Community Reviews

This Verizon switch deal centers on getting an iPhone 18 Pro and a free iPad or Apple Watch through monthly bill credits, but the real value depends on the required service plan and long commitment. The promo appears to require a pricey Pro add on, and the tablet line can add another monthly charge that makes the total cost much higher than the devices alone. It also seems limited to phones over $1200, which may exclude the base iPhone 18 Pro. The upside is strongest for shoppers already planning to pay monthly or who cannot buy the devices outright, as long as they are comfortable staying locked in for 36 months.

Common Questions (5)

  • Yes. The promo is tied to a Simplicity Plan with Simplicity Pro, adding about $50 per month on top of service. That makes the "free" phone depend on paying higher monthly fees for 36 months.

    avinyctrsjtrhthomman

  • No, not without risking the promo. The device credits are tied to the line, so cancelling or downgrading can make the credits disappear and leave you owing the remaining balance or facing collections.

    Cheapest1StockingsN-Radishcliqa

  • It can be, if you already spend around the same amount on service or cannot pay about $1,200 for the phone upfront. The 36-month cost can land near $1,800 either way, so the deal mainly helps people who want financing and upfront device savings.

    zarrazathommanROOSKIE

  • The offer reportedly only applies to phones priced above $1200, and the base iPhone 18 Pro is listed at $1199.99. That puts the base model just under the stated threshold.

    PowerfulNose277

  • The iPad line is about $10 per month over 3 years, or roughly $360 total. That makes it close to buying the tablet outright at Amazon-level pricing rather than truly free.

I can't believe people still fall for these carrier "promos" thinking they're getting a free lunch. It's just an expensive 3-year contract in disguise. Between the mandatory $50/month "Pro" plan add-on and the $20/month tablet line, you end up paying way more in inflated service fees than the devices are actually worth. Unless your job is footing the bill, falling for this is just goofy. Buy outright and go prepaid instead.

US needs some disruption in the phone segment. Buy unlock phones and chose which one you like based on pricing. Too much inflated prices with all these big vendors

Not just that, these phones are locked as well. After years of selling unlocked phones, they bribed the right people to let them lock the phones again.

The only truly good phone deals are the Google Fi deals at launch for the Samsung Ultra series. That's a straight 50% off with the free storage upgrade and 120 days service factored in. I doubt those will last much longer.

You have to pay an extra $50 a month on top of the plan for your "free iphone" (Simplicity Plan with Simplicity Pro)
The cheapest plan for the ipad is $10 a month over 3 years so that's 360, about the same price on amazon

Today that happened, SpaceX announced that their 15000 low earth orbit satellites will provide global cell service with no black out areas. Stocks for Verizon, ATT, and T-Mobile all plummeted.

Except that t mobile is the only carrier that offers it in the US... but t mobile sucks right now. They took the crown from Verizon for being the ultimate sales shark and causing mayhem for customers
