If you’re looking to upgrade your existing smartphone but are not sure where to start, you’ve come to the right place. If you’re like most people, you’ve probably been with the same cellular carrier for many years, and the thought of switching might be daunting. However, with the introduction of eSIM (electronic SIM cards), most carriers offer a trial run that allows you to test out their network without actually having to swap your service or get a new device. Not only can you ensure that coverage in your area is sufficient, but you’ll also have access to some great deals that many carriers only offer to those switching networks.

Best Verizon iPhone Deal
Apple
iPhone 14 Pro

The best part of this deal is that by trading in your current smartphone (working or not) you’ll receive up to $800 of bill credits that are applied over a 36-month period towards your new Samsung Galaxy S23+, so all you’ll really be paying for is your monthly Unlimited plan.
