Here are the carriers that offer the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 for free (or Z Fold 6 for cheap)

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Fold Flip 6 are two of the best and most widely available foldable devices in the US. The Z Fold 6 is definitely the bigger refresh of the two, but both phones bring welcome improvements to the mix. Interested in buying a member of the Galaxy Z series but looking to save some money in the process? While there were initially some deals for a free Z Flip 6 or a dirt cheap Fold 6 at launch, these have since gone away.

How do I get a Samsung Z Flip 6 for free?

Unfortunately none of the carriers currently are offering the Flip 6 for free anymore, though it’s possible this could change down the road. Even if a free promotion comes available, no one is going to just hand you a free high-end Android phone, but you can sometimes get a free phone from a carrier, as long as you don’t mind some strings attached.

While every carrier’s promotions differ, most are going to require a specific plan, a trade-in, or a similar set of concessions in order to qualify. You can also expect a contract period,  typically 36 months in the US, though T-Mobile still offers phone payment plans for just two years.

You’ll technically be charged every month for your phone, but you’ll get an instant credit each month to cover your bill. This is important because it means if you decide to cancel your carrier service, you’ll have to pay off the remaining balance on your phone first. You also can’t just pay off your phone early without losing access to your free credit promotion. If you wait out the full contract, you’ll own the Galaxy S24 outright and can then cancel your service whenever you please.

We want to be upfront, free phone deals are often full of catches. If you planned on signing up for a new line or upgrading to a more expensive plan already, sure free phone deals can be worth it. If you are mixed about your carrier though and might switch to another network in the future, it’s probably not worth the headache.
