Does AT&T offer free phones?

AT&T has a variety of smartphones you can get at no extra cost with an eligible trade-in . Whether you’re in the market for a new iPhone 17 Pro Max , or iPhone Air , one of the newest Android phones, like the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL , or the Samsung Galaxy S26 , Galaxy S26+ , or Galaxy S26 Ultra ,you’ll have options to help make your smartphone low or no cost.

Should I trade in my cell phone?

There are plenty of benefits to trading in your old phone. Maybe you are an early tech adopter and can’t wait to have the new Google Pixel 10 Pro XL , iPhone 17 Pro Max or Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra . When you trade in an old device, you get the value of your old phone while upgrading to a new phone with the latest features and updates. Plus, AT&T gives old phones a second life or recycles them, so chalk up another win for sustainability, too. Checking the trade-in value of your phone is fast and easy. Just head over to AT&T trade-in and complete a few quick steps: Select the phone or device you want to trade in. Answer a few questions about the model and condition. Get your instant trade-in quote. When you trade-in an old device, you may get bill credits for a qualifying trade-in device or an AT&T promotion card for your old device. Read more about the AT&T Trade-in program

Is it better to buy a phone outright or buy a phone on an installment plan?

Buying a smartphone outright will reduce your monthly payments even if it’s a new iPhone or Samsung Galaxy series. However, the cost of buying a smartphone outright and buying on an installment plan are ultimately the same. That’s because AT&T offers 0% APR for 36 months for well-qualified customers with the AT&T Installment Plan . In fact, if you buy a smartphone that qualifies for a promotion requiring an installment plan, the cost of the phone on an installment plan may work out to be less than the cost of the smartphone bought outright (without the promotion). AT&T also offers the AT&T Installment Plan with AT&T Next Up Anytime . For an extra $10 per month, you can upgrade your cell phone anytime (after making your first payment) without having to worry about the remaining balance of your installment plan, so long as you turn in your current phone. Every year, or once you’ve paid off one-third of your phone’s cost, you’ll be eligible for our smartphone deals (maximum three upgrades in a 12-month period). The $10 per month AT&T Next Up Anytime charge doesn’t apply toward the installment balance owed on your device. Learn more about Next Up Anytime .

Does AT&T offer deals and discounts on wireless plans?

There are several ways to save on your AT&T bill. One great way to save is by bundling AT&T services. If you’re new to AT&T, you can get AT&T Fiber service (where available) and save 20% per month on your internet bill when you add an eligible AT&T unlimited plan. 1 If you already have AT&T Wireless service, you can add AT&T Fiber service and save 20% per month on your internet bill. If you have AT&T Fiber and add new wireless service, you could be eligible to save 20% per month on your wireless plan. Some customers may be eligible to save money on their monthly bill through the AT&T Signature Savings , a discount program that offers benefits to eligible employees, students, and others associated with certain companies, universities, and organizations that have a qualifying service agreement with AT&T. With the AT&T Signature Savings discount, you could save up to 20% per line up to five phone lines on our best unlimited plan . 2 Learn more about AT&T Signature Savings, how to determine if you’re eligible and how to enroll . 1 Savings applied to one service based on eligibility and service(s) purchased/added. AT&T may temporarily slow data speeds if the network is busy. 2 Req’s proof of eligibility. Credit(s) within 2 bill cycles. Up to 20% per phone line discount applies only to phone lines 1-5.

What is the cheapest phone for kids?

When shopping for a cell phone for kids, you might consider which features you want your child to have, the availability of parental control options, the device’s durability, your budget, and more. To find a phone within your budget, you can browse affordable phones for kids by price or feature . For example, if you only need a basic phone for emergencies, choosing a smartphone with the biggest memory and fastest processor may not make much sense. If you think your child is responsible and ready for a smartphone, you can explore popular new phones like iPhone 17e or Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra . You'll also want to consider which wireless plan works best for your needs. If you're a current AT&T Wireless customer, you may be able to add a line to your existing wireless plan . We also offer smartwatches for kids, such as the new AmiGO Jr watch , which features internet access, apps, and parental controls. Learn more about shopping for a cell phone for kids
