Anybody else seeing Verizon adds offering “free” 5-G phones?
What’s up with that ‘cause nothing is “free”?
And I do not have good vibes from info - no sources, merely poor memory of what I’ve read - pertaining to 5-G.
Verizon will give you a free smartphone to upgrade to 5G
... Verizon announced a new campaign in which new and existing customers can trade in their old phones for a new 5G phone on an unlimited plan. Verizon doesn’t care if the screen is cracked or the sides are dented — you can still trade it in for a brand new 5G device.
If you switch to one of Verizon’s Play More, Do More, or Get More plans, you can get up to $700 off a new iPhone or $800 off an Android phone. This includes the iPhone 12 and Galaxy S21 lines, and the newer your trade-in phone is, the more credit you’ll receive from Verizon.
It is worth noting that the trade-in credit will be applied over the course of 24 months, so you will not truly see the benefits of this offer until two years have passed.

Meaning they tie you into a two year contract for the plan selected. Also the phone isn’t free if the new one costs more than your trade-in.
