Several wireless service providers are now offering free iPhone 7 to customers. Consumers will have to agree to a certain deal to acquire these new Apple phones.
According to The Verge, several wireless service providers are taking advantage of the popularity of the iPhone 7 recently. This has become a big opportunity for them to take in a lot of customers with a tempting offer. AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint are offering the latest Apple phone for free.
According to the official website of Sprint, before the consumers can get the Apple phone, they must have an eligible phone to trade in. The eligible phones include the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, and the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. The provider even gives a 30 day total satisfaction guarantee for their customers who are taking the deal.
Other providers only take in the iPhone 6 phones for the trade in. There are also others that will accept the Samsung Galaxy S7 phones.
The phones for the trade in should be in good shape too, so consumers should only trade in phones with no broken screens. For those who want to purchase the Apple phone with more than 32 GB of storage, they will have to pay cash.
Consumers will get locked into that wireless service provider for two years, if they take the trade in deal. This new deal is the same as the old two year contract, but with a new twist. The difference this time around is that they will have to hand over their recent phone, which is only slightly used.
For consumers who want to cancel their deal, they will have to surrender their phone or pay off its full price. The monthly payments they have given to the provider will get subtracted to the full payment.
AT&T and Verizon are the only ones that offer full payment, while T-Mobile and Sprint offers consumers to hand the new phone back. They are reminded that they will not get their old phones back after the trade in deal.
Some of the wireless service providers take a few months to begin adding credits to the consumers' bills. They will still have to pay the taxes on the phone and pay for other fees.
