If you missed the preorder period, fear not: Verizon has decided to keep its excellent Samsung Galaxy S24 deal going for a little bit longer.

Send the carrier ANY Galaxy phone and sign up for an eligible data plan and you could get up to $1,000 in promo credits over 36 months, enough to make the Samsung Galaxy S24 or Galaxy S24 Plus completely free. Even dirt-cheap Galaxy phones will guarantee you the max credit, regardless of model or condition, so dig out those old devices and see if you're eligible. 

Like all carrier promos, there's a bit of fine print involved, but it's the kind of Galaxy S24 deal that we thought would completely vanish once the phones hit store shelves. If only the free storage upgrade had stuck around! 

Samsung Galaxy S24 128GB: $799.99FREE with any Galaxy trade-in and eligible line at Verizon

Send Verizon any old Galaxy phone and add a line with the Unlimited Plus or Unlimited Ultimate plan and the carrier will hook you up with enough trade-in credit to make the Galaxy S24 totally free. The flagship has only been out since January 31st, so that's a big deal.

You could also get a free Galaxy S24 Plus if you send Verizon any Samsung phone and add a line with Unlimited Ultimate. The plan in question is a bit pricey, but there are some pretty nice multi-line discounts available if you need to soften the blow. 

Not only that, but the carrier will also give you a Galaxy Watch 6 and Tab S9 FE tablet with eligible service plans. All things said and done, you could be looking at up to $1,900 of free stuff if you play your cards right.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra 256GB: $1,299.99 $299.99 with Galaxy trade-in and Unlimited Ultimate plan at Verizon

Last but not least comes the supremely powerful Galaxy S24 Ultra. Just like the S24 Plus, you can get $1,000 off the phone when you trade in a Galaxy device and add a line with the Unlimited Ultimate plan. Considering that the S24 Ultra starts at $1,299.99, this deal could make the purchase a lot easier.

    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+.
