Who wouldn’t enjoy getting a phone from one of the best brands of phones in the world for free? As nice as that sounds, it’s very unlikely that you would get a free phone, or iPhone without you having to pay for it somewhere or with something.
Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying and probably trying to scam you. There are ways of getting an iPhone without immediately spending money on it though; making it technically free.
How can I get a free iPhone to use?
If you search for “free iPhone” on Google, you’re likely to see dozens of opportunities for free phones. Some of these are legitimate online giveaways but most are just scams. Even legit ones aren’t so innocent.
AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile often have free iPhone promotions but in truth, they’re only to entice you to agree to a contract of usually 24 months.
The telecom company provides the phones as incentives for you to sign up for lengthy contracts when in actual fact you will still be paying for the phone just in unnoticeable monthly instalments.
At least, on the front, it’s free right? All you’ll need is a device activation fee of between $30-50.
Best Buy, Walmart, and other big-box retailers sometimes do iPhone promotions usually before and after the holiday season, back to school etc. so you could get an iPhone for a steal. So much so that it’s practically free.
You can also trade-in your old iPhone for a newer one if you decide to go with AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint for a qualified trade-in.
