C. Scott Brown / Android Authority The offer of a free phone is a huge enticement. It’s one we see almost every big carrier dangling as a carrot to get your business. However, while there might be prize draws and generous YouTubers who’ll give out a free iPhone 16 to a chosen few, the phrase is often misleading — no carrier is giving you $1,000 worth of hardware for nothing in return. We’ll break down the overall free phone package you sign up for from the big three US carriers, then compare i

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Historically, prepaid carriers haven’t offered many of the extra benefits found on postpaid plans from major carriers — especially international roaming.

Albuquerque, New Mexico -- home of green chiles, 300 days of sunshine, the International Balloon Fiesta... and achingly slow internet.
