Verizon is offering the Samsung Galaxy S26+ for free when you open a new line on either its Unlimited Plus or Unlimited Ultimate plan. The deal works by giving you $1,100 in bill credits spread over 36 months, which essentially cancels out the phone’s cost. But this only works if you stay on an eligible plan for the duration.To qualify, you’ll need to add a new line, choose one of the qualifying unlimited plans, and either buy the phone outright or on a 36-month, 0% APR installment plan. You’ll still pay taxes and a $40 activation fee upfront, and if you cancel your line or switch to a cheaper, ineligible plan, the remaining credits stop and you’ll have to pay off the balance.
