“AT&T is offering a buy one, get one free deal currently on many of its popular smartphones, and while it’s not listed likely due to Apple, we’ve learned that iPhone 6s is actually eligible,” Jordan Kahn reports for 9to5Mac.
“You won’t find any mention of iPhones in AT&T’s advertising for the deal — in fact, it’s promoting the Samsung Galaxy S6 as the standout device for the deal — but we’ve confirmed with AT&T reps that iPhone 6s is also included and eligible for customers to include in the offer,” Kahn reports. “Not surprisingly, the deal will require AT&T Next, it’s monthly financing plan, and you’ll need to keep service with AT&T on the devices for at least 30 months to get the free device via bill credits that kick in after three months.”
Kahn reports, “The deal will end December 31st.”

MacDailyNews Take: Anybody want in on this one?
[Thanks to MacDailyNews Reader “Fred Mertz” for the heads up.]
A number of posters on the AppleInsider board are saying they’ve called AT&T and it does NOT apply to iPhones.
Crazy. I can’t imagine Apple approving this. The his has to be s service promo, using the iPhone as the magnet. While for Samsung it’s to push phones.
30 months is a very long contract.
Canada had to deal with *36* month contracts until a few years ago.
Verizon just quietly rips us off.
ATT lost me this cycle. When the 6S’s arrived very mobile company in the USA offered incredible plans for their existing and switching customers — every company but ATT, which sat there smugly just because. No offers, no plans, no discounts. No new ideas.
T-mobile will give me international roaming, 10GB data, unlimited free slow data after that and money to buy me out of ATT AND a cheaper rate. ATT just chuckled, knowing I would never actually leave.
Well I did. I’m saving $50 a month on two phones and my service is equal or slightly better.
And yes, three times I went to ATT to ask them about this and to enlist their help to create something that could even remotely match up. Just got smug smirks and bupkis.
So buh-bye big A.
Left Verizon for TM 6 months ago and can confidently assert it’s one of my best tech decisions in a long time – both in terms of cost and results.
Plus everywhere I’ve been (your results may vary) I’ve had at least as good signal as I had with Big V.
“and you’ll need to keep service with AT&T on the devices for at least 30 months”
30 months?!!!!! It’s a 2 1/2 year contract. No, thanks.
I always buy my iPhones, 6-8 months after new model intros, unlocked and clear and find they’re the cheapest deals.
