Prices reflect autopay and paperless billing where required. Verified from carrier sites and refreshed regularly. Estimated taxes and fees. Final amount determined by carrier at checkout/billing.
A “free” phone is a 36-month commitment wearing a discount label.
1. The phone is financed
The full retail price is split across 36 monthly instalments and added to your bill. Nothing has been given away yet.
2. A credit cancels it out
Each month the carrier applies a bill credit for the same amount. On paper the phone costs nothing, as long as every month arrives.
3. The conditions hold it together
Change plan, close the line, or pay the device off early and the remaining credits stop while the instalments do not.
None of this is hidden — it is written in the offer terms. It is just written where nobody reads. This site pulls the numbers out of that fine print and puts them next to the price.
What we check, and what we will not claim
What we check
- Prices come from the carriers' own public plan pages, not from a reseller or a summary of one.
- Per-line pricing is recorded at every line count, so the number you see is the number for your account size.
- Offer terms — trade-in, new line, port-in, autopay — are stored as written, with a link back to the source page.
- A person reviews every record before it is published. Anything unreadable is left blank instead of guessed.
What we will not claim
- That you personally qualify. Eligibility depends on your credit, your address, and your trade-in, and only checkout decides it.
- That the total includes taxes and regulatory fees. It does not, and those vary by state and by line.
- That an offer is still live this minute. Carrier promotions change without notice; the source link is there so you can confirm.
- That one carrier has better coverage where you live. That is a map question, not a price question.
Questions people actually ask
- Are the prices you show what I will pay?
- They are the advertised monthly price per line at your line count, with autopay and paperless billing applied where the carrier requires them, and before taxes, regulatory fees, and any device payment. Where there is room, we also show the total for all your lines. Only the carrier's own checkout can tell you the final number for your address and situation.
- Why does the per-line price fall as I add lines?
- Carriers price multi-line accounts on a sliding scale, so the fourth line often costs far less than the first. That is why comparing at the wrong line count is misleading, and why this site asks for your line count before it shows a price.
- What is the difference between prepaid and postpaid plans?
- With a prepaid plan, you pay for each month before it starts. There is usually no credit check and no contract. Service stops if you do not pay. With a postpaid plan, the carrier bills you after each month. A postpaid plan often needs a credit check. Most phone financing and bill-credit offers need a postpaid line. The comparison table has a plan type filter, so you can see one type or both.
- Can I keep my phone number when I switch carriers?
- Yes. US number portability rules let you keep your number when you change carriers, if the line is still active. Do not cancel your old service first. Give the new carrier your account number and a transfer PIN from your current carrier. The old line closes when the transfer is complete. If you still pay for a phone in installments, the remaining balance can become due. Some switcher offers also require that you bring your number.
- What is an eSIM, and can my phone use one?
- An eSIM is a SIM that is built into the phone. The carrier does not give you a plastic card. Instead, you download a profile in the phone settings, often with a QR code. Most recent iPhone, Pixel and Galaxy models support eSIM. iPhone 14 and later models sold in the US have no physical SIM tray. Before you switch, check the phone settings and the carrier’s eSIM page. Not every carrier activates every phone by eSIM.
- Do you get paid when I switch?
- No. There is no affiliate link, no referral fee, and no sponsored placement on this site. The cheapest plan is whichever one is actually cheapest at your line count.
