AT&T handles its promotions differently from Verizon or T-Mobile. Instead of flooding the market with free-phone offers that require no trade-in, AT&T focuses on consistent discounts that usually extend to both new and existing customers. That makes the deals less flashy, but often more fair.
There are a few catches, of course. Many upgrade offers require you to be on one of AT&T’s pricier unlimited plans as an existing customer, while new customers may qualify with even the entry-level unlimited tier. And while most of the biggest savings come from trade-ins, AT&T is generally flexible here as older or damaged phones often still qualify for credits that can knock $1,000 or more off the price of a new device. A handful of promotions even skip the trade-in requirement entirely, bringing prices close to free.
With that in mind, here are my picks for the 5 best AT&T deals for the month of November.
Get the Samsung S25 Edge for free, or the Ultra for nearly free

While there aren’t any free phone deals for the Galaxy S25 or S25 Plus right now, those interested in the S25 Edge can get it for free with a trade-in. Prefer the Galaxy S25 Ultra? While you can’t get it for free, you can save up to $1,100 with a trade-in. Even better, the deal is compatible with most of AT&T’s plans.
Get a free iPhone 17 Pro for free

AT&T is giving you the chance to get the iPhone 17 or iPhone 17 Pro for free with a trade-in. You’ll need a trade-in worth at least $250 to qualify. If you prefer the iPhone 17 Pro Max, you can get it for $1,100 off with a 36-month installment plan, which works out to $2.78 a month.
