Verizon is throwing in a free Galaxy S9 with each purchase

Verizon just launched a blockbuster BOGO deal for those who were looking for a reason to upgrade a couple of lines. You buy one Galaxy S9 or S9+ and get the other free.

The catch that Verizon tosses in — and which other carriers also use — is that you will receive the “free” phone as monthly credits over a 24 month period. This means you don’t see all the savings at once, and you have to stick with that plan for 24 months if you want the full benefit.

Even still, if you don’t anticipate switching phones for a couple of years and could do with an extra phone for yourself or a loved one it’s probably the nicest offer you’re going to get from Verizon.
