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
Get iPhone 14 Pro for free when you switch to Verizon with select trade-in and Unlimited Plus plan.
If you’re looking to get your hands on the latest iPhone, Verizon has a fantastic promotion running currently that gets you a 128GB iPhone 14 Pro for free (a $1,000 value) when you switch to Verizon, trade in your current smartphone, and choose the Unlimited Plus plan.
When switching from your existing wireless carrier to Verizon, you’ll receive a $200 Verizon e-gift card that you can use to purchase accessories like cases, chargers, and more, or simply use it towards your monthly phone bill. The great news is that you’ll be able to keep your existing phone number when you switch, so you don’t have to worry about updating your friends and family with a new number.
Additionally, you can trade in your current working or broken smartphone (free of any battery damage) for up to $800 of bill credits applied over 36 months. This, combined with your $200 Verizon e-gift card credit, covers the monthly device cost of the iPhone 14 Pro, so all you pay for is your Unlimited plan.

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.
