TL;DR: You can get the Samsung Galaxy S26+ for free when you open a new line on Verizon's Unlimited Plus or Unlimited Ultimate plan.

If you’re thinking about upgrading your smartphone, there are a few ways to bring the price down (if you know where to look).

Mobile carriers often run promotions in which they heavily discount devices or bundle savings through long-term contracts and eligible trade-ins. One standout deal of this type that's live right now is on the Samsung Galaxy S26+ with Verizon. And better yet, there's no trade-in required.

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.

With this smartphone, you'll be getting a device built around Galaxy AI, so everyday tasks are faster and easier to complete. It’s powered by Samsung’s latest high-performance processor for fast and smooth performance, and it benefits from an ultra-vivid display.
