AT&T Prepaid customers can get a free phone for Christmas with (almost) no strings attached
The conditions of the deal/s may have changed since the initial publishing of this post.
While the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals from America’s big four wireless service providers have unsurprisingly long expired, AT&T still has a couple of discounts to offer its prepaid customers throughout the holidays.
One is an altogether new promotion that folks in the market for a backup handset and first-time smartphone users may find impossible to resist. Until January 10, AT&T Prepaid subscribers willing to open a new line of service can get the Alcatel Tetra completely free of charge.
Released just a few months ago, the 5-incher normally fetches $49.99 with prepaid plans, so as you can imagine, both the design and spec sheet are a serious blast from the past. But could this phone be so bad that it’s not even worth a try at $0? Probably not... as long as you keep your expectations low. We’re talking 854 x 480 screen resolution, 2GB RAM, 5MP rear camera, 2MP selfie shooter, and 2,050 mAh battery low. Of course, the pre-installed Android 8.1 Oreo software is not that bad, at least on paper.
Keep in mind that your free Alcatel Tetra will be restricted to the carrier’s Prepaid service for a full six months after activation, and you’ll need to enroll your plan in Auto Pay, as well as get a minimum $35 refill card to take advantage of this literal steal.
Don’t forget about the $99 iPhone 6s deal either, which is set to continue through January 10, as well as up to $50 discounts available on select Android devices right now, from the Samsung Galaxy Express Prime 3 to the LG Phoenix Plus.
