Here are all the carriers that'll give you an iPhone 14 for free
The launch of the iPhone 16 might be making all of the headlines, but it’s also a good time to step back a couple of generations for a better iPhone deal. Thankfully, various mobile carriers have offers on older Apple devices, including packages that’ll land you an iPhone 14 for free.
Here are all the carriers offering deals that get you the former Apple flagship for no extra charge.
Where can you get a free iPhone 14?
The only way to get a free iPhone 14 is via a carrier plan — no one is handing them out with no strings attached. These plans will have a minimum monthly subscription charge and may have other caveats, such as trading in your old phone. With that said, here are the carriers and retailers currently offering an iPhone for free when you sign up.
Verizon
Verizon offers up to $800 off the iPhone 14 with a new line on an eligible plan. You can even get $200 towards the cost of switching from another provider. To qualify, you just have to sign up for a select 5G unlimited plan on a new line, but promo credits are offered over the duration of a 36-month contract.
T-Mobile
T-Mobile has several different deals on the iPhone 14, some of which include getting the handset for free. Here are the salient offers, which both require a 24-month contract.
- If you’re already with T-mobile, you can get the iPhone 14 for free when you trade in your old device and go for the Go5G Plus plan.
- New customers adding a new line can get the phone for free without a trade-in.
You can also get $700 off a second iPhone 14 when you buy one on a carrier plan, but you’ll need a plan for the second handset as well.
UScellular
UScellular only operates in certain states, but if you’re lucky enough to be in one of them, you can get an iPhone 14 for free without a trade-in. You’ll get $830 off with a new line, leaving nothing to pay. It requires a 36-month contract on the Unlimited Evolved Basic, Everyday, or Even Better plan.
That covers all the main providers that will give you an Apple handset for free in the US. Just be wary of thieves when you’re out and about — you’re not the only one looking to get an iPhone 14 for free.
If you’re not sold on these devices, you can find several good iPhone 14 alternatives here.
Frequently asked questions about getting a free iPhone 14
The standard iPhone 14 is the lowest-priced of the range. It originally retailed for $799, although the price has since dropped to $699. A cheaper alternative in the Apple line would be the Apple iPhone SE (2022).
None of the big carriers offer the iPhone 14 Pro Max free, but with $800 trade-in values on offer, you can get it for just $299.
Well, almost anything free is worth it. But even at the retail price of $799.99, the iPhone 14 is certainly worth it. It’s an excellent device.
