AT&T still has that deal too. On their site, it ends on Feb 15.

They did change some things from their initial deals. Like Verizon, only the S24 and S24+ is for free with "any year, any condition" trade-in. The Ultra ends up like $8.40 a month.

Also, you no longer get the automatically upgraded capacity - the "free" deal is only for the base capacity. The initial pre-order deal was you automatically get the S24 with 256GB and the S24+ with 512GB. You couldn't even pick the lower capacity. Now, as soon as you pick the next size up, it has a cost. It's only 4 and 6 bucks each, but still.

Still pretty nice though, even with the additional "4 and 6 bucks each" for the upgraded capacity.
But I wonder what Verizon's 'Unlimited Ultimate' and AT&T's equivalent plan costs for 2 or 3 lines per month?

e.g.— We're only paying $60/mo for 3 lines on Xfinity Mobile's 'Unlimited' plan.
So if Verizon's & AT&T's 'Unlimited' plans are $30~$40 or even $50+ more than what we're paying per month on Xfinity Mobile's 'Unlimited' plan, than it'd be like paying those additional amounts each month— in phone purchasing installment payments —thereby amounting to higher costs for the phones, than they may cost elsewhere.

$40 x 24 months = $960
$40 x 36 months =$1,440

. . . In fact, here's what Verizon's charging per month for their 'Ultimate Unlimited' plan, in our area:

------------
Verizon chat agent - Rose at 14:09, Feb 2:
"The Unlimited Ultimate plan cost for 2 lines is $90/mo each line without autopay, or $80/mo with autopay."
"For 3 phone lines that would be $75/mo each line without autopay, or $65/mo with autopay."
-------------
. . so with Verizon, we'd be paying $120 more per month —than we are now w/our current Xfinity Mobile plan, for 2 'Umlimited' lines— making the new S24's cost approx 4 times more than we're currently paying for our S23U & S23+.
