News India Live, Digital Desk: The year 2025 is about to end and the noise of ‘Black Friday Sale’ is everywhere. In the tech world, companies are throwing such offers to woo customers that it becomes difficult to believe at times.
This time America’s big telecom company Verizon It seems as if he has crossed the limit. Their new offer is spreading like wildfire among tech lovers. The company is saying that it is giving you not one, not two, but three-three brand new gadgets for “free”.
yes, you read it right Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, Pixel Watch 4 And Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE,
Sounds like a dream doesn’t it? That he went to the shop and brought back goods worth lakhs for free. But friends, behind the word ‘free’ there is often a big “star”.
It is applied. Let us do a post-mortem of this deal and understand in simple language what the catch is.
What’s the deal? (The Golden Offer) Verizon’s offer goes like this: If you get their connection, you get Google’s latest and most powerful phone, Pixel 10 Pro XL
Will be given for free. But wait, the picture is still pending. With this the company gives you a new Pixel Watch 4 (smartwatch) and a Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE
(Tablet) is also being given in bundle. That means you will be loaded with gadgets from top to bottom.
Now coming to the real issue: What does ‘free’ mean? (The Catch)
Friends, no company in the world will give you goods worth lakhs at a loss to itself. There are some conditions behind this “freebie”, which are very important to understand, otherwise you may fall into the ‘sweet trap’:
1. Any old phone will do, but… (Trade-in)
To get the Pixel 10 Pro XL for free, you have to give them your old phone. The good thing is that Verizon is saying that “any phone, any condition” will work. But in reality, this exchange offer only works with their most expensive plans.
2. Chain of ‘Ultimate’ plans (High-End Plan) This is where the money is spent. You will get these three gadgets only if you are a Verizon subscriber. “Ultimate Unlimited Plan”
Will choose. This is their most expensive plan. That means you will pay a huge amount every month not for the phone, but for the service. If you take any cheap plan, you will not get this offer.
3. Three Year Lock-in (36-Month Lock-in) The most important thing – you do not get these gadgets for free immediately. The company will give you their price “Bill Credits”
That too for the next 36 months (3 years). Understand in easy language:
The price of the phone will keep getting deducted from your monthly bill. If you stop the service or get your SIM ported before 3 years, you will have to pay all the remaining money at once. That means you are “tied” to them for 3 years.
- Should you take this deal? Yes, if:
- You’re already a Verizon user, need unlimited Internet, and don’t plan on changing your phone or network for the next 3 years. Then this deal is “icing on the cake”. No, if:
You do not want to be tied to an expensive plan or you are fond of changing your phone every year.
