Deal Details
Verizon Prepaid posted on their Deals page about an iPhone 13 (storage not specified, but could imagine it might be the lowest at 128 GB) for $279.99, with enrollment in an Unlimited plan, with port in, which is $60/month at baseline, and enrollment in Auto Pay. Taxes/fees vary by location. The deal specifies it is available in store or by phone only.

For anyone looking to keep the phone service active, they also are offering $15 bill credits for 12 months on their Unlimited plans. It doesn't specify that the bill credit will be active in the first month of service or if it takes some number of months before it is active.

Verizon Prepaid lists their iPhone 13 128 GB models are $629.99; therefore, list price is the equivalent phone + plan, without the discount on the phone.

Edit to add: Updating prices in the original post to reflect a $35 activation fee, as the phones list on the web site states activation fee is waived for online orders, which this deal is not available.

Edit #2: Changed wording and punctuation of title field to make it more precise.

This probably isn't the best deal for people who just want the cheapest deal on a relatively new iPhone to trade in on a different plan for significant bill credits on a new iPhone 16, but it may appeal to some who want a budget phone and want to continue with unlimited service on a prepaid plan.

you got that right. Apple just gave me $400 for my 13 Pro Max in perfect condition, so this would be -- at best -- zero net profit for a lot of work.

So do you have to stay 12 months or can you unlock and leave in 60 days? What happens if you leave?

No he means ORDER BY phone. Like call them and order the phone to get the deal.

Also Verizon phones are locked will Auto Unlock after 60 days of activation.

Can we do the same thing here as with the iPhone 14 Pro Max deal? Buy the phone outright then cancel within 3 days to avoid all fees?

This is prepaid. I don't think you'll get that first month waived.

So just to be clear, we can get the phone for $279.99 + $60 plan + $35 activation and cancel after first month without penalties? I would assume unlock period would still be 60 days even after cancellation.

I don't know how you came to that conclusion.

Just ordered one. Came out to $368 after tax. They have Midnight and Green left. Nice to have unlocked after 60 days.

Almost $400 bucks for a 4 years old phone at this point and so many hoops to jump through.

Whoever thinks this is a good deal needs to have their heads examined.
