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

Yeah, I'm waiting for T-mobile deal too, I'm guessing around thanksgiving time
what tmobile plan do you have? i think they're trying to get people off of the simple choice plan so they're probably not giving any deals for that plan anymore. i haven't seen one since 2021 and before that it used to be multiple times a year

I got lied to so flagrantly about this deal with combining internet so I fact checked everything I was told in my particular situation and the guy was either on bath salts or was so desperate for commision he was gonna say anything. So be careful.

I have a Note 10+ and I'm on AT&T with the $40 a month plan with a iPhone 13 Pro Max, how should I go about getting an iPhone 15 pro max? Both phones are paid off, should I trade the Note in to one of the carriers and if so which one? Would my best bet be to sell the iPhone or trade it in?

The bill credits thing kinda sucks. When I got my iPhone 13 Pro Max I did the BB T-Mobile trade in and got an instant $700 credit for my old iPhone 12 with no bill credits and I just moved my phone to AT&T 2 months later.

Maybe I should wait closer to Black Friday and see what other promotions carriers and Apple do? TIA

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.
i agree with u dont do it, we all need to refuse 36 months

make sure you sign up with a debit card for your Att autopay billing. Starting in October, you will lose the autopay discount per line if you have credit card on file.

It's not true, depend on how many line you have. Mine is $30 for Premium Unlimited

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.
Gotcha. So I would first sign up for the regular price. Then go ahead and do the verification?

Do you need if the account needs to be under the same name. For example, if fiber is under my name but the wireless can be under my brothers name (to qualify for the first responder/tecehr discount)

Or you can get Tello - as low as $6/mo. Around $12 for 2GB/mo. And it's 5G.
We use it and find it perfectly functional. And can't beat the price.
