Remember when two-year contracts were a thing that US carriers imposed on their customers to make sure said customers couldn’t go anywhere else, preferably ever? Fortunately, that’s well behind us now, although we’re not entirely certain three-year device payment plans are really any better.
Clearly, the largest wireless service provider in the US hopes you’ll stick around longer this way while also making it seem like its phones are cheaper than before. The aforementioned iPhone 13 Pro Max, for instance, will only set you back $30.55 a month for three years, with something like the Galaxy A42 5G fetching as little as $11.11 a month.
For what it’s worth, there are no changes on the horizon for customers that are already on those types of agreements, and at least for the time being, Best Buy still seems to be doing business on 24, 30, and 36-month Verizon installment plans.
That actually beats T-Mobile’s range, which merely includes 24 and 30-month options, but evidently, that may not prove to be the case much longer.
