The end of the year is one of the most popular times for cell phone providers to offer deals on everything from service plans to new phone purchases. Though it’s not necessary to spend a fortune to get a decent smartphone, many service providers are offering buy one, get one free deals, significantly offsetting the cost.
Note that most of these deals give you the money back on the second phone via bill credits, so if you want to be free to change providers, you might want to steer clear of these offers. Here are the best buy one, get one free deals on smartphones right now!
