You get what you pay for.
You can buy this phone for more without the requirements.
If they did not require this some folks would buy dozens to resell (which I have no exact issue with other than it make such a deal impossible to offer)
Decide for yourself.
It's really no different from walking into T-mobile and signing a contract to get a 'free' or subsidized iphone. They take your id there.

I've been using a work phone as my personal for about 3 years, but the office recently decided the tax ramifications were too much to deal with and gave us 2 months to stop all personal use of work phones. I've batted around every combination of the 16 (Xfinity) and 16e (Visible, Total) deals, used 12/13/mini on US Mobile, Boost, Xfinity, etc. My only real requirement was MagSafe and not Plus/Max size (both for compatibility with the MagSafe charger in my car).
After the 3 months are up, I'll probably move to US Mobile or switch my home internet to the $30/mo 400mbps plan on Xfinity and use their free 1-year mobile line offer. I actually ascribe a bit of value to the free Disney+ Premium included with Total, but not enough to keep me with them past the included 3 months (but it will be nice, Disney+ has the absolute worst and most obtrusive ads, plus the ad plan doesn't include Dolby Atmos audio).

I'm just using this number for the deal. Didn't want to port my real number. Can put real sim in or port real number to phone after the 60 day lock.
