I see all the ads, but when I go to the Verizon site, it’s very confusing, and looks like you have to spend at least $100 month, to get the phone. Can anyone explain how this deal actually works? I wouldn’t mind getting a new phone, especially “free”, but doubt that’s the proper representation.

iPhones are ridiculously overpriced, and most companies that offer “free” phones are too.

Pay for an Android phone and use a company like MINT Mobile.
