What makes this offer especially noteworthy is the tagline: “Any Year. Any Conditions.” We’ve seen deals in devices with cracked screens, but those deals dictate that the phone must be on and working unless the screen is broken. AT&T goes a step further, allowing customers to trade on any phone, under any conditions. We checked the deal by giving AT&T an original Galaxy S device with no features at all, and we’ve confirmed that the deal works as advertised. how can that be?We need to read the fine print here. You don’t actually get the phone for free – you have to pay for the phone, and AT&T pays you back in the form of a bill credit for the duration of your contract. These payments start three months after you sign up, so the $1,000 allocated over the rest of the contract will return less than $50 per month. So if you’re going to pay $75 a month for an unlimited wireless plan, you’ll pay just over $25.Of course, AT&T has a list of eligible devices (opens in new tab), and the content is quite extensive, extending to the Galaxy A family. If the list of eligible devices is final, we can’t say it includes “any” Galaxy devices. If you’re in the market for a new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, you’re likely to take advantage of AT&T’s generosity by opting for the cheapest qualified pre-owned Samsung Galaxy.
