Let me begin by saying this is by no means an incredible deal.
However, for a family who’s looking for a quality, economical phone option to couple with an additional line, or an individual new to Verizon who isn’t bringing his/her own device and doesn’t care about the latest and greatest technology, this is a deal to consider.
Verizon Wireless iPhone 6S Deal
Important to note upfront, this deal requires activation of a new Verizon Wireless line of service.
With that new line activation comes a one-time fee of $30.
For the phone portion, you’ll be billed $5 per month for 24 months for the 32GB version of the iPhone 6S. You can also get a 128GB version for $10 per month.
The $5 per month charge will be the result of a monthly (promo) statement credit of $9.58 off the regular monthly price of $14.58.
Which means, you’ll effectively be locked into a 24-month service contract with Verizon.
We’ve seen similar deals in previous years where you could activate a line, pay for a month of service and then pay the device off, in-full, at the deal price, leaving Verizon for less expensive cell service providers.
That is not the case with this deal.
While you are getting a deal on the phone price ($5 x 24 = $120 vs. $349.99 to purchase outright) you will, again, be locked in to paying Verizon’s monthly cell service fee, the exact amount depending on the plan you choose.
$55 (plus tax and fees) appears to be the least expensive one-line plan currently offered by Verizon. Of course, your monthly fee may be less if you’re adding a new line to an existing shared data service plan.
This deal is good on online purchases/activations only. You won’t get this deal if you go into a Verizon Wireless retail location.
The promo credit will be applied to your account within 1-2 billing cycles.
And if you cancel the line of service prior to the end of the 24-month period, you’ll likely owe the remaining balance of the $349.99 less the $5 monthly payments you’ve already made.

Wrap Up
If you already had plans to add a new line of service with Verizon Wireless but didn’t want to pay a $20, $30, or more per month charge for a phone, this deal might be for you.
Granted, you’re not getting the most recent Apple technology, but the iPhone 6S is still a good phone which should last at least through the 24-month period associated with this deal.
And the phone price you’ll be paying is much better than what Verizon normally charges.
That said, if you’re looking for a real deal on a phone and cell service, there are better ways to go.
