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.

$154.85/mo" and the iphone 13 was labeled as free. but support keeps getting stuck saying they dont see any prepaid service plan on my account. so the 3 month plan is mia? Do we have to pay for the first month then get 3 more months included? I don't get it.
I have tried reaching out to their social media accounts but they just tell me to DM them but there is no way to DM them.
support is saying they don't even see the phone on their end at first. then they find the phone but cant see anything else.
this is what i see in my email:

after talking to several people they all say their tool for tracking orders is not responding and they cant properly track the order. they will not give me a way to return the phone either and im not going to stay with them at this point. most likely if they wont let me return the phone ill be forced to do a charge back.
edit: i finally got someone to give me the return address. they said there should have been a return shipping label included in the package. there was not. I was told i have to pay in that case and once they receive the phone they will refund me. after spending all this time and getting absolutely nowhere I am just going to do a charge back and throw the phone away. I don't care if i ever get a phone plan from any network associated to Verizon anyway.

For the carrier/provider, I selected Other.
I had activated mine on April 20th and waiting to see when it gets unlocked or if I need to do something on my end after 60 or 90 days.
