The best Verizon deals for September 2021: free iPhones, discounts on plans, and more

Apple iPhone 12: save up to $700 with trade-in, plus $500 with number port-in
The ever-popular iPhone 12 remains the best choice for most Apple phone users and this week's Verizon deals have some great ways to save on the device. New customers in particular can save up to $700 with a trade-in, plus an additional $500 if they're switching over from another carrier. Combined, both those savings will get you a free device here - although you'll need a new line on an unlimited data plan to be eligible.

Apple iPhone 12 Mini: save up to $700 with trade-in, plus $500 with number port-in
The palm-friendly iPhone 12 Mini is the only device in the latest range of Apple flagships that you can score for free with a trade-in. While every bit as powerful as its larger siblings, the lower $700 baseline price of this device means it's just about covered by the maximum trade-in rebate if you pick it up with a new line on an unlimited data plan. Switching bonuses are also available, as is a smaller trade-in saving for those looking to simply upgrade.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro: save up to $700 with trade-in, plus $500 with number port-in
The iPhone 12 Pro is a great choice if you want a reasonably sized device with a super top-end camera. These devices are incredibly premium pieces of kit, but as expected, those same fantastic Verizon deals are available on this model. Trade-in to save up to $700 with a new unlimited line, plus an additional $500 with a switch. Existing customer? You can also trade-in, but there's no free device on the cards, unfortunately.

Surprisingly, this phone can actually be had for free with the combination of a trade-in, new line, and switching bonus.

Apple iPhone 11: free with a new unlimited data plan (no trade) at Verizon
On backorder: If you can wait, we highly recommend checking out this week's Verizon deals on the venerable iPhone 11. While not 5G compatible, this device is still a great flagship for 2021 and you can pick it up for free right now with a new line on an unlimited data plan. No trades are needed here, which makes it a much more readily available option than a free iPhone 12 for most people.View Deal

Apple iPhone SE: $10/mo free with a new unlimited data line at Verizon
Another option with this week's Verizon deals is to score the latest iPhone SE for free with a new unlimited data line. We would, however, advocate going with the iPhone 11 (above) instead since it's available for free under the same terms. Both are 4G devices, but the iPhone 11 has a much more modern design, a much larger screen, and support for wireless charging too.View Deal

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3: save up to $1,000 with trade-in, plus $500 with number port-in
Backorder - Samsung's latest foldable wonder, the Galaxy Z Fold 3, has proven popular since its launch last month - so much so, it's currently on backorder. Maybe that isn't surprising given the huge Verizon deals available on this device - with a maximum saving of up to $1,500 being available for those who switch, trade, and get a new line. With a hugely powerful processor, refined design, and more screen real-estate than most tablets, this device is a pricey, but stunningly gorgeous piece of kit.View Deal

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3: save up to $1,000 with trade-in, plus $500 with number port-in
And the Fold 3 isn't the only new 'foldable' device from Samsung that's now included in our Verizon deals roundup - there's also the Flip 3. This one's featuring a verticle clamshell design that's refreshingly old-school and makes it a real pocket-friendly gem. It's also way cheaper than the Fold 3, despite having just as powerful of a processor. Those same excellent trade-in rebates of up to $1,500 are available to those who trade, switch, and get a device on a new line.View Deal

Samsung Galaxy S21: save up to $800 with trade-in, plus $500 with number port-in
The Galaxy S21 is a great 5G capable device that's a great choice for the vast majority of Android users. Its reasonable price (for a flagship) means you can actually score this device for free with a trade-in if you pick it up in conjunction with a new unlimited data line. Switching bonuses exist too, as does a smaller, but still good saving for existing customers looking to upgrade with a trade.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra: save up to $800 with trade-in, plus $500 with number port-in
For a premium Android device, we heartily recommend the Galaxy S21 Ultra - our current top smartphone choice at TechRadar. This device carries a hefty price tag indeed, but you can actually score it for free with a combination of a trade-in, new plan, and number port-in from another carrier. While it's hard to be eligible for all three conditions, lesser trade-in options are also available for existing customers.

Trade-in as a new customer and potentially save up to $1,300 on a single device, or simply trade-in as an existing customer to save up to $440.

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G: free with a new unlimited data line at Verizon
Here's a brand new deal from Verizon this week on a slightly older, but still absolutely great Samsung S20 device. The FE is a revised budget version of yesteryear's flagship but one that still manages to pack in a great camera, speedy processor, and 5G compatibility too. That latter perk makes this one a great pairing with a Verizon unlimited plan as you'll be zipping away at the highest possible speeds.View Deal

Orbic Myra 5G: free with a new unlimited data line
Another option for a free 5G-capable device with this week's Verizon deals is the Obric Myra - a slightly more 'budget' orientated Android device than the S20 FE above, but probably quite a good choice if it's sold out. We haven't reviewed this device, but it does have quite a good chipset, camera, and a very large battery - which should give it plenty of performance all around.View Deal

Samsung Galaxy A02s: free with a new line
If you're loyal to the Samsung brand, then you could consider the new Galaxy A02s - the current budget offering from the Android giant. This one's got a really huge 5,000MAh battery, dual-camera system, Snapdragon 450 processor, and rather large 6.5-inch display too. Like many budget devices, this one also supports microSD cards of up to 1TB if you'd like to expand your storage.View Deal

Nokia 2 V Tella: free with a new line
The Nokia 2 V Tella is another top budget contender, and a pretty new phone having been released back in October 2020. With a dual back camera, 5.45-inch display, Biometric scanner, and 3,000mAH battery, it's not a bad choice for those who don't want to break the bank on their phone bill.View Deal

Upgrade to a 5G device: up to $440 off select phones
Verizon has unfortunately ended its big '5G upgrade' scheme just this past week - a promotion that offered trade-in rebates of up to $800 off leading 5G flagships. Will it come round again any time soon? It's hard to say, although luckily existing customers do still have options in the meantime. Right now you can, for example, still score yourself up to $440 off with a trade-in and keep your line.
