 months now 36 months for bill credits? What's next 48 months ?
It was a 30 month term before the currently new 36-month term. So, probably in a couple years, the carriers will go to 42 months.

Do the Costco kiosk AT&T reps not get credit for upgrading?

I tried on two different days at two different Costcos, and neither of them wanted to process my 10 lines of upgrades. Just told me to do it at the nearest AT&T store or Costco online. But, they gladly took orders for people new to AT&T.

I think the Verizon deal has the edge for iPhone 15 Pro. Says you can trade in any device, any condition

Unless you have more than 4 people on the plan in which case, ATT is also $30+tax.

Im waiting for a refurb S21 Ultra from Woot and might trade it in, it might have some scratches or dents. How strict are they with the condition of the trade in?

Not really a scam. You can pay retail for the phone n have it free n clear. If you want the incentive you have to stick around. Don't get me wrong I'd much rather have it as an instant credit but how does that benefit the carriers?

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.
I used to travel for work. A lot. AT&T consistently dropped calls and I only very rarely ever had a problem with TMobile.
