Community Reviews

This Verizon switch promo centers on getting an iPhone 18 Pro, iPad, or Apple Watch with monthly bill credits, but the real value depends on the required service plan. The strongest appeal is avoiding large upfront costs, especially for shoppers who cannot pay about $1,200 for the phone or $600 for the tablet at once, and monthly financing can also preserve phone insurance benefits. The main catch is the long 36 month commitment, with extra plan charges that can push total service costs close to or above buying outright. Cancelling or downgrading early risks losing the credits and owing the remaining balance, so it works best for someone ready to stay with Verizon.

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
