AT&T has had similar promotions in the past, but this time seems different, I'll explain...

Offer: $1,000 off the Galaxy S23 Ultra and a free upgrade from 256gb to 512gb, over the course of 36 months with an eligible unlimited plan.

This time around when I select a phone to trade in, it will allow me to select a Galaxy S3, broken screen, doesn't turn on, and still be eligible for the $1,000 credit!

So essentially I got myself a Galaxy S23 Ultra for $5.53 per month for 36 months, minus the S3 I plan on purchasing from eBay for $25.

Trade in credit has never been this good. $1,000 is the highest offer I've seen, plus get a 512gb for the price of a 256gb. To top it all off almost any phone in any condition is eligible!

For me it's a no brainer especially since I'm on a family unlimited plan for $26 a month after the first responder discount.

If you plan to stay on an unlimited plan for 36 months, it's obviously a no brainer.

Incredible offer. Why is no one talking about it?
Also, seems you can get the S23 for $800 and still get the full $1000 credit ($200 difference upfront credit). See terms attached.

A couple of updates:

Per the Brick store rep, this offer (both the free 2x storage and the $1,000 trade-in credit) should be active until the day before the phone is released, February 16th.

Regarding the quoted point about getting a $200 credit upfront, the store reps (both in Brick and Lakewood) said that's incorrect, though they weren't entirely clear what the term means (Lakewood rep thought it may be referring to if the actual [not promotional] trade-in value is above the credit amount so not relevant). It's still possible this is truly a credit and the reps are just not aware, since in the past, I believe the trade-in offer was never above the phone price. If anyone has any more knowledge or insight to add, please do.

Lakewood rep also said that so long as the plan remains in place, wouldn't be an issue if the SIM switches to a new phone (I was concerned in the case the phone is lost or stolen). Seems you'd  even be able to sell the phone, though locked to AT&T for the 3 years obviously.

I don’t think there’s any plan that makes it worth it for 3 years, but it’s possible I’m mistaken.

I would assume the same. Hence the question.

I don’t think there’s any plan that makes it worth it for 3 years, but it’s possible I’m mistaken.
Which is probably why nobody is talking about this "deal".
I currently pay ~$40 after taxes  for my phone. Unlimited T&T + 15GB of data.
If I buy the S23+ outright, I can get it for ~$1030 after tax with either 1 year of Samsung care or $100 Amazon gift card.
If I switch to Verizon, the cheapest plan comes out to $80+ after discounts and taxes (not including insurance). On top of that, the phone is $200 - as long as I keep the plan for 3 years. Assuming I keep the plan for 3 years, I will be paying ~$1700 for the phone + the post pay plan.

That does not sound like a good deal to me, but I guess to each their own. If I want the phone, I'll just buy it outright. I can also finance through Samsung @ $43 a month x 24 months. That $43 is less than what I would be paying with the VZW "deal".

ETA: If I had 3 other people to jump into this with, I would consider it, since the monthly plan would be almost 1/2 the price for pretty much the same plan that I have now.
(I'm not looking for others here, I'm just speaking theoretically.)

How much is their unlimited plan for four people? And Is that plan eligible for this offer?

Understood. I was coming from the perspective of someone on an AT&T group plan already.

On top of that, the phone is $200 - as long as I keep the plan for 3 years.
Using your example of S23+, the phone would be $0 plus taxes and a $35 upgrade fee, not $200.

I currently pay $31 per line after taxes, fees, and first responder discount (1 guy on my plan is on chaveirim) for an unlimited plan with 5g, 15gb hotspot, possible slow down after 50gb (never happened), free calls and texts to Mexico/Canada, etc.
