Big Red offering magenta-tinged deals

While not every new deal offered by Verizon, Sprint or AT&T has its genesis with T-Mobile's UNcarrier offerings, we're pretty sure that Legere and crew is putting pressure on the other three carriers to make some pro-consumer moves. A few days ago, we showed you a leaked Verizon document revealing a $100 bill credit that the mobile operator would give to those activating a new line with a two-year contract. That deal ends February 17th.

Now, Verizon has officially posted a new deal that runs through the end of March. Trade-in a qualifying smartphone in working condition and receive a Verizon gift card with $100 to $300 of value. To determine how much your trade is worth, head to the sourcelink and type in the device that you are looking to get rid off. If it is an Apple iPhone, Find My iPhone must be disabled.

Verizon will accept phones from any carrier although those purchased with government funds, or reported as lost or stolen, are not allowed. The gift card will arrive two weeks after the trade-in is received. If you use the gift card toward a new smartphone, a signed two-year pact is required.
