[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are normally deals on Verizon that give you a free phone with a new line.  If there isn't one now, I guarantee there will be on Black Friday in 1 months.

What we did was when we were ready to get our kids phones, we signed up for the new line and took the new phone and gave our old phones to our kids. [/quote]

Free phones are not free. they just have no upfront cost and instead you "finance" them through your contracts and monthly payments.[/quote]

This simply isn't true.  I mean it's true that the payments are in the bill but it's not true that you're paying for it.  The phone might be $20 a month for example and they'll list it on the bill then also have a $20 credit for the phone for two years.  Making the net cost zero.  If you end the plan before it's paid off then the balance of the phone is due immediately.  So while yes it's being paid off over time, you don't actually pay for it in these offers as long as you continue the service until the phone is paid for. [/quote]
